Guys,

My friend has an R33 GTR Vspec "II". At least it has that badge on the back of the car. Its VIS racings old show car for the USA. Full custom carbon fiber kit ( only one in existance actually ). He is trying to sell it. Of course its not registered "yet"....but we could get it registered if he would just take the time. He is only 23 years old and got the car by trading some young rich kid that bought the car from VIS racing. My friend traded his turbo integra type-r for it straight up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO JOKE. It was hillarious.

but on the topic:

Did they make a Vspec 2 R33 GTR? I know they made the R32 Vspec II and the R34 Vspec II....?

guys give me a hand here. :P

-Jonathan

Before these pics, the car was rearended by a heavy duty truck. The original trunk had the "V SPEC II" decal....very odd.

I know the regular VSPEC had ATESSA, and the VSPEC II had ATESSA ETS PRO. But only the R32 and R34 models were labeled as VSPEC II??

actually they didnt make the GT-R 33 V-spec II, as my knowledge told me so far.... i asked this question to my friend but yeah they didnt make it from the Nissan factory !!! just R32 and R34 just the V-spec II model

R33's only came as regular V Specs, no V Spec II was released.

Nice car, dunno about the paint job and mismatched panels tho, but I guess its to show off the CF bits.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
