hey guys and girls,

just wondering about the different specs of the variuos GTR's around. could someone shed some light on them cos it seems everyone has a different opinion of them.

i've been told the V-Specs have brembos (and different wheels if still fitted), and the Nismo versions have no ABS, no rear wiper, ~60kg lighter, and different bodykit (nostrils, bonnet and boot lips, skirts). Are there any other differences? because i've read that R33 V Specs have more aggressive diffs and suspension?

reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to tell if it is worth the extra spend for the car as opposed to getting new brakes (and etc.) for a normal GTR?

i'm new to forums so you'll have to forgive me if i'm in the wrong section.

Cheers, see you on the road...

best bet is to do a search of the forums & you should find boundless info on the subject.

Basically, no it isn't worth the extra spend to buy a V-spec GT-R or a Nismo edition unless that is what you really want for its own sake. The brake upgrade is nothing brilliant (The Nismo edition doesn't even have that) & can be easilly bettered buying aftermarket rotors/calipers. Essentially aftermarket gear that is 10 or so years further on in its development will always be a better bet than the Nissan/Nismo upgrades offered from the 1990's.

Best way to get your hands on a GT-R that goes harder than a stockie is to buy one already in Australia. The only ones coming in from Japan from now on will be basically stock as per the RAWS scheme.

Just bought a 93 Vspec

Differences:

- Brembos, solid rotors (not cross drilled)

- The diff on R32 GTR Vspec are not finned, the normal GTR is finned (opposite of R33)

- 4WD system is the same same as R33, doesn't take as long to shift touque to the front wheels

- 17" BBS rims (stock)

Suspension is the same.

Thats about it. Oh, and it has a VSPEC sticker on the back :P

post-27256-1142069595.jpgthanks gexenon, and everyone else btw, but i think i'm leaning toward a Nismo edition, or at least one with the body kit, they just look f*@#in' sweet.

is it just me or does that screen shot say they have bigger turbos???

what does everyone think about what level of mods/tune to buy?

should i get a stocker or mild modded? because they would both have had a hard life, the modded one might have had a little more money spent keeping everything in order?

i don't know, does anyone have any comments/suggestions from experiance???

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
