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.

mines type S and has blue/white badges

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.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
