it also has bigger brakes, and i think it's got digital climate control,and it has an adjustable front spoiler. there have been a few threads on this, but no-one has a definant answer.

hard to tell, coz a lot of the stuff that was standard on the type m you could get as an option on the non-type-m

Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II R34

The GT-R V Spec II has the ATESSA E-TS PRO four-wheel drive system which integrates with the LSD, giving the computer control of side-to-side torque distribution as well as front to rear. This offers improved traction. Underneath the V Spec II, Nissan have fitted front and rear diffusers which work together to smooth airflow under the car, reducing lift and creating down-force. The rear diffuser is made of carbon-fibre and features a NACA duct to direct cooling air to the rear differential. The V Spec II also has a different 2-step tachometer which has finer graduations above 3,000rpm for more accurate readings.

Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II N1 R34

The GT-R V Spec II N1 is designed to be the basis of racing GT-Rs. It features different turbo chargers using metal rotors instead of ceramic, an engine oil cooler and larger diameter rear brakes. To save weight some items are removed including the rear wiper, rear fog lamps, the remote control entry system, air conditioning and the audio system (although the antenna and wiring harness remain). The centre console lid and parking brake lever are now trimmed in plastic rather than leather and the external mirrors are painted black. The N1 is only available in white with an unpainted lightweight carbon-fibre bonnet.

Nissan Skyline GT-R M-spec R34

Released in 2001, the M Spec is similar in specification to the V Spec II but with a few differences. These are mainly inside the cabin where the M Spec has a leather covered steering wheel and gear knob with gold stitching and heated leather seats. Other changes include an aluminium bonnet and revised suspension tuning. Like the V Spec II, the M Spec has the ATTESA E-TS PRO four wheel drive system, underbody aero package and a 2-step tachometer.

There was also R33 GTS Type G and Type X.

The Type G and Type X R33 had an RB20E Motor.

The Type S has an RB25E Motor.

The differences from a standard R33 GTS25t to a R33 GTS25t Type M were the Front bar and Side Skirts. There was no MSpec, MSpec was in the R34 Skyline model. :P

I'm sure I read somewhere on here that all GTS25t's were type M. The type M just denoted it was a turbo car. If you do a search, you'll find a lot of debate on whether there was a type-M and what extra features you got. All I know is mine has digital climate control, the lower front bar and viscous LSD.

Type M is a "Sports package" its basically just a car with a whole bunch of options as standard. Like "Sportivo" for Corolla.

GTSes got Type S

GTSt's got Type M

GTE's and sedans got Type G, J and X

The options given as standard varied from financial year to year, as seen in the catalogues. The few options that were offered thruout the run were Sports bodykits, sports spoilers, upgraded interior trim, Viscous LSD (or Active LSD), HICAS, and sports suspension.

Keep in mind there are regular factory cars which can have these options added to them which make them similar spec. Also you can add MORE options to the Type M package, like cup holders, sunroof, EL lightup panels, gold badges, glovebox refrigerators etc.

M-Spec however is totally different, there's an LM Spec as well in R33's, the commemoratory LeMans blue editions.

Funky, you seem to know alot about the extras you could get. Would you happen to know what the black box thing on the back shelf labeled "Puretron" is? Guesses so far are a de-ionizer or an air purefier of some kind.... thats my "warp engine" mentioned above... no one else i've spoken to has one.

When I first got my car, it had a rotating inlay on the indicator stalk, similar to the intermittent wiper 'rotating bit' on the wiper stalk. The one I'm refering to was like the indicator stalk was wearing a ring with 2 positions. I assume it was a Fog-light switch but I'm not too sure because it came with a non-standard bar and I have since replaced the whole stalk assembly (it just started to click and short out one day) to another set that was identical but without the fog-light thingy.

When I looked at another mates r33 gts-t he had the standard bar with the foggies, but when I looked closer I noticed that there was only a reflector behind the glass, and no bulbs. He didnt have the fog-light ring thing on his stalk :P

Hmm basically, all GTSt's and GTS25t's are Type-M, all GTS, GTS25 etc are Type-S.

Type-M denotes that the car is a turbo, Type-S that it is a non-turbo. Other extras may come with the Type-M (not sure) but I know for a fact that non-turbos are Type-S and turbos are Type-M.

Possibly the 'M' stands for 'Massive insurance' and the 'S' stands for 'Secondrate', not sure :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
