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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
