well stronger internals, stronger gear box, lower compression clutch plate also superior, also the brakes are alot better. i dont think the interior would be much different. but apart from all that

the GT badges are red and white for turbo and green and white for non turbo :)

brakes definately are different... (unsure about gts4)

GTST: 4pot front, twin pot rears - with the NISSAN on the calipers.

GTS: ugly black things :( I dunno what they are - will let you guys know when i do the brake upgrade.

my gts has red gt badges (type-s standard)

and DaGr81 is fairly correct with the other stuff ^^^

Obvious one - tacho assy is different due to no boost gauge......

Yup, red/white badges for Type S NA's, blue/white for non-type S.

Front brakes have 2 pot calipers, rear is single pot for NA, I think the master cylinder is different as well due to the different pot volume. R33 GTS4 uses the same brake setup as the GTS/GTS25.

mines type S and has blue/white badges

lots of topics on this - use the search mate :D

basically:

brakes are better on GTSt

internals are stronger on GTSt

gearbox is stronger on GTSt

better injectors on GTSt

dash is slightly different

wheel hub is 4 stud on NA and 5 stud for GTSt

different exhaust setup due to turbo on GTSt

different ECU

better stock clutch in GTSt

thats about it i think i may have missed somehting though

Non turbo has 4 wheel studs per wheel compared to 5 on the turbo standard rims on turbo are 16" and 15" on non turbo, brakes are a definite difference, just did mine but they are ABS. Final drive ratio (diff) is also different marginally and not always LSD on N/A, the gear box I'm not sure as mine has the same number on the manaufacture plate as a turbo model. Both have HiCas.

Bah, just when I thought I'd got that one figured out.... I'll fall back to my previous theory then - red badge = sold thru Nissan red stage dealer, blue = blue stage dealer. From what a friend in Japan has told me red stage = performance stuff and blue stage = family/smaller car stuff.

hmm... mine is an NA and has red and white GT badges... also has RB25DET sticker under bonnet..... but is def NA

What does it say on the VIN plate - RB25DET or RB25DE? Where is the sticker you refer to?

mines blue and it aint exactly a family car?

Err, by family car I meant they sell cars like the Maxima, Sunny, Pulsar etc as well, I guess the NA Skylines are the top of the 'family friendly' cars?

I've got blue badges...but my car was sold by the Prince Nissan Dealership?????

I'm not sure where the Prince dealership chains fit with the Blue stage/Red stage thing.

Anyway, tis just a theory....

it could just be a possibility that the previous owner did not like the red badges and

threw on the blue to be more realistic...

blue badges are quite cool though - very rare.

Tehehe, in NZ blue badges on R33's are common as dirt, probably because there seem to be a heap of 2L GTS models around at the moment, they out-number the GTS25T's by probably 3 to 1! And GTS25's by about 100 to 1....

Yeah I prefer the blue, considering my car is blue as well it's looks good :cheers:

I used to get people staring at it funny though, cause I had blue badges, N/A exhaust, no gauges, yet they could hear the turbo :)...the Big front mount gives it away now though.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
