Check VIN again, nothing coming up.

All R34 GTRs have it except for V-Spec N1 and V-Spec II N1.

I wrote a ltitle PHP script today, to decode R32 models, it's a automated version of http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html: http://fteqw.com/moodles/model-decoder.php

My GTR is just a normal GTR and my model is KBNR32RXFS7, the 7 on the end means it's a normal GTR, if it was an 8 it means it's a V-Spec II, if the number is absent, it's a V-Spec I.

Also the KBNR32RBFS, B means it has 17" V-Spec wheels.

Thanks very much.

So it confirrms that it is a V-Spec I

It has the BBS 17's, Finned Diff and Brembos but it is nice to be sure.

Thanks

Hi

I was reading the post above about "V" Spec 1 identification

Does the build number have to have the B for 17 inch wheels as well as the 7 and 8 missing?

EG The number KBNR32RXFSLMZG built 08/90. It does not have a 7 or 8 but come with 16 inch wheels and seems to early.

In what year and month were V specs first produced?

Cheers

The number you have quoted could be (paste from wikipedia):

The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced in February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing. Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce. The 'Nismo' GT-R was only available in Gunmetal Grey.

The unknown bits on the end, LMZG could indicate the intercooler ducts, bonnet lip spoiler, boot lip spoiler etc (ive never seen a Nismo R32 GTR model string before)

As for it being a V-Spec, impossible (paste from wikipedia):

To celebrate the success of the GT-R in both Group N and Group A racing, Nissan introduced the Skyline GT-R V-Spec ("Victory Specification") car on February 3, 1993. The V-Spec added Brembo brakes and a retuned ATTESA E-TS system to the Nismo and N1 packages, as well as 17" BBS wheels with 225/45/17 tires. The V-Spec has a list price of ¥ 5.260 million.

Yes the build number has to have the B meaning 17 inch rims, the missing number in the code and AA on the end to be a vspec. Vspcs were released in 1993 so there is no way you would have one. For some reason nissan didnt always have the 7 in the model code for the "series 1" r32's (built until 1991 some time). They are always in the "series 2" model code though.

As for the last 4 letters of the model code, LMZG, i posted 2 pages back what they are.

You just have a normal r32 gtr.

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.

      100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)

      Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
