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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.

      My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
