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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
