As far as my records show, the '89 GT-R (as you call it - the specification didn't change from 08/89 to 02/93 actually), and the '93-'94 GT-R (not V-Spec/V-Spec II) only differ in that the '93-'94's had an air-bag as an option, along with the White and Greyish Blue Metallic colour option for the '93, and '94, except the '94 dropped the Greyish Blue.

Now, your just talking about the plain-old;) GT-R aren't you? Not the V-Specs right?

As for the GTS-T Type M:

The 05/89 - 07/91's offered just the basic colour line up from the Skyline range, your reds, your blues, your silvers, your blacks (most popular) your dark greens, and your whites. It weighed 1260kg MT, 1280kg AT. Sunroof's were an option, as was air-con, so it's a mixed bag on what you'll get. Now, the big one: THE '89 - '91 Type M CAME WITH FRONT AND REAR STABILIZERS AS STANDARD.

The 08/91 - 10/92, and the 11/92 - 07/93 Type M don't differ too greatly except for some stupid colour differences that I cant be bothered pointing out, but the main things are: these cars are heavier than the '89, 1320kg MT and 1340kg AT, and that these cars didn't have front and rear stabilizers as standard.

So, to answer your question, No, there aren't any big differences between the model years, except for the '89 - '91 Type M with the stabilizers (thats why I got an '89 over a '90). But, obviously the GT-R's and the V-Specs are different, as is the GTS-T to the Type M.

i'd say dont waste your time, but im a naysayer and believe the ruling on 15yrold cars will change soon.

i also think that this will be the case. either now, or possibly early Jan 04 is when i think it will happen.

does anybody know whether this is actually true?? or are you just naysaying 'cause you can? :D

so you're saying the stabalisers add an extra 40kg ? Which stablisers are you talking? anything special, or just your external stabliser bars.. able to be welded on for a few $100 ??

Listen you lot, stick your heads under a '89 and a '92 Type M and see for yourselves...

I didn't say the stabilizers add 40kgs... you did. I pointed out the difference in weight between the two. And there is a difference, if you'd be so kind as to weigh them for us.:rolleyes:

If you guys are scratching your heads so much as to why there is a weight descrepancy, THINK ABOUT THE SIDE-INTRUSION BARS IN THE '92 MODEL... THINK ABOUT THE STANDARD AIR-CON IN THE '92 MODEL... Think about all the miriad little things that go into making an 80's car compliant in the 90's... I'm not gonna sit here and divulge all those little things so you lot can just shrug it off and say "he could be talking out his arse".

And another thing, they call 'em stabilizers here, so thats what I meant. I didn't mean "swaybar".

I wanna hotlink Car Sensors Type M page here to prove the stabilizer thing but I can't, it's all protected. Besides it's in Japanese...

I think predator was actually talking about the 15 yr rule when he made the naysaying comment :rofl:

yer yer.. i was just enquiring actually as to whether the extra weight was due to the swaybars or something else.. not questioning whether there was a weight difference!

and i was asking whether there was any evidence to suggest the government will change the 15 year rule within the next 6-12 months..

kor_gtr32 seems to be asking whether there was any obvious differences in regards to the engine, body or interior.. but it doesn't seem there is enough for it to be a significant difference .. case closed

lol at Roy.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
