how can you tell if it is type M or not??????

what are the tell tale signs???

the only thing i know is that type m has a back windscreen wiper

are you sure about the windscreen wiper thing?

Type M's have a LSD, slightly larger brakes which have like cooling fins on them. Sideskirts and a different front bar.

My thoughts are Type Ms are a figment of everybody's imagination.

If its turbo its Type M. I am yet to see a Turbo v Type M that doesnt have the same 4pot fronts brakes with the same size rotors, the same twin pot rears. I have been told mine is a Type M becuase of my kit, others tell me its not a Type M as i dont have the automatic front spoiler lip, i dont have ABS yet i have seen Type Ms with and without ABS (owners/dealers claims)...i would love to know for sure...perhaps that Nissan software floating around SAU somewhere will tell you if you throw in the car details.

well said.

the general talk on these forums is that type M generally has:

- 4 pot front and 2 pot rear brakes

- rear wiper

- different steering wheel (GTR-style)

- LSD

but almost everything was an option in japan so who knows??

as far as i am concerned as long as the car has 4-pot front and 2-pot rears then i don't car about the rest as that's the real advantage of the type M R32gtst, if it at all exists as Roy suggests...

Good find Skyline_Boy. Well ill eat my words.

My car came with aftermarket steering wheel, and in the pictures they both seem to have rear windscreen wipers....were rear spoilers an option on all?

Meh as long as the differences are onbly cosmetic then it dotn really bother me. My car has a viscous diff.... is the Type M to GTST diff different...how?

Can you increase the res of that pic or link to it somewhere? Bit hard to see inside the cabin, etc. It'll be in the Japanese writing there to the side I'd say.

Its a weird one, because a) 99% of skylines I have seen have the rear spoiler or its been purposely removed

B) those rims I've never really seen on an R32, either over in japan or elsewhere??? most have the usual 5 spoke jobbies.. Those rims almost look like the HR31 rims that I had for a bit.

Nissan brought out Type M's and Type S's for people who wanted to have a car as close as it got to a GTR without being a GTR. so it scored rims, steering wheel, sway bars and rear wing in some cases. HICAS was optional on all models so that's not really something to go by. I think with the Type M's and S's you got some optional stuff like CD player as a stock part.

Also there's differences in the 1989 Type M's and the 1991 Type M's.

got this info from meggala (oh mightiest of lords of all things NISSAN):

Type M turbo bigger 4 spot brakes LSD strong transmission

Type S non turbo higher trim level alloy wheels sunroof

Type J non turbo normal trim non alloy wheels no sunroof

through my own research as well ive found that yes the body kit is quite a bit different larger side skirts and front bar, ive seen some 'non type-M's' and they can look abit ugly if nothing's been done to the body

Mine has the lower grade fabric, but all 89's I've seen (not all necessarily, but the ones I've seen have this) but has:

- HICAS, ABS, 4 spotters, finned alloy cover LSD

- GTR style wheel, digital climate, premium sound system (well, it's a bit more 'premium' now)

- Electric front spoiler, projector headlights, factory body coloured wheel arch extensions (sort of like mud flaps), driving lights (removed), rear wiper.

I always assumed my car was an M but it seem a little cloudy as to what makes an M.

In the end its still worth the same so meh...

- HICAS, ABS, 4 spotters, finned alloy cover LSD - i would agree with this,

- GTR style wheel, digital climate, premium sound system - gtst's and gtr's share the same mags

man i dont even now waht a front spoiler i though :)

im pretty sure the "pods" are a big thing though (being only on better models)

but this is only through my experience (though i had to look at a $#@#! load of cars before getting mine) which is a type m, its in the gallery

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
