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 The one thing that is sure to be a Type-M is to look for the 4pot brakes if the 16" GTR type mags have been replaced by aftermarket rims.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
