ECR33 questions about "Type M" / ENR33/HR33/ER33 types

Hi,

===== Question 1 =====

I have some questions about ECR33s and if they are all Type M or not if the GRADE in FAST is GTS25T/M.

Basically there's 4 series I'll refer to as series 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 with numbers of

Series 1    ECR33-000151    ECR33-032xxx
Series 1.5    ECR33-050101    ECR33-063xxx
Series 2    ECR33-101001    ECR33-114xxx
Series 2.5    ECR33-130101    ECR33-135xxx

(excluding pre-production ranges)

So All series 2 and 2.5 are all Type M I'm told (most, but not all of 2.5 are 40th anniversary editions).

Anyway, regarding series 1 and series 1.5

In FAST the GRADE is always listed as GTS25T/M. 

However, in the series 1.5 range there is a model code for Type M. If the 16th digit is J or K, it is coded as "Type M" or "Type M with rear spoiler". This applies to about 20% of the cars.

From reading around many people say all are Type M. So does anyone know why it is coded into the model code in series 1.5? Does it mean that series 1 + 80% of series 1.5 are just GTS25t and 20% of series 1.5 + 2 + 2.5 are GTS25t Type M or are they all Type Ms?

I've looked through auction results and found cars that look identical but are coded differently:

http://exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=98JyzhcUaYku3vd > coded type M in FAST
http://exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=4wboBIL1bBWR4 > not coded Type M in FAST

Basically I'm trying to find out what the code means and why it is applied to some cars and not others.

===== Question 2 =====

Are these the only types of ECR33s?

GTS25 Type S
GTS25t Type M
GTS25t Type M 40th Anniversary
GTS25t Type M Active LSD
GTS25t Type M1 4 door
GTS25t Type M2 2 door
GTS25t Type M2 4 door

===== Question 3 =====

Are these the only types of ENR33s?

GTS-4
GTS-4 40th Anniversary
GTS-4 Type G
GTS-4 Type X

===== Question 4 =====

Are these the only types of ER33s?

GTS25
GTS25 Type G
GTS25 Type S
GTS25 Type S/S
GTS25 Type X
GTS25 Type X Limited
GTS25 Type XG
GTS25 Urban Runner S
GTS25t Type G
GTS25t Type S

===== Question 5 =====

Are these the only types of HR33s?

GTS
GTS Type G
GTS Type S
GTS Type X
GTS Type X 40th Anniversary
GTS Type X Limited
GTS Urban Runner S

I've done quite a bit of searching and reading but thought I should also check here. 

Thanks very much.

Since I assume it was done 'aftermarket' to production there is no reference in the notes to it, and therefore don't have access to any VIN information about which cars were transformed in to 280 type MR.... imo.

Thanks. I will get around to adding this as a special model one day. I just checked in FAST and there's nothing different as a listing so no way I'll be able to work out the other 2.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
