Does the gts 4 sport the gtr drivetrain? now that would be a nice sleeper! For some reason i'm under the impression that they only came in a 4 door... true?

Same principle, different parts.

It is generally a big pain in the bum to convert a GTS to a GTST.

Converting a GTS4 to turbo would be equally if not more painful.

Blue GT badges means NA

If only it was that simple - my NA R33 GTS25 has red badges..... At the moment the most likely theory on the Blue badge/red badge thing that I know of is that Blue = Nissan Blue stage dealer in Japan, Red = red stage dealer. And red stage = performance stuff, blue = ordinary/family stuff. So by the looks of things all turbos were sold thru red stage dealers, and the odd GTS25 was sold thru them as well.

Getting back to the point, the R33 GTS4 came in 2 and 4 door form, though the 2 door seems pretty rare, have only ever seen a couple, 4 doors are a bit more common. They are essentially a GTS25 with 4wd running gear. GTR drivetrain - same bits but not as strong AFAIK, not sure what gearbox they use but I doubt it is the same as the GTR.

I've heard of people converting R33 GTS4's using the Stagea RS4 engine (making it a GTS25T-4?!) or going for the full noise GTR conversion using a RB26DETT.

Basically the R33 GTS4 was not designed to be a performance monster, more a 'Hokkaido spec' car - many JDM models came in a low volume 4wd form for use in snowy areas, eg Hokkaido.

ive got an R32 gts4 and it has the blue badges. As most people know, the R32's are turboed.does that make mine a family day trip car still?? i dont really know of any other R32gts4's around here so i dont know what badges are on them. i believe that the R33 gts4's arent turboed as it would be getting too similar to the 33GTR's... it would be 2.5L Vs 2.6L.....were as the R32's are 2.0L Vs 2.6L, fairly big jump. if that badge thing is true, then do you know what kinda performance stuff im missing out on??

Sorry, was just generalising on what kinds of cars the red stage/blue stage dealers sell - AFAIK red stage sold GTR/300ZX's/Luxo-barges and so on, whereas blue stage sold mostly Pulsars/Maximas etc.

But I think in practice you could purchase anything in the lineup from either dealer channel, just that one specialised in the high end and the other didn't.

So your car is probably the same as any other R32 GTS4, just that it was sourced thru a blue stage dealer for whatever reason.

However this applies to cars sold in the early/mid 90's, these days red stage and blue stage carry pretty much the same lineup, and I've heard that Nissan are doing away with the difference in branding and going to a single dealer identity.

And yes, I think there was an element of trying to differentiate the GTS4 from the GTR in the R33 model that left it with a non-turbo engine.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
