hey guys, thinking of purchasing an st205 GT4...
was considering the R33 skyline but when I saw the GT4 sitting there it just amazed me... I've been reading up on them for the past few hours(specs, differences, etc) what I am worried about is finding parts...the engine seems more or less the same across all GT4s which means I am assuming that the ALLTRAC engine/transmission parts could be used if i needed to replace a part... what about the rest of the car? like brakepads/rotors, control arms, cv joints, bearings, etc all those other things that might need to be replaced due to the age of the car(or if they break at any time)... are most parts interchangeable with 6g celicas? like FWD models that were released in north america? I know i haven't searched alot(been only reading for a few hours today, before that i have never done any research on celicas in general as I've always been a nissan driver/fan)...but just wanted to know the answer to the above... basically if the parts are NOT interchangeable(most parts, not just engine/tranny), then I may be beter off getting the R33 skyline due to the fact that my friend is a nissan mech and i've got a few friends with R32 skylines and parts for those cars seem to be readily available locally... thanks for the help guys |

damn... that sounds good..i'm so happy the parts are readily available...but damn...i gotta do more research, cuz I gotta read up on common problems, see how strong the tranny is, what to look for when buying it, etc...
i'm gonna inspect the car VERY thoroughly as I would any car, but gonna have to find specific things known(I guess look in australian/europe forums as they were sold there?) I'm still deciding between the R33 skyline GTS-T and the GT4... to be honest, the R33 looks sleek and cleaner...the GT4 just looks aggressive... I'm leaning towards the GT4 though since AWD is good for these winters... I'll have to wait until Thursday anyway, so i'm gonna have to do alot of reading on these forums lol thanks for the info guys! |
