Hi all,

I've had a couple of skylines over the last 3 years and I purchased a very clean R32 GTST a few months back which I am currently selling at the moment as I take delivery of a work car next month.

A quick question for those of you knowledgable in the M-Spec area. (as I am not)

The R32 I own has a full M-spc body kit (side skirts, front bar, spoiler etc)

How do I tell if it is an M-spec?? Are there other extras that will determine if it is?

At the moment I have advertised it as an R32 GTST with an M-Spec body kit but am I selling myself short?? It won't effect the price I want for it but it would be a nice point of reference if it was indeed an M-Spec.

Please do a search in future before you ask a question, this has been covered at least 3 times this week already!

There is also no such thing as a r32 spec-M or M-spec, it is called a Type-M. That will help with your search. Also, look for a thread with FAST in the title, if you supply ur vin number someone will look up ur exact car for its basic details.

3 times this week hey?? Tell me where because I can't find any post answering my question. There are lots of people selling cars with that description and talking about bits and pieces but before you pay out on me how about you do some research and see if the question has been answered? as I already did.

My VIN number is not is nissan FAST either and upon enquiring at Nissan I was told that not all VIN numbers are registered

You post a thread that outlines exactly what defines an Spec M/ M spec and I will eat my words. If not how about you leave your post whoring about research to frequent threads asking "what turbo should I get?" or "Is a front mount worth it?"

Or one of your threads asking about "Aftermarket Boost Gauges" on the 29/4/05

Now there is a topic that comes up every week.

there is too many conflicting thoughts on what and what isn't a type m..

I have what I think is a genuine "non type-m" but half the stuff of what people says defines a non type-m is not even true..

anyhow, i wouldn't worry too much about what you claim in the ad, as most people will have no idea anyhow. As long as its got the proper 4pot brakes, I wouldn't worry too much

hey jevan,

if it has 4-pot front brakes, then advertise it as a Type M

that's all anyone cares about really i think

as for what is type m? well, i think it included different steering wheel, rear wiper, bodykit, better brakes, and some other stuff too

but from memory any or all of these things could be added to a non type m or removed from a type m, so brakes really seal the deal...

Warren.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
