I don't think there is a difference, there are so many slight differences and options just buy a car on face value and forget using "M-Spec" as a wank job.

I've heard that M-Spec is body kit and ABS, or something like that. My car has ABS and no body kit - so is that half M-spec? who cares! I have ABS and I don't scrape the shit out of every driveway i go up. Good enough for me!

A. Its Type M, not m spec.

B. Type M have larger sideskirts and fatter front bar.

C. They were an option accorss S1 and S2. My S1 turbo has a pueny little non type-m front bar. (like 2rismo)

  • Like 1
from what I understand all turboed 33s were Type M (not Mspec oops )and NA werent and the options are cosmetic options on all types

i'm going with this answer. i believe passenger airbags were an option too - is this type M or not? too confusing! who cares!

As far as I am aware the Type M, post R32, was a cosmetic package. However within the R32 range non Type M vehicles did not receive the big Sumitomo 4 pot front calipers or 2 pot rears; rather they received the floating items as per the non turbo models.

Hi guys,

Just picked up my 1993 R33 gtst and was wondering if there was a way i can tell if it is a type m?

The car has hicas - not sure if this was on all the models

I did a search but couldnt find any info

Cheers

all manual turbo gts-ts are type m. most of the auto's are, but some are type g (auto sedan only).

my s1 is a type m but doesn't have side skirts, rear pods, or the beefy front bar.

where people with series 2 go wrong calling them mspecs is because there was 2 options. type m spec 1, and typme m spec 2. they just leave the "type" off the front.

the only way to check if it is a type m is with the nissan fast program.

the mspec comes wid bigger brakes, stronger suspension, sports interior rather then cloth, different bodykit.

edit: forgot it comes with sunroof too :laugh: i can tell u this coz i got one :P

i see alot of here-say by everyone, where is ur proof of the limit of extras. from what im gathering its a more sportier model with alot of extra check boxes u can tick :D..

but mechanically what are all the differences.. and what is this nissan fast program.. im sure theres gotta be some info somewhere in japanese.. wish i could read japanese!!.

i have a gts25t type M. 94 R33.

I think the Type M business is just a pile off BS myself. 1 of the first comments made on this thread was that Type M is an options list with various features that you could add on to your R33 & from what I've seen I tend to agree.

My own car (97 GTS25T coupe) has:

Rear wiper

Hicas

Rear strut brace

Sumitomo Brake package (4 pot front 2 pot rear)

Dual Airbags (STANDARD from 96 onwards, optional beforehand)

How ever it did not come with:

Body kit

ABS

I have seen all soughts of variations on this (I searched for 6 months before I bought mine) some are almost the complete opposite of my own with the kit & ABS, but no HICAS, rear wiper or strut bar.

All series 2 GTS-series front bars are exactly the same unlike series 1, however you could add on the Type M front bar lip from the factory too. I don't know where the concept of a type M front bar came from for series 2's, it's bogus.

All turbo coupes as far as I know had the Sumitomo brake package standard. I have only ever seen a turbo sedan without it that was a GTS-4 & it may not have even originally had a turbo fitted.

I know, I know, old thread... meh :P

Can anybody tell me what my car is? It's an 1994 R33 GTS Series 1 (i believe...) with the following:

- Non-turbo

- manual

- Type M front bar and spoiler

- 2 pot front brakes, single pot rears

- 5 stud wheels

- LSD (not A-LSD though)

- no light-up SKYLINE garnish under the boot, but it is not body coloured either

- ABS

- HICAS

- no airbags

- rear wiper

- no sunroof

Sorry I only have a couple of photos... my car is in the panel shop after an unfortunate collision with a Kangaroo (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...0&p=2773000) and these are the only ones i have.

Series 1 GTS with a 5 stud conversion...?

I'm really not sure... Someone mentioned that the Type M stuff was only on the turbos...

Once I get my car back from the panel shop I'm going to look it up on FAST and see what it was when it was made.

Its not hard to change front bars and wings....once you get into things like brakes etc its not as cheap/easy...and you wouldn't downgrade on things like those....so i'd say its a GTS with a 5 stud conversion and some cosmetic changes...

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
