Hello,

The car is a 1989 Nissan Skyline GTS-4, it is basicaly a Skyline GTR but with a RB20DET motor instead of the RB26DETT.  
This car uses the same 4wd system the GTR does, it is rear wheel drive untill you lose traction in the rear wheels then it shoots upto 50% of the power to the front. It has a torque meter in the car to tell you how much power is going where I think it’s kinda cool.

Here are the specs:

KM’s: 128,000  
Engine: RB20DET  
5spd  
Hicas 4ws  
Fujitsu Exhaust system  
Other then that the cars is stock.

Asking price 13,800 OBO

This would be the step exactly below the GTR.

So:

GTR\> GTS-4\> GTS-T\> GTS

Looks good.

rb25 is a step below the gtr

this car is like a fully loaded V6 stang.

NeveR’s right…

It’s more than 15 years old so it is street legal…bunch of conditions as I understand it…currently coming to mind:

Right-hand drive decal on rear  
Pass emissions/cert  
Insured (as something else usually)

There are already R32’s in Canada.

Like NeveR said, there is no R32 with RB25. This car is one step below the GT-R, but it’s really nowhere close. The RB20 is a very powerful motor, with a lot of potential, almost as much as the RB25.

Don’t compare this car with a Stang :squint: :slap:

And yes, it’s fully legal here.

You don’t need that sticker if the car is equipped with working turn signals.

The R32 GTS25 had an RB25DE. The RB25DET made its first appearance in the R33.

So, why would this Skyline suck? You can mod this to be very fast too imo.  
Anyway just some friendly debate and a free bump.  
Good Luck on the sale.

car has to be 15 years old by the build MONTH… not by the year.  
so if it was produced in July 1990, it has to wait until July 2005.

and you dont need a sticker… unless it has no turn signals.

nice looking car, the GTS-4 has always been the red-headed step child of the R32s.

good luck on the sale gabe, let me know how Yasu is doing.

Cheers!

Great car. It is definitely one of the fastest in the Japanese mainstream market … of course, the extreme market goes to the 2JZ and RB26 Twin Turbo engines and their respective Supra and Skyline vehicles (which I personally think have amazing bodies, no matter the generation). BUMP for a great guy, and I sat in this car while we took it for a brief spin around the block, and for the very short time I was in it, I can testify that this car is truly one of a kind and probably in the top bunch in every city you go to in Canada. It put me and Gabe back into our seats like we were in a jet, so I could only believe what kind of medical conditions (like shortness of breath or heart attack for older people) the RB26DETT could cause for some people. I simultaneously fear, envy, and desire the GT-R, no matter the generation.
