wtf an R32 M Spec?

Ground rules...

Only "M Spec" to ever come out in a post 1989 Skyline is an R34 GTR M Spec.

R32 GTSt's and R33 GTS25t's came in a "Type M"

A "Type M" is a factory package bundle. The package deal changes from year to year and some dealers included extra options in the package deal. So for example if you bought a Type M from Nissan, you'd usually get 16" rims, a "sports" bodykit and a bill for 100,000 Yen more than a regular GTSt.

All items available standard on a Type M are available as factory option upgrades on base models.

But i will give you a hand - the only thing that they all seem to have in common is the bigger brakes.

All other extra bits and pieces are just options, and should not be used to tell if a car is a type-m or not. The only way to know for certain is to put the VIN into FAST (can get someone to do this on the forum here)

...looking at the picture in your avatar, you have a type-m .. assuming it's your car... standard 32gtst's are pretty rare..

As xRhettx has already pointed out the front breaks are four-pot's on the type M's and two-pots ( I think?) on the standard gtst's.

other things to look for are sideskirts, frontbar, rims, leather steering wheel, climate control... there's a shitload of extra's... as far as I know the parking guide (thing that goes up or down) is also an extra on both cars..

your intercooler should be located (facing the car) on the inside of the right hand side of the frontbar.. if you follow the piping from the airbox you will find it alright...

Mine is a type-m , it has the big brakes, climate control and thats it... no side skirts, abs or aero kit.

Get the vin no and do a search for FAST on the forums, post in the FAST thread and they can look your car up for you and find out all sorts of cool stuff...if you ask nicely.

Here's a little guide as what the differences were. check out the pic attached.

aside from the brakes being different. the standard GTS-t didn't come with electronic climate control, or the GT-R steering wheel. and there were minor trim differences.

there were a couple of body kit options available for the r32 GTS-t. the so-called Type-M front bar with the more squared off look was actually an option offered to customers as well as the side skirts. projector headlights were also seen as an option so you'd sometimes also see R32 GTR's even with the non projector headlights.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
