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?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
