ive heard of a limited run (like 150 or so supposedely RARE AS!) of the r32 gtst or i think they also called it the gtsm about the same time the r32 gtr v spec 2 was released...

i think it came with the same body as the gtr (as in it had pumped guards)

now i always thought the mspec range was just cosmetic differences....

but they say this particular model came with a mspec2 2 rb20det engine... it had higher compression and a different turbo?

they say the engine is distinguishable by not having rb20 printed on the engine cover...

u know how the rb series have rb20, rb25 etc on the front of the engine, well this one is just blank...

i think it also came with bigger brakes..

can anyone confirm this???

ive searched everywhere and cant find much at all....

thanks..

When the R32 V-Spec II came out in 1994 there were no R32 GTS-t's only R33 GTS, GTS-25 and so on.

Series 2 R32 GTS-t and GTS-4 did come with a RB20DET that no longer had RB20 on the cam cover, also the coil packs were different, other then that the engine is nearly identical to Series 1.

All non GTR R32's were discontinued after 1993 when the R33 chassis replaced it.

The only M-Spec I know of is the R34 GTR named for the LeMans cars.

There is a series 1 and 2 in r32 gts-t.

There is also a thing called a Type-M.

So you are referring to a series 2 Type-M. The engine is pretty much exactly the same (if not identical)

The biggest difference between Type-M and non-Type-M is that they have the bigger 4 piston brakes, leather gear know, gear boot and steering wheel.

All of the "other" Type-M things (sunroof, bodykit, upgrade interior, front lip) are options available on both Type-M and non-Type-M skylines.

The biggest difference between series 1 and series 2 is that series 1 has blue dials and series 2 has grey dials.

All Series II GTS-t's are type-M, All GTS-4's series I and II are type-M. All of them have the bigger brakes, alloy wheels.

I can't recall which ones have which, but series I and series II coils differ in the fact that the contact point is a spring on one and a solid piece on the other.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
