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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
