Front brake pads GTS25

[Aitch]

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.

Many R33's have the dual mode muffler fitted by owners who want the preformance but don't want too much noise. It's not the best indicator therefore. Check the steering wheel, should be sports verasion.

my wheel is black - no airbag of course and has the little 'S' form the fornt in the middle - i thought all wer elike this - is this the standard one?

[Aitch]

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.
