I've got a R33 S1 GTST with red badges.

I thought that the red ment turbo and the blue was N/A maybe it is, GTS4 are N/A so that is why they have blue badges. I'm sure Nissan never released a turbo GTS4 because it would compete to much with the GTR. ?

The 32's were the only turbo GTS4 that came out the 33 was n/a

gotta love that turbo aWD power and by the way trust me i went up against me mates 32 GTR and for about 2secs we were neck and neck and then goodnight for me so the 32 GTS4 is no comparison to the GTR

just my 2c

The Prince Skyline in 1964 before merging with Nissan was developed for races, they mass produced two cars in the S54 series that was modeled after the cars they developed for race use.

Both cars got a 1988cc SOHC inline-6 engine however the GT-A got a single carburetor and 105hp. The GT-B (More commonly known as the Classic 2000GT) got a 5-speed close ratio gearbox, full instrumentation, a limited slip differential, power brakes, a 99 liter fuel tank and a high compression version of the G7 with triple 40DCOE-18 Weber carburetors and 125hp.

But they both looked very similar, so how did Prince set them apart... yup... badges.

When the time came to pick which car Prince would send to represent it in the GT cicuits, the GT-B was picked, so it got the Red GT badge (as with any car that is built as the minimum 500 sold to public to qualify entry into a GT racing class). The GT-A in itself was an impressive machine and while lower spec than a GT-B pretty powerful in its own right. To show its heritage and its racing association, it got a Blue GT badge.

So now you know where the Skylines red and blue badges originate from.

I was told that any car in the Skyline range after that series that is built as a sports car (like the GT-B) recieves a red badge, and any car built for general use (such as a 4 door or a N/A) recieves a blue GT badge, keeping with the tradition from 1964.

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 😉
