Looking at buying a R32GTSt shortly.

There are a few models i have seen and would like to know more about them

I know the last of the 32's came out with a RB25. Do they have the bigger 5 speed box's like the 33's?

what other changes does this model have? How much more would you expect to pay for one, both cars condition being equal?

What is an M spec, how does this differ from standard?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

Actually all gtst's came with 5 studs but the main differences with a TRUE M-Spec is the car has side and rear skirts as well as a slightly different bumper, it also has different trim plastic inside and the dash vinyl is also different. There is aparently over 200 differences on the Type M acording to the Japanese NEW CAR catalogue.

I'm not too sure about the side and rear skirts. I did *a lot* of research into what was a Type-M before I got my car and side skirts and rear pods don't seem to be a determining factor.

Take a look at the attached pic - its a good guide to what is a Type-M

I actually had the original 1992 Nissan Skyline brochure from Japan totally in Japanese of course and a friend read some of it to me. It was quite detailed about the differences and did include what I mentioned above I just can't remember the others.

A point to remember is that there were some minor changes to the general line up during the production period so a 1990 Type-M may be a totally different car to the 92 Type-M My comment was based on the 92 onward R32 Gts-t Type M.

interesting. As my 1993 Type-M (and it has been confirmed as a Type-M) doesn't have side skirts or rear skirts.

it is hard to tell by side skirts and wheels, as these parts can simply be changed over, , deorbit, your car might have had some but were cracked and taken off, or previous owner just didnt like them etc..

yeh you might be right there. The one thing that is sure to be a Type-M is to look for the 4pot brakes if the 16" GTR type mags have been replaced by aftermarket rims.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
