General Newbie Question on R33's

[IwantaSkyline]

Hi there all you lucky skyline owners!

I am hopeing to be just like you in the next few months, as most people do I been reading and reading as much as possible about the skyline, Im 99% of the model I want (94 r33 GTSt) but Im a little confused about the finer details.

Ive read the big thread about r33 models and I understand the main differences between series 1 and 2 r33's (the years, slight body, motor and interior differences ect..) However Im still a little cloudy on what the differences are between say a standard r33 gtst and a r44 gtst type M or and r33 with an M spec bodykit? How many little variations are there?????? (oh and if type m and m spec are the same thing I apolagize in advance for stupidity )

So far the only thing (I think) I know about this area is that cars Ive seen with "m spec" body kits have a tirm skirts ect.. thats a little more chunky than standard r33's other wise cannt see any other differences.

So guys any elaboration on this type s and M and mspec stuff would be greately appreiciated!

Thanks a Mill!!!

well apparently the s spec is the non turbo and the m spec is the turbo

my car was non turbo meaning it was s spec, now it has a turbo engine and pretty much every other gtst feature in it so its an sm spec..get me? haha sorry its late im going to bed

but yeah im not to sure really but thats what i have been told to believe

[Cake]

type s = non turbo

type m = turbo

a lot of people will say "type-m bodykit" theres no such thing, they think that the r33's with the 'chunkier' front bar and sometimes side skirts means its a 'type-m' or 'm-spec' but the front bar and side skirts are just nissan options. basically if you find any gts25t, both 1994 both manual for example, one has side skirts and meatier front bar, one has no kit at all, they're going to basically be exactly the same car mechanically, it's just a few interior/exterior mods or options that were chosen when the car was ordered.

and theres no such thing as m-spec, its just what some people call type-m, so basically its the same thing when u read it:)

boo5t, you are correct. oh and the r44, do you mean r34 here?

[CroatianR33]

I think he still meant r33 akeenan.

also you will find that some 94 models will have the series 2 spoiler (more common on the 95) as opposed to the round one from the series 1. personally i think these look better than the series 1 spoilers.

also, as perviously mentioned... yeah the type-m body kit that people try and sell to you saying its a special version and crap like that.. is crap... but that bodykit does make the car look nicer (another personal choice).

my 2 c.

Thanks Guys!

You did well............... told me exactely what I wanted to know, lol funny you should mention people trying to Bull**** you, a car yard up here listing 2 r33 skylines one "m spec" one not, both turboed ect... one just has the optional body kit, however the car yard claims that its special model and is charging a extra $1100, lmao

Thanks again guy yas were a great help!!!

the body kit is probably to hide the fact that it had a prang in japan.

unless its a tommy k or a gtr there is no "special" spoiler kit. Only a "special" bus for the dealer to catch to work each day.
