ECR33 questions about "Type M" / ENR33/HR33/ER33 types

Hi,

===== Question 1 =====

I have some questions about ECR33s and if they are all Type M or not if the GRADE in FAST is GTS25T/M.

Basically there's 4 series I'll refer to as series 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 with numbers of

Series 1    ECR33-000151    ECR33-032xxx
Series 1.5    ECR33-050101    ECR33-063xxx
Series 2    ECR33-101001    ECR33-114xxx
Series 2.5    ECR33-130101    ECR33-135xxx

(excluding pre-production ranges)

So All series 2 and 2.5 are all Type M I'm told (most, but not all of 2.5 are 40th anniversary editions).

Anyway, regarding series 1 and series 1.5

In FAST the GRADE is always listed as GTS25T/M. 

However, in the series 1.5 range there is a model code for Type M. If the 16th digit is J or K, it is coded as "Type M" or "Type M with rear spoiler". This applies to about 20% of the cars.

From reading around many people say all are Type M. So does anyone know why it is coded into the model code in series 1.5? Does it mean that series 1 + 80% of series 1.5 are just GTS25t and 20% of series 1.5 + 2 + 2.5 are GTS25t Type M or are they all Type Ms?

I've looked through auction results and found cars that look identical but are coded differently:

http://exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=98JyzhcUaYku3vd > coded type M in FAST
http://exportcar.jp/en/component/auctstat/?view=auctstatdetail&id=4wboBIL1bBWR4 > not coded Type M in FAST

Basically I'm trying to find out what the code means and why it is applied to some cars and not others.

===== Question 2 =====

Are these the only types of ECR33s?

GTS25 Type S
GTS25t Type M
GTS25t Type M 40th Anniversary
GTS25t Type M Active LSD
GTS25t Type M1 4 door
GTS25t Type M2 2 door
GTS25t Type M2 4 door

===== Question 3 =====

Are these the only types of ENR33s?

GTS-4
GTS-4 40th Anniversary
GTS-4 Type G
GTS-4 Type X

===== Question 4 =====

Are these the only types of ER33s?

GTS25
GTS25 Type G
GTS25 Type S
GTS25 Type S/S
GTS25 Type X
GTS25 Type X Limited
GTS25 Type XG
GTS25 Urban Runner S
GTS25t Type G
GTS25t Type S

===== Question 5 =====

Are these the only types of HR33s?

GTS
GTS Type G
GTS Type S
GTS Type X
GTS Type X 40th Anniversary
GTS Type X Limited
GTS Urban Runner S

I've done quite a bit of searching and reading but thought I should also check here. 

Thanks very much.

Since I assume it was done 'aftermarket' to production there is no reference in the notes to it, and therefore don't have access to any VIN information about which cars were transformed in to 280 type MR.... imo.

Thanks. I will get around to adding this as a special model one day. I just checked in FAST and there's nothing different as a listing so no way I'll be able to work out the other 2.

    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
