wtf an R32 M Spec?

Ground rules...

Only "M Spec" to ever come out in a post 1989 Skyline is an R34 GTR M Spec.

R32 GTSt's and R33 GTS25t's came in a "Type M"

A "Type M" is a factory package bundle. The package deal changes from year to year and some dealers included extra options in the package deal. So for example if you bought a Type M from Nissan, you'd usually get 16" rims, a "sports" bodykit and a bill for 100,000 Yen more than a regular GTSt.

All items available standard on a Type M are available as factory option upgrades on base models.

But i will give you a hand - the only thing that they all seem to have in common is the bigger brakes.

All other extra bits and pieces are just options, and should not be used to tell if a car is a type-m or not. The only way to know for certain is to put the VIN into FAST (can get someone to do this on the forum here)

...looking at the picture in your avatar, you have a type-m .. assuming it's your car... standard 32gtst's are pretty rare..

As xRhettx has already pointed out the front breaks are four-pot's on the type M's and two-pots ( I think?) on the standard gtst's.

other things to look for are sideskirts, frontbar, rims, leather steering wheel, climate control... there's a shitload of extra's... as far as I know the parking guide (thing that goes up or down) is also an extra on both cars..

your intercooler should be located (facing the car) on the inside of the right hand side of the frontbar.. if you follow the piping from the airbox you will find it alright...

Mine is a type-m , it has the big brakes, climate control and thats it... no side skirts, abs or aero kit.

Get the vin no and do a search for FAST on the forums, post in the FAST thread and they can look your car up for you and find out all sorts of cool stuff...if you ask nicely.

Here's a little guide as what the differences were. check out the pic attached.

aside from the brakes being different. the standard GTS-t didn't come with electronic climate control, or the GT-R steering wheel. and there were minor trim differences.

there were a couple of body kit options available for the r32 GTS-t. the so-called Type-M front bar with the more squared off look was actually an option offered to customers as well as the side skirts. projector headlights were also seen as an option so you'd sometimes also see R32 GTR's even with the non projector headlights.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
