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.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
