the standard front bar is different from the type m moddle but this would be easy changed as well. the only real way you can tell is from the bigger brakes.

Rezz: im pretty sure that most r32s come with the four pot fronts and twins rear. the GTS had smaller the GTS-t had fours and the type m has slightly larger rotors but the same size caliper. GTR caliper is bigger again.

There's nothing unique about the Type M other than the sticker on the back.

You take an R32 GTSt, it has optional upgrades available when you buy it new from the showroom, like a sports bumper, sideskirts, bigger brakes, alloy wheels etc.

You take these optional upgrades, then bundle em into a package, and offer it to customers for slightly less than what it'd cost to get em all seperately.

Now you're gonna need a name for this package... and you can't call it "OMGWTFLOL" coz no one wants to drive an "R32 GTSt OMGWTFLOL", so you call it something sporty... you call it a "Type M"... so generations of people who consequently buy the cars run around thinking they have some special car called the "R32 GTSt Type M" when all they have is a base model with a handful of factory extras... all of which are available on the base model.

You also get to sit back and chuckle in amusement as the occasional village idiot then starts calling his "R32 GTSt Type M" a "M Spec R32 GTSt".

how many r32's came with ABS?

R32 GTS4's and GTR's came standard with em, unless you requested not to get it from the factory. All the others had em optional after late 1989.

No, the car in your avatar has the 'standard' front bumper and that particular front bumper was standard across the entire range of R32s (except GT-R). There was an 'aero bumper' which could be ordered alone or as a kit as in the picture below:

^^^ This bumper was OPTIONAL. It's called the 'aero bumper'.

No, the GTS-t (base model turbo) had 2-pot front brake calipers similar (maybe the same?) to the GTS N/A versions. I don't know the diameter of the disks as I've only ever seen one GTS-t (not Type M) in the last 6 years... ALL other R32 turbos I've seen have been Type Ms.

Ok, you're right saying most R32s came with 4-pot bakes, simply because most R32s imported into Australia have been Type Ms! Trust me on this, I lived in Japan for a long time and questioned many local Japanese people about this very subject over the years.

And the EXACT same car as the GTS-t Type M minus turbo is the GTS Type J

and I belive there was a 3rd bumper style for GTS's as I own it.

GTS Type S is the coupe.

Type G and Type J were sedans I think. I should scan and translate those sales brochures one of these days...

plus they only did type M from '91 onwards the normal gts-t was 89 - 90 although a type m was available.

that sentence doesn't make sense mate. if they only made Type M from 91 onward then how can you own one? how can I own one for that matter? Mine is a 90 model and pretty sure I've seen 89 model type Ms too.

Hello,

*im logged in on my mates account, so if this is a stupid question apologies to him*

Would a R33 Type M have these same differences?

Is there anything else that would be different between a GTS-T and a TYPE M in a series 2 R33?

Thanks for any info.

BillyE.

Apparently all turbo R33 coupes are called Type-Ms. IMHO

I think he meant that they dropped the regular GTS-t (non-Type M) from '91 onwards Richard. Before '91 the GTS-t and Type M were sold in unison, after '91 they only sold Type Ms.

xRHETTx: You're right mate, ALL R33 turbo's are Type Ms.

... isn't it great that no ones mentioned 'M Spec'? Such a small thing but extremely irritating lol

You're saying my Nismo R32 Gtst M spec Nur Spec V-spec II Z-tune 40th anniversary edition isn't real?

I swear its real, some guy on the internet told me! :D

I swear its real, some guy on the internet told me! :huh:

dont they have the stroked RB39 and 12 turbos ?, i also heard you can drive them underwater !

no that's the 100th anniversary edition... the 40th only flies up to an altitude of 1000kms above sea level.

sorry i haddent checked this thread for a while and was interested to see the topic.

not trying to be argumentative but i wasnt refering to the 32 in my avitar. im quite aware thats a standard bar and i didnt refer to it either.

i thought that that "aero bumper" was a type M because i have only ever seen it on GTS4s or 32s with the whole kit. but i gess that doesnt realy make sence. i just thought it was rare so it had to be type M.

also the type M has the bigger brakes as all the brake guides say. try buying new rotors they ask you for the size as there is like 4 to chose from. type M being the bigest before GTR then you get V spec and so on. basicly ive rearly seen any of the type m rotors so if your saying most of the r32s imported to aus are type M where are the Big Brakes?

but i could be wrong as i have been befor and im sure i will be again soon.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
