Hey Guys,

I am sure this has been around before, but I gave up searching for it after 30 mins.

Can someone please tell me the difference between the standard and type M on the R32.

My understanding from maggala is;

- 4 piston brakes.

- bigger turbo (what is the turbo?)

- Stronger LSD (what is the LSD? Is it a 2 2way or anything like that?)

Does HICAS come on all 32's? Only Type M's? Or was it an option on any of them?

Thanks

Chris

Turbo is the same, Yes the larger 4 pot brakes, also 5 stud instead of 4 stud hubs.

Non type m is basically a gts with a turbo motor, so it has the gts suspension as well rather than the gtst suspension eg smaller sway bars etc.

I have an early non-type m and thats pretty much the case.. very small brakes.. but still LSD. Its pretty easy to upgrade the brakes to the 4 pot for pretty cheaply so its no real problem.

Mine has a different steering wheel (not too bad anyhow), no sideskirts, and also has the analogue climate control.

It has HICAS, and I believe if its an R32 of any type, it came with HICAS.

The Type M was the GTS-t marketed at buyers who wanted a GTR but couldn't foot the bill.

Hence it had:

- the GTR style (but narrower) wheels

- 4 spot brakes

- digital climate

- GTR style steering wheel

AFAIK all the GTS-t's has HICAS & Viscous LSD whether they were M's or not

The GTS Type S is the non-turbo equivalent to the Type M

I've got an early 4dr Type M with the extra options of ABS, driving lights, projector headlights & electric front spoiler

r32s with HICAS: gts type s, gts-t, gts-t type m, gts-4 and gtr

gtst has power steering powered system... gts4 and gtr have hydraulic system

download "the sky is the limit" pdf on meggala, this is where i got the above

the GTR style (but narrower) wheels

Thats not true, as I have the "GTR" style wheels and mine is non m-spec.. basically every turbo skyline i have seen has the 5 spoke jobbies.. I have seen them in diagrams with flat style riims, but never seen them over here I don't think.

You have Type M wheels. Mine came with R33 wheels when I bought it, doesn't mean it had them from the factory though :D

Almost (I repeat almost, not all) all R32's imported to Oz will be Type M's (or modified to be like M's). Actually, I think that Type Ms outsold the basic GTS-t when they were new. Funky could prob clear this up for us.

rrrage, whats the diff between powersteering (hydraulic) powerd HICAS & hydraulic? Does the GTR/GTS-4 have a separate system/reservoir? I know that in the GTS-t the HICAS runs off the reservoir in the engine bay... My knowledge of GTR's suck teh arse :P

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
