Q.? Difference between R32 GTS-T & Type M

[46n2]

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a R32 GTS-t & a R32 GTS-T Type M?

[GraemeWi]

Things to looks for:

Type M has the 16 x 6.5 alloy wheels, the non type m GTS-t has steel wheels with plastic trims (I've also seen them with the GTS alloys, but not all that many)

Type M has what I call the "sports" type steering wheel, the plain GTS-t has a different steering wheel.

Type M has a different brake package (a bit bigger) most obvious on the rear.

The engine spec is identical.

There are plenty of options available that could be added: active spoilers, cruise control....etc

I've attached an info sheet with a few pictures etc of the bits talked about above.

Thanks GW

I'd read somewhere something about Type M's having HICAS and regular GTS-T being stuck without...Another garden path?:uh-huh:

[GraemeWi]

Yip - another garden path The GTS-t, type M GTS-t, type S GTS all have HICAS.

[TTT]

Not all have HICAS.

HICAS was an option when they were new.

They were an option on the Type -M and the normal GTST..

but HICAS is not standard unless it was asked for when new.

[GraemeWi]

I've struggled through the copy of the R32 sales brochure I have, (and I can't read Japanese!) ...to me it looks like HICAS is standard equipment to all turbo R32's as well as the type s N/A.

Thanks lads....

Just curious as I'd heard so many different stories...

As you can see : CAR - R32 GTST (Type M???)

I've started up another thread in the performance section. My poor car's squealing. Any ideas??

Thanks

I read somewere that the gts-t Type M is the turbo, and then there is the gts???

In other words there is only a gts-t type M...??

was this wrong??

yes from what i heard, the gts-t is type m, the gts is type s, and the gte is just normal....

[dAVE]

the picture in the 2nd post is most accurate.

type m in the 32 comes with the side skirts etc that the normal gtst's dont.

in the r33 range, all gtsts are type m.
