Good stuff Nick! You put my Photo Diary to shame...

Heres the V35 diagram if anyone was wondering... ...and Carlos Ghosn's original toilet paper sketch for the V35... thankfully it got saved from the flush so we could all sit around and laugh at it...

It's a factory turbo Timer... I just hope his cars a turbo...

Actually they're scans of the original toilet paper sketches I got from "Red Park" the Nissan Museum...

I have had a request to delete all references to "Rice" that have f*cked up an otherwise brilliant thread. First and last warning guys... Remember: the more you argue about Rice in the Japan Forum, the smaller your pen!s gets...

Maybe a few diagrams might help... The R32 is a sleeker, yet obviously older design, and can be identified by the crease mark running the length of the car, starting at the front wheelarch. The R33, as Nizmo stated, is a "chubbier" car than the R32, and can be identified by it's resemblance to a chubby version of an S14 Silvia/200SX... ...and the R34 can easily be identified by the crease mark that is above the rear wheelarch, but not the front. **Notice I included the Nismo vented front bumper on this diagram). Any more Q's don't hesitate to ask!

Thats what those signs usually say... but that attachment? Thats somebodies joke.Why the interest in priority seating?

heh, heh only kidding... top pics!

It's a GTS25t

Franks, thats one of the most beutiful shots I've ever seen...

Ooooh, wierd Japanese imports!!!! Theres gotta be some voodoo magic going on there!

Exactly the kind of Anti-import-Nazi stupid sh!t that everyones probably had to put up with at some stage... I bet he drives a Holden. (no offence to the 2 cool holden drivers on SAU)He probably would've cut his stupid measuring stick down had an HQ been too low.

Don't hold your breath on anything from me guys, remember I live in Kobe, so organizing a tour (although quite possible) would be a nightmare because of the distance I'd have to travel. It'd be fun, and I never say no to a business opportunity, but.... aaaaah I get back to ya...

I'll talk to our school travel agent and see if we can sort out a 3 or 4 day "Power Tour"... TAS, Tuning shops and SuperAutobacs.

No sh!t?Well, I saw him in Osaka 2 years ago... he was acting like a retard, yelling and jumping about infront of some RQs and general Japanese people while being videoed by a friend. He saw me looking at him, and he froze for a split second, then started behaving himself (prolly coz he realized he wasn't the only foreigner there). At that point, I was embarrassed to be a gaijin in Japan... I promptly legged it to try and distance my self!:zap: :bahaha: ez mate, we all make mistakes!

Good stuff! Those JGTC NSXs sound awesome don't they? This is my fav pic:

Sheesh... I'll get back to ya on that one...

Heres one of the cheaper R32 V-Spec IIs getting about: 1,980,000 yen. They go as high as 2,900,000 yen for 1,200km models!! About the turbos, yes the V-Spec II has the metal turbine wheels, but they're not "N1" spec... just the same as normal GT-Rs.

The series 1 R32 GT-R N1 started production in July '91 to August '91, then there was the model change to the series 2 where the N1 was made from August '91 through to February '93. Then there was the 3rd model change to the...errrrrm... series 3 where the "V-Spec N1" was made from February '93 to December '94... afaik. Now, they say that 500 were made, but how many that were made each successive year I don't know.

I've never heard of the local government putting salt on the roads in winter, even when I was up in the mountains in Mie, like Dave 'n the Fourty-one-fifty say, everybody just uses studless tires or chains if they're into S+M. I think I can almost pinpoint this rumour to an article on Japanese Import cars in HPI magazine back in... eeerm... 1997/8. That retard Martin D***** blamed all the underbody rust on a certain Japanese import because of the "salt they religiously put on roads in winter in Japan"... or something to that effect.

OAK mate, think you could throw a coupla beers in the post?Alright, pics: Red Pearl... Dark Blue... Can't find a pic of the Greyish Blue Metallic... anybody have one? Right now, I can only confirm that there were 6,204 R32 GT-R/GT-R V-Specs made in 1993, and 7,465 GT-R/V-Spec/V-Spec IIs made in 1994... If I were going to get an R32 GT-R, I would DEFINATELY go for a V-Spec/V-Spec II... the ordinary R32 GT-Rs are cheap, but the Brembos and the BBSs are worth the higher price alone IMO. For a good R32 V-Spec, you'd be looking at a minimum of 1,000,000 - 1,200,000 yen (A$12,175 to A$14,600) for a 70,000km, "decent" condition specimen... they double that price for mint condition ones. As opposed to a normal R32 GT-R which start at about 500,000 yen (A$6,088) for '89 models that have been driven into the ground. Thats why I say go for a '93/'94 if you're thinking about an R32 GT-R. /Rezz

Yes, it did. The M-Spec Nur, and the V-Spec II Nur both got the N1 balanced engine with N1 conrods, pistons and crank, topped off with the gold cam cover.

Hmmmmm, and heres me planning tours in Perth for Japanese students!!!Never thought of doing the opposite for Aussies coming here. Could be good. I'll see what my associates say on this...

It's still on the table...

The R32 GT-R V-Spec got: The afore mentioned BBS 17x8JJ rims with 225/50 17 tires, the Brembo 324mm brake upgrade, quicker reaction ATTESA-ETS tuning, and metal compressor/exhaust wheels in the turbos. Colors: White, Dark Blue, Black, Silver, Gun-Grey Metallic, Red Pearl, Greyish-Blue Pearl. The R32 GT-R, the V-Spec, and the V-Spec II were made alongside each other from Feb '94 through to Dec '94. So, the R32 GT-R: released Aug '89, ended production in Dec '94 The R32 GT-R V-Spec: released Feb '93 through to Dec '94 And the R32 GT-R V-Spec II: released Feb '94 through to Dec '94
