Hey liner's,

What makes an 'M-Spec' an M-spec????? (not and, sorry!!)

Specifically for a 1995 GTSt (my car)..........

Is it the spoilers, skirts, tail fin, trim, performance enhancements...etc?

Can one simply tell by looking at it, smelling or tasting it?

(sorry about the crappy pic, if someone needs a few pics to help me out I will gladly then get off my butt and get them, to help you help me!!!!)

I thankyou in advance!

Mark.

to start with... your car's a "Type M" and not an "M Spec" (M Specs were only R34 GTRs) so that sorta makes this whole thread a little redundant :D

Well, that's me, redundant....I do drive a 95skyline!!!

Ok, to rephrase, what's a 'Type M', and is it any different to other 1995 GTST variants?

And thanks for straightening me out FM!!

lights and trim......................dunno about the engine or suspension

All R33 GTS-T are 'Type M', there is no such thing as a non 'Type M' GTS-T. The confusion comes from the R32 GTS-T which came as a standard model or 'Type M' which came with some extras as standard.

i thought the type-m r33's where the ones that came with the sideskirts etc etc ?

And the red grille badge..No mech difference afaik.

It's what they call in the trade an svp (special value pack) good for boosting sales or running out old models to make way for the new model.

PlasticStan,

whys your profile got 'Type-M' in the car bit ?

Because that's what car I've got, along with everyone else with an R33 GTS-T, they are all Type M :D :D

Side skirts, larger front bumper etc, were optional extras available on any R33 GTS-T Type M.

There is apparently a difference. Cause i was lookin at some brochure. There is a ECR33 which is a Type M and non Type M. ER33 usually mean non turbo and the ER33 includes the RB20, but there is a turbo version for the ER33. The ECR33 usually mean turbo, there is a ECR33 which is the 2.5 non turbo, GTS25t and the GTS25t type-M. This was what i gathered from the japanese brochure. So i'm pretty interested to know what's the difference btw a Type M and non Type M. Before i got a skyline, i thought the difference btw the Type M and non Type M is the wheelbase width. Which i don't think is correct after seeing so many. Could it be the difference btw the trims and stuff? Options? EG: Viscous LSD and a normal LSD? I think i'll do a little bit of research after my exams ;)

E = RB25

C = HICAS

R33 = Marshmellows

ER33 is an R33 without HICAS, ECR33 is one with... it dosen't mean that they've got turbos or not. Although you usually had to buy a poverty model (ie N/A) R33 to get no HICAS as standard.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
