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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
