Hey new here and have been looking at r32's for quite some time now. And I was wondering what exactly are the differences between the gts and gtr? I know some of them, but was hoping you guys could help. Thanks.

Main differences:GTS is a non turbo Skyline.GTS-t is a turbo Skyline with a 2.0L inline 6.GT-R is a twin turbo Skyline with a 2.6L inline 6.

GTS(-t) is a rear wheel drive (GTS4 was an AWD version)GT-R is AWD and HICAS 4 wheel steering.

Body panels of the GT-R have slight blister fenders front and rear, along with a different front facia.

GT-R has different front seats than the standard GTS(-t). GT-R also has a set of auxilary guages that monitor front diff torque, oil temp and boost. GT-R has 4-pot calipers in front and 2-pot calipers in back. (GTS-t Type M has them also, but not as beefy as the GT-R.)GT-R has drilled rotors.GT-R V-Spec has Brembo calipers and rotors (R32 V-Spec only. R33 on, all GT-Rs had Brembo brake components.)

How's that?
