jsut wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between the R33 N/A and the Turbo. aiside from the fact one has a turbo and intercooler etc to run the turbo. do they have same brake discs, etc. also inside are they exactly the same essentially. panels and everything outside is the same aswell?

cheers. Mark

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 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
