sorry guys, found an earlier thread that explains most of it...

( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=1693 )

can anybody tell me if the diff's are different, I know the brakes are too, what about the suspension?

It's just I found a sweet GTS-t but it's not a Type M and I'm wondering if I should hold out?

Ed, I'm not sure if the diffs are the same, but definately go for the Type-M... just for the brakes alone I'd get one.

With the spoilers... all options for both, so not all Type-M's have them.

cheers, so it's just the brakes really then?

Yeah, the Type M is really just: wider standard wheels, bigger brakes, and airbag/LSD/spoiler options... thats all the important stuff.

mine is supposedly a type M it has air bag instructions on the drivers sun shade, but a normal wheel.

are you saying you can get turbo r32's without a LSD?

I think they all have LSDs (they'd have to...) but the ones in the Type-Ms were different, or there was an option for a different one?

airbag on r32 type M?? Think you may be mixed up with r33.

Also, side skirts I dont think are standard on non-type M 32's

Oooookaaay... airbags WERE OPTIONS on HR32 Skyline GTS-t Type-M`s from 8/91 on.

Believe me, I don`t post stuff unless I triple check it.

Please guys, read the posts before replying. Just because you`ve never seen something, it doesn`t mean it doesn`t exist... especially on Japanese Imports!

So this makes my car a mongrel :(

Got all the type M gear minus skirts and a GTS 4 front bar (guessing accident by previous owner)

BTW has anyone ever seen a GTS-t with steelies (as mentioned in the link above)? Particularly amusing when the GTS non turbo has 4 stud alloys!

I don't think there were different brakes though. All 32GTS-t's that I've seen have the same 4 pot brakes unless they have been upgraded to R33 brakes or better by the owner. Though if the brakes have to fit behing steelies than I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

Im pretty sure my r32 is a Type M, it said on the auction report from Japan.

And it has the airbag warning label on the sunvisor, but my wheel has been changed to a sparco race wheel.

Williamc, the front brakes (4pot) are bigger than the rears, you can see 2 pistons from each side.

My car came without sideskirts and rear pods, pretty sure they were an option even on Type m.

all the R32's have the AIR BAG instructions on the visor but dont have an AIRBAG (bit dodgy) anyway my 32 has hicas,ABS and all the other shit including the HUGE ARSE brakes which failed. :D

STUPID ABS Crap

While on that topic anyone know how to remove the full ABS?????

Let me know

Hey Guys,

Got this from the book "The Sky is The Limit" ( Couldn't find the name of the author, so can't pay my respects :D ) Apparently taken from a Japanese Skyline sales brochure.

"The Type S is based on the GTS, and has alloy wheels, HICAS and the sport type steering wheel. The Type M is based on the GTS-t, and has 16x6.5 alloy wheels, HICAS, and the sport type steering wheel. The Type M, Type S and GTS-t have HICAS, the regular models don't."

"Options: Climate air conditioning, Electric front spoiler, Sunroof, Cruise control, Premium audio ( Kenwood / Alpine / AddZest), Rear spoiler, "Bug eye" headlights, Alloy wheels, Permium brake package."

Hope that helped!

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
