[{AMO}]

I am looking at purchasing a series 2 R33 Gts-t. if anyone has had one or knows about them tell us what you think of them.

Also if anyone can help me out; whats the difference between the normal gts-t the m-spec and the gts-4.

any comments or thoughts would be much appreciated, cheers.

GTST = RWD, Single Turbo

GTS-4 = ATTESSA 4WD, NA (non-turbo)

M-Spec - slightly different kit and larger Brakes i think

There have been many threads discussing this - just hit the search button and browse around

Hi, yeah I have a series II GTS25t and am very happy with it, great car. If I had a bit more cash I prolly would have looked around for a 98 R34 GTT, but apart from that no complaints whatsoever, I love my car, and judging from the attention she gets so does everyone else

As slow13dude said, GTS25t M Spec is a turbo RWD and GTS4 is NA AWD

As far as I know, ALL R33 GTS-T's are M-Spec. The only difference between any of them is that some got an active diff, which is apparently quite rare.

I looked at around 10 Series 2 R33's, and test-drove 4 of them. I didn't like the brake pedal in ANY of the ABS-equiped cars - they all felt soggy and pooh in general. My car (non-ABS) has a shift-kit of some kind and the gearbox feels FANTASTIC for having it, if a little notchy for some people. Apparentley they all have a flat spot in the power curve at 5,000rpm when the boost increases, and I'll be fixing that with an Apexi AVC-R boost controller and PowerFC engine computer. My HICAS warning light kept coming on, and the speedo kept dropping out too, but that seems to have been fixed by taking the instrument pod out and cleaning all the contacts. My Diff's getting a little noisy too - and it doesn't do any limiting of slip either. Oh well....

Private sale cars seem to run $17500 -> $21000 and importers/yards seems to start at $20,500 and go up from there.

If they have soggy brake pedals the pads need replacing maybe? Mine has ABS and the pedal is actually really firm and the brakes have just flat out surprised me a couple times when I've really needed them used them as to how good they are.

This is the first ABS car I've owned but I read somewhere that if the brake pedal feels "spongy" then it's time to change the pads.

Oh yeah and I missed that bit about Type-M's...ok as far as I understand it, in R32s there was a GTSt Type-M (with a bodykit, bigger brakes, etc) and a regular GTSt which was cheaper. There was also a Type-S which I believe was a lower trim level.

In R33s there was the GTS25 Type-S (non turbo) and the GTS25t Type-M (turbo) and no non-turbo Type-M. And then of course a bunch of other variants like GTS4, Urban Runner etc, all of which were non-turbo. Urban Runner was RB20DE non-turbo (nice lol) and GTS4 was ATTESA AWD non-turbo.

So anyway, by the time R33s came about all turbo skyline GTS25t's were type-M and all N/A ones weren't type-M
