Type M - R33

[ToF]

No such thing as "M Spec" on any models before the R34. There was a Type M dealer option but.

TYPE M

oic. so all series 2's are mspecs? sorry im a bit confused

[Kinks]

I don't think there is a difference, there are so many slight differences and options just buy a car on face value and forget using "M-Spec" as a wank job.

I've heard that M-Spec is body kit and ABS, or something like that. My car has ABS and no body kit - so is that half M-spec? who cares! I have ABS and I don't scrape the shit out of every driveway i go up. Good enough for me!

[R33S2]

from what I understand all turboed 33s were Type M (not Mspec oops )and NA werent and the options are cosmetic options on all types

A. Its Type M, not m spec.

B. Type M have larger sideskirts and fatter front bar.

C. They were an option accorss S1 and S2. My S1 turbo has a pueny little non type-m front bar. (like 2rismo)

[wrxhoon]

The only M-Specs i know are series II R34 GTR's .

TYPE M....

M-spec is GTR territory.

i'm going with this answer. i believe passenger airbags were an option too - is this type M or not? too confusing! who cares!

[kudos.motorsports]

As far as I am aware the Type M, post R32, was a cosmetic package. However within the R32 range non Type M vehicles did not receive the big Sumitomo 4 pot front calipers or 2 pot rears; rather they received the floating items as per the non turbo models.

I have a turbo 33. It is not a Type M. Try again.

Hi guys,

Just picked up my 1993 R33 gtst and was wondering if there was a way i can tell if it is a type m?

The car has hicas - not sure if this was on all the models

I did a search but couldnt find any info

Cheers

type m's come with side skirts and rear quarter panels

[mad082]

all manual turbo gts-ts are type m. most of the auto's are, but some are type g (auto sedan only).

my s1 is a type m but doesn't have side skirts, rear pods, or the beefy front bar.

where people with series 2 go wrong calling them mspecs is because there was 2 options. type m spec 1, and typme m spec 2. they just leave the "type" off the front.

the only way to check if it is a type m is with the nissan fast program.

[Munkyb0y]

so if nissan fast says GTS25T/M does that mean Type M?

the mspec comes wid bigger brakes, stronger suspension, sports interior rather then cloth, different bodykit.

edit: forgot it comes with sunroof too i can tell u this coz i got one

i see alot of here-say by everyone, where is ur proof of the limit of extras. from what im gathering its a more sportier model with alot of extra check boxes u can tick ..

but mechanically what are all the differences.. and what is this nissan fast program.. im sure theres gotta be some info somewhere in japanese.. wish i could read japanese!!.

i have a gts25t type M. 94 R33.

I think the Type M business is just a pile off BS myself. 1 of the first comments made on this thread was that Type M is an options list with various features that you could add on to your R33 & from what I've seen I tend to agree.

My own car (97 GTS25T coupe) has:

Rear wiper

Hicas

Rear strut brace

Sumitomo Brake package (4 pot front 2 pot rear)

Dual Airbags (STANDARD from 96 onwards, optional beforehand)

How ever it did not come with:

Body kit

ABS

I have seen all soughts of variations on this (I searched for 6 months before I bought mine) some are almost the complete opposite of my own with the kit & ABS, but no HICAS, rear wiper or strut bar.

All series 2 GTS-series front bars are exactly the same unlike series 1, however you could add on the Type M front bar lip from the factory too. I don't know where the concept of a type M front bar came from for series 2's, it's bogus.

All turbo coupes as far as I know had the Sumitomo brake package standard. I have only ever seen a turbo sedan without it that was a GTS-4 & it may not have even originally had a turbo fitted.

I know, I know, old thread... meh

Can anybody tell me what my car is? It's an 1994 R33 GTS Series 1 (i believe...) with the following:

- Non-turbo

- manual

- Type M front bar and spoiler

- 2 pot front brakes, single pot rears

- 5 stud wheels

- LSD (not A-LSD though)

- no light-up SKYLINE garnish under the boot, but it is not body coloured either

- ABS

- HICAS

- no airbags

- rear wiper

- no sunroof

Sorry I only have a couple of photos... my car is in the panel shop after an unfortunate collision with a Kangaroo (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...0&p=2773000) and these are the only ones i have.

Series 1 GTS with a 5 stud conversion...?

I'm really not sure... Someone mentioned that the Type M stuff was only on the turbos...

Once I get my car back from the panel shop I'm going to look it up on FAST and see what it was when it was made.

[dezz]

Its not hard to change front bars and wings....once you get into things like brakes etc its not as cheap/easy...and you wouldn't downgrade on things like those....so i'd say its a GTS with a 5 stud conversion and some cosmetic changes...
