My 2 cents... Sounds like someone making up another model. Like on carsales once i saw a R32 GTS-T 92 model was a basic standard M spec car.

Advertised as "R32 Turbo SE (special edition)"

I laughed when the guy, he explained it was one of 100 cars ever build when i went to have a look at it.

All R33 GTS25Ts are Type-Ms

However Spec 2s (otherwise known as Series 2) versions kicked in from 1996 production cars onwards. There were some 1995 produced cars with some of the Spec 2 features, which are colloquially known as 'Series 1.5.'

The following thread contains a discussion about the differences.

We are looking at a couple of cars at auction in Japan , and it does say SPEC 2 on the detail sheet.

LSD's standard in all 96-98 cars ? , what about rear wipers do all R33's have them ?

Thanks for answers so far . Brad

Not all of the 33's are type M's. My friend had a 33 Gts25t that wasnt a type M.

That's the first I've heard of that.. well there was a GTS25t type G, but that was a sedan. All the model info on the net and on SAU doesn't seem to indicate otherwise for the GTS25t.

LSDs are standard in the Spec 2s. Some have the 'Active-LSD' which is similar to the diff from V-Spec GTRs, you can tell if it's one of them because the dash cluster will also have two lights for 'slip' and 'traction control' (something like that anyway).

Rear wipers are optional on any model Skyline.

yes they are referred to as gts25t.

any manual turbo 33 is type m.

and there were a few limited edition skylines made. they started doing them with the old DR30 skylines. a mate of mine has one. they came out with no stereo, and not much sound proofing. they are basically a race model. i have a HPI mag somewhere that talks about them. it is in a article about buying a skyline and says that they are so rare they aren't worth mentioning, as most were bought and used for race cars. i'm going to try to find the article and scan it.

Captain Obvious would like you to know that there is a sticky thread at the top of this section which has a link to details on where you can get all the model specific info you need.

any manual turbo 33 is type m.

So..... what about the automatic ones? (Which were also sold as Type M?)

Going by the "all turbo manuals are Type M" theory, there would be no such thing as a 33 GTR.

All turbo R33 GTS-t's are type M. It really is as simple as that.

If someone can give me the vin number of the guy's car that supposedly isn't a type-M i will send him a screenshot from FAST indicating that indeed it is. If I am wrong then I apologise but i'm pretty damn sure.

What is he basing the not a type-M call on? Unless it came from the factory with a non-turbo engine and had a turbo engine dropped in....

Preaching to the choir.. :D

Type M came in manual and auto, and as you can see, the post I quoted stated that "any manual turbo 33 is type m"

.. which to an uneducated reader (yes, there are a few around) would assume by that comment that the Type M was only available with a manual transmission, and (engine capacity aside) this would make the GT-R (which is manual & turbo) Type M also.

I suppose I was looking for an explaination of the posters thoughts in regards to the automatic Type M's?

Perhaps the comment was based on the assumption that the "M" in "Type M" means that it has a manual transmission? :)

hi, just wanted to know what the difference between an mspec s2 33 and the normal one.

reason being i went to chek out a 33 today but the guy said mspecs only come with side skirts and rear pods? i remember they had a different front bar?

Just as the guy said... the normal Series II Mspec does not have the side skirts and rear pods, the front bar is the same across the board though. There is an aftermarket Mspec front lip too but it does not come as standard on the Mspec version.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
