M-Spec are in R33 too,

i had one myself. 1996 models onwards, as far as i know it was mainly the front lip, side skirts and rear bar which was different. Also newer interior etc but that was more to the fact it was a series 2 upgrade as opposed to M-Spec.

r33 gts-t are type M, not M spec. it's just that 90% of people don't know this so just refer to them as M spec.

as for what it means, it means jack all in the r33 range. pretty much every gts-t r33 is a type M, except for a rare 4 door auto gts-t which is a type G or something like that.

in the r32 gts-t the type M meant bigger brakes and leather gear boot and handbrake boot, or something like that. but even then, most of them were type M as well.

pretty sure that more comes down to the options chosen. front and rear bars don't mean much as they can easily be replaced. my type M didn't have the more aggressive front bar on it because it had been damaged and it had just had the non turbo front bar put on it.

M-Spec refers to the R34 GTR M-Spec / M-Spec Nur.

Never heard of a M-Spec in the R33 range, as far as I know.

LOL sorry but this is wrong. M (Motorsport) Spec was released on r32, r33 and r34 single turbo skylines. My R32 is M Spec :D 33s and 34s changed it slightly to Type M.

Not everything in those factory specs is 100% correct.

For example, they list the "standard features" (in my eyes, every car has regardless) as having fog lamps. Mine does not. It has the switch for them, but it has the GTR style OEM front end on it without the space for fog lamps.

Type M it is.

M-Spec = R34 GTR variants.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
