sorry guys, found an earlier thread that explains most of it...

( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=1693 )

can anybody tell me if the diff's are different, I know the brakes are too, what about the suspension?

It's just I found a sweet GTS-t but it's not a Type M and I'm wondering if I should hold out?

Ed, I'm not sure if the diffs are the same, but definately go for the Type-M... just for the brakes alone I'd get one.

With the spoilers... all options for both, so not all Type-M's have them.

cheers, so it's just the brakes really then?

Yeah, the Type M is really just: wider standard wheels, bigger brakes, and airbag/LSD/spoiler options... thats all the important stuff.

mine is supposedly a type M it has air bag instructions on the drivers sun shade, but a normal wheel.

are you saying you can get turbo r32's without a LSD?

I think they all have LSDs (they'd have to...) but the ones in the Type-Ms were different, or there was an option for a different one?

airbag on r32 type M?? Think you may be mixed up with r33.

Also, side skirts I dont think are standard on non-type M 32's

Oooookaaay... airbags WERE OPTIONS on HR32 Skyline GTS-t Type-M`s from 8/91 on.

Believe me, I don`t post stuff unless I triple check it.

Please guys, read the posts before replying. Just because you`ve never seen something, it doesn`t mean it doesn`t exist... especially on Japanese Imports!

So this makes my car a mongrel :(

Got all the type M gear minus skirts and a GTS 4 front bar (guessing accident by previous owner)

BTW has anyone ever seen a GTS-t with steelies (as mentioned in the link above)? Particularly amusing when the GTS non turbo has 4 stud alloys!

I don't think there were different brakes though. All 32GTS-t's that I've seen have the same 4 pot brakes unless they have been upgraded to R33 brakes or better by the owner. Though if the brakes have to fit behing steelies than I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

Im pretty sure my r32 is a Type M, it said on the auction report from Japan.

And it has the airbag warning label on the sunvisor, but my wheel has been changed to a sparco race wheel.

Williamc, the front brakes (4pot) are bigger than the rears, you can see 2 pistons from each side.

My car came without sideskirts and rear pods, pretty sure they were an option even on Type m.

Relax rezz, its just a discussion.

I`ll go easy on the caps next time... it wasn`t my intention to make this an argument.... sorry:D

all the R32's have the AIR BAG instructions on the visor but dont have an AIRBAG (bit dodgy) anyway my 32 has hicas,ABS and all the other shit including the HUGE ARSE brakes which failed. :D

STUPID ABS Crap

While on that topic anyone know how to remove the full ABS?????

Let me know

Hey Guys,

Got this from the book "The Sky is The Limit" ( Couldn't find the name of the author, so can't pay my respects :D ) Apparently taken from a Japanese Skyline sales brochure.

"The Type S is based on the GTS, and has alloy wheels, HICAS and the sport type steering wheel. The Type M is based on the GTS-t, and has 16x6.5 alloy wheels, HICAS, and the sport type steering wheel. The Type M, Type S and GTS-t have HICAS, the regular models don't."

"Options: Climate air conditioning, Electric front spoiler, Sunroof, Cruise control, Premium audio ( Kenwood / Alpine / AddZest), Rear spoiler, "Bug eye" headlights, Alloy wheels, Permium brake package."

Hope that helped!

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
