Just looking @ the mods n stuff i reckon that one is worth around 30-32k .. 39k is a bit overboard .. However, looking @ pics it looks very clean.. Also, ull find caryards overprice their cars quite abit.. After all they are their to make money?

These are figures spouted repeatly around the net. The "400 only" sounds like it may be confused with the N1 release.

In total 40,390 standard BNR32 GT-Rs were produced, with only 6% of production dedicated to V-spec issue-

• 1,453 V-Spec

• 1,303 V-Spec II

In later models such as the R33 series, ‘V SPEC’ models were in such demand that ‘V Spec’ production increased to over 40% of total series production.

R32 GT-R numbers in Australia have certainly increased with private imports over the past 10 years to become almost quite common on Australian roads. Yet a ‘V Spec’ R32 is still a very rare find, (even in Japan).

Being just 6% of production makes it "exclusive". Of course you can modify a base R32 GT-R to handle as good or better than a V Spec, yet it dosen't make it a V Spec. The market today still supports this theroy, hence the higher price they command. Highly modified cars have a low return on additional investment (that's the nature of cars).

At the end of the day, it just depends on your purpose / intention for GT-R ownership.

V-Spec Factory Features over a standard GT-R

•17 inch Aluminium BBS mesh rims with 225/50 tyres

•Brembo brakes (four-piston) with ventilated 324mm discs up front and two-piston 300mm discs in the rear

•Firmer suspension setup (bilsten shocks)

•Electronically revised all-wheel-drive system (ATTESSA-PRO)

The ONLY difference between the V Spec and the V Spec II in a R32 is that;.

* V-spec II actually had slightly wider tyres at 245/45

* The V-spec II had a boot decal

Other stuff?

* Boot lip (under the wing) often seen in pictures,... yet mine dosn't appear to ever had one

* Also mine has no rear window wiper

Maybe optional from factory?

Vspecs all came with rear wipers, don't think it was optional. The ATTESSA-PRO is much quicker and is a good feature.

I've got a 93 Vspec and on the shocks it says GTR and looks like the standar GTR shocks. Are you sure the 32s came with bilstein shocks? i know the 33 has stiffer suspensions.

I think a clear Vspec will fetch higher prices but not 10K more than a standard in similar condition. 3-4K is a reasonable premium to pay.

I have dealt with Fuji Motorsports before and I have personally seen that car up close and think its a very clean and tidy car and worth every cent. I would try and get it at least 3-4K cheaper though. It has many mods and the HKS Turbos which are a real bonus.

All I can say is mine has no rear wiper/ no rear wiper controls (maybe I'm sitting on a N1!....I wish!... I have factory air etc) Picture attached.

Also attached is a picture of promo ad with a R32 Vpec....looks like it may have no wiper on that one either!

Athough, disregard the bilsten shocks comment, I thought it was as I seem to recall that is what I have (on a pretty unmodified car) I can't seem to find anything support the tie with bilsten shocks / Vspec on the net anyway.

WTF, 3-4k wouldn't come anywhere near the replacement value with larger rotors, Brembo package, genuine BBS rims, Pull type clutch setup, ATTESSA-PRO, and the firmer suspension setup.

I doubt any V Spec owners would separate from the above factory package components for a mere 3-4k. If any would, pls PM me, I've been chasing some spare V Spec rims for years!

I'm unsure about the offset but the VSpec BBS rims are a match for the 99-03 Liberty B4 rims.

FWIW

Yep have actually noticed that before....would be worth a check with the offset. Anyone know a Brisbane owner of a 99-03 Liberty with B4's that would entertain an offset comparsion?

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
