What does R32 GTS-T Type M mean and stand for?

[jdmvip]

Anyone know what the Type M is for and what it means and the history behind it?

I dont know what the Type M stands for..

however i do know it means Extra Options..
Type M Bumper and Side Skirts
Front Drop Down Spoiler

Maybe that is the definition right there, but I wonder if M itself has an actual meaning or if it's just that it has extra features.

The GTS-T Type M included larger five-stud 16 in wheels, four piston front calipers and twin piston rears

Thanks for that Mark. Any idea what Type M itself means though?

motorsport??

Hmmm that is the best one I've heard yet. I wonder why no one really knows for sure.

This has to be one of the greatest mysteries in JDM history

I forgot about the 4 studs. VS 5 stud.

what he said, and what Ben said...lol

Better brakes, bigger rims w/ 5 studs, and an aero kit.

I think there were a few little differences with the interior? Maybe I'm thinking something else...but I think there were a few other subtle differences.

All I know is that the Type M had more features like you guys said, compared to non Type M, but no one has been able figure out what the M means for sure.

I'm just curious that's all.
