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’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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)
