Hi all, I have a GTS-S type, first way to recognise it is the sports steering wheel with the centre Skyline S as on the front grille, same as GTR I believe. It does run more power and has a few other tweeks, some stated in other posts. It's a farely rare model I gather.

If anyone want's to know their exact liner spec, P.M me your vin number and I'll send you a full factory spec for that specific motor. I have the Nissan database, pump in the vin and all is revealed!

Brake pads and discs for the S type are same as the GTS4. DBA discs are available, order DBA953S for slotted discs. Nissan original front pads are NIS41060AA190, rears are NIS44060AG089. The S type brakes are only compatible with the GTS4.

Hope this helps.

To tell if you have an LSD: jack the rear of your car up so both wheels are off the ground. Rotate one wheel by hand. If this moves the other wheel as well than you have an LSD. If not, single spinner.

Type-S - what does it really mean?

For example I have abs, airbag, (had) hicas, sunroof, lsd, (had) the flap in the exhaust, red GT badge, and a series II motor.

But i didnt have sideskirts, rear pods and just had the standard (non type m) front bar. is mine a type s?

Back on topic I believe brakes are the same accross all GTS25s

In FAST, the exhaust assembly with the flap in it is listed as belonging to the R33 'GTS25 Type S'. So that is probably the indicator that it is a Type S.

I believe that the body kit was entirely a 'tick the box' option in Japan. Incidentally, the 'type-M' front bumper doesn't have anything to do with the the 'type-M' GTS25T, all R33 GTS25T's are 'type-M', but they don't all have the bumper you are referring to. So again, just a 'tick the box' option.

No, this is the sports wheel, as on the S type.

If you P.M your vin number I'll give you the factory specs for your motor.

Errrm, how certain are you about the wheel thing? I thought that the non-airbag wheel with the 'S' in the middle is simply the one fitted to 93 - early/mid 94 R33's where the airbag wasn't standard.

Mine has the standard (for 95) drivers side airbag wheel (same boring one fitted to most other Nissans of that era), but the VIN comes up in FAST as being a type S model.

Also from what I've seen the dual mode muffler is fairly rare (at least here in NZ where R33's are pretty common), I would have thought that most people changing their exhausts would go for an aftermarket hi-flow item rather than the no-doubt quite expensive type S one? Also I'd assume that non-type S cars would require the wiring to be added for the muffler actuator in the boot, making it an expensive exercise?

gatty - type S specs listed here:

As far as I can tell the basic difference is that the type S has 200ps, whereas the 'normal' GTS25 has 190ps.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
