Type M - R33

[lastlineofdefence]

Had a quick search...

What the difference does a type m model have over a normal gtst in the r33 guise?

[SoFreshSoClean]

Its the body kit, and maybe some trim differences? I'm not aware of any others

Yeah i just thought only minor differences. But did the type m have more options from nissan?

[funkymonkey]

FFS I will ban the next person that refers to their "Type M" as an "M Spec"... consider this... an "M Spec" is an R34 GTR variant, usually a whole $80,000 more expensive than an R33 GTS25t Type M.

hahaha.. ahh funky..

actually I think there were also R33 Type MR GTS25t as well.. just to throw a curve ball..

It was done by the Kangawara prince nissan - 280MR (i think it's called..)

goto babelfish and stick this in the translate..

m spec is surposed to mean sunroof in r33

that is the only difference that i know of and as an owner of one , when i was selling it , i got sick and tyred of people saying that theirs was a m spec when it had no sunroof!

yeah not all mspec are meant to have sunroofs, difference are within the brakes, the rims and the bodykit, mpsecs have 16 inches rims and normal sky's have 15s,

[JD-33]

yeah my car is an m type and has no sunroof ...

[R33TOM]

but it does have a GTR front bar and side skirts!

[lastlineofdefence]

So by looking at a s2, how can i tell if it is a type m or not?

Do only series II skylines come type m??

My mate has a 93-95 skyline and i think his one is a Type M... It's got red coloured brakes ( do they all come red?? ), sunroof, and also i think only the Type M comes with the skyline writing on the back boot which lights up???

Anyone can correct me or confirm this?

[KAWAII_hachi_roku]

is type m r33 much more expensive?

[jrocket]

I want to buy a skyline and i was just trying to find out what the difference is from a r33 Gts-t series 2 and a r33 gts-t series 2 type m.

thanks for your help

[smurf80]

correct me if im wrong but I thought pretty much all the turbo series 2's were type m's?

[Mulkers]

"Type M' Is an options list available to all r32 and r33s.

It includes such things as body kits, 4 pot front brakes, adjustable front spoiler, and a bunch of other much less useful things; windscreen antenna, air purifier, illumous skyline garnish etc.

'Type S' were similar options available to the non turbo skylines

A list of these options is somewhere on the website.

Also, thanks for calling it typem, and not M spec.

Thankyou for your help.

I was thinking they must have been something to do with optional extras n stuff. I might have to have a look out for some type m cars then.

[Ronin]

My 32 has 4 pot calipers and a windscreen antenna, so that means its a type M?

[brother_david]

Ronin> Probably, unless someone put bigger brakes on it.

[WazR32GTSt]

jrocket,

yes, type m is an upper spec model that had some optional extras

BUT.. what you must realise is that >95% of skylines are in fact type M. And, even the non-type M cars have most of the options that the type M had anyway!

almost anything could be optioned in when bought new in japan, thus 5 different type M cars will all probably have different options, but will all be type M

at the end of the day, if a car is not advertised as type M, assume it is a type M unless stated otherwise. If you want to post pics up of the car, we can point out whether its one to steer clear of or not.

happy car hunting

all turbo r33's are type m except for 1 model of the auto sedan which is a type g (has a 5 speed auto). type m r32's had leather gear boot, hand brake boot and bigger brakes.

[brad_gtr]

Can anyone tell me the difference between these 2 ECR33's, GTS-T Spec 2 and GTS25T M spec , both I think are 96 models , both have RB25 DET and 5 speeds.
