i would just like to ask you a couple of questions regarding the r32 vspecs. first of all, does anyone know of any good website links that are related to r32 gtrs and vspecs?? i was wondering, what the differences were between the vspec I and vspec II. if you download the video from this site,

http://www.gtrcentral.com/movies/data/gtr/...od_shootout.mpg

you will see that the vspec II leaves them for dead. in the

drag race at the beginning of the video, you will notice that the

vspec 2 on the left side of the screen starts late and crosses the finish line long before normal gtr and vspec I (a few thousandths of a second between the gtr and vspec I). i know that one difference of the vspec I and II is the size of the rims and tyres. the vspec 2 having wider tyres and rims. however, I dont see how this could make the vspec II that much faster. of all things, it should make the car slower! i have asked many ppl the same question, they all say the only difference is the wheel and tyre package. is this true? after watching that video, i am lead to believe there has got to be greater differences in the two.

Both V-Spec and V-Spec 2 models have firmer suspension an an electronically controlled limited-slip differential plus a revised AWD system called ATTESA-ETS Pro. Both models also have larger brakes than the normal 32 GTRs, 4piston Brembo clampers with 324mm rotors at the front and 2piston ones with 300mm discs at the rear. The V-Specs also have mesh style 17x8-inch BBS rims. The only difference between the two V-Spec models are the tyre sizes as you mentoned. The 1st version got 225/50/ZR17 tyres while the V-Spec 2 has wider 245/45/ZR17's. There were no inherent differences to the RB26 engine in either models to a conventional GTR. Stock for stock, neither model should outrun the other without some modification taking place, and of course, the drivers skill and ability.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
