I've got a R33 S1 GTST with red badges.

I thought that the red ment turbo and the blue was N/A maybe it is, GTS4 are N/A so that is why they have blue badges. I'm sure Nissan never released a turbo GTS4 because it would compete to much with the GTR. ?

The 32's were the only turbo GTS4 that came out the 33 was n/a

gotta love that turbo aWD power and by the way trust me i went up against me mates 32 GTR and for about 2secs we were neck and neck and then goodnight for me so the 32 GTS4 is no comparison to the GTR

just my 2c

The Prince Skyline in 1964 before merging with Nissan was developed for races, they mass produced two cars in the S54 series that was modeled after the cars they developed for race use.

Both cars got a 1988cc SOHC inline-6 engine however the GT-A got a single carburetor and 105hp. The GT-B (More commonly known as the Classic 2000GT) got a 5-speed close ratio gearbox, full instrumentation, a limited slip differential, power brakes, a 99 liter fuel tank and a high compression version of the G7 with triple 40DCOE-18 Weber carburetors and 125hp.

But they both looked very similar, so how did Prince set them apart... yup... badges.

When the time came to pick which car Prince would send to represent it in the GT cicuits, the GT-B was picked, so it got the Red GT badge (as with any car that is built as the minimum 500 sold to public to qualify entry into a GT racing class). The GT-A in itself was an impressive machine and while lower spec than a GT-B pretty powerful in its own right. To show its heritage and its racing association, it got a Blue GT badge.

So now you know where the Skylines red and blue badges originate from.

I was told that any car in the Skyline range after that series that is built as a sports car (like the GT-B) recieves a red badge, and any car built for general use (such as a 4 door or a N/A) recieves a blue GT badge, keeping with the tradition from 1964.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
