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.

    • Hello everyone, I'm glad to join you.
    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
