Is there anyway to tell and is there any Difference?

As there is alot of skylines advertised as TYPE M's all looking quiet different.

plenty of threads about it.

Common signs are;

- 4pot brakes on the front (just look for larger brakes on the front wheels)

- Digital Climate control

- Electronic front spoiler

TypeM was just an optional feature pack from Nissan when buying a r32. A lot of dealers had different optional extra's in their 'TypeM' package, hence they all different.

Ive noticed, that the majority of 1993 R32's do not come with the 'TypeM' bodykit but are TypeM.

So dont judge the type of r32 by its bodykit as its all mix and match.

Hope that helps.

OMG! this must be the most common post ever, there was one about it just a week ago. Please do a search.....

In short though just about every r32 gts-t is a type m and get someone to run its vin through fast if you want to check a particular car. The main difference is the 4 pot front brakes. All the rest of the stuff could be optioned on any 32 gts-t....

Not all type m had the electric front spoiler. Mine and my mates didn't and both are type m (confirmed through FAST)

ok mine's been fasted, mine's type M but doesnt have digital climate control... what the??

Wa-wa-wee-waa.... Yours is one of very few to not have climate control. Nearly ever 32 in aus has it. Type M was a spefic to each dealer. Some gave more and the type M was a higher premium in such cases, other dealers may have given just the basics such as brakes. They all get that!

So your must not have got climate control, either that or the vin has been changed on your car, but doubt it.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
