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.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
