It does habe that but nismo cluster, also it doesnt illuminate and apparently converted to mechanical rear diff so no cooling fins & hydraulic piping is not present or has been removed?

I would not trust the Nismo Cluster, as it is aftermarket and they all have the A-LSD Light.

Also they are all 320 Km/h Speedos.

Legit R33 GTR V-Spec Clusters would all have 180 Km/h Speedos with the A-LSD Light.

Don't think so, it would just be the Base Model set up.

Why would you bother down grading a V-Spec to a Base model? It would be pointless and a waste of time.

Did the seller tell you it was a V-Spec?

Yeah he did and i checked everything but he said it was converted to mechanical which i can understand as the alsd isnt as responsive as a normal lsd but yeah my hunch was right oh well

Maybe a weight thing to remove it all but like you said why would you bother! Its frustrating when people mod cars and they can lose their identity so the story of why things arent there check out, to be honest i would have eventually gone for at minimum a 1.5 way diff so it still would have lost its original alsd functionality anyway. Atm im currently rebuilding the engine so looks like i lucked out twice! Thats cars though, but i love it!

Ah well, if that's the case and the normal LSD is more responsive then the A-LSD, then it's some what a win for you :)

Also, there is nothing too special / different when comparing a Base Model VS a V-Spec.

Engine / Turbos are the same.

V-Spec's weight more / A less responsive A-LSD

Has firmer (Sportier) Suspension and a lower ground clearance but I assume you would have a set of aftermarket suspension hence making the stock setup irrelevant.

It's just bragging rights and a "V-Spec" sticker on the boot lid :P

True, unless it's a track car to save that every bit of weight, there is no point in removing it.

You rebuilding it or a workshop?

Haha yeah true (bragging rights) it has hks coil overs all round so that takes care of the stiffer suspension. Im building myself, not the machine work but everything else will be from my own hands. After a long 2 days i now have the engine out stripped and head off so over the next couple weeks ill be hunting parts etc and commencing forged rebuild with all oil mods etc if you look up Nissan skyline owners Australia on Facebook you can see pics of progression its a mammoth job lol

That's it.

Cool will have a look and all the best!

Thanks for FASTING 6U900WGNC34135673 for me. Sorry to be a slight pain in the A

But I was wondering if you could list the factory options that it came with too.. thanks again,

Just looks to be your standard Stagea.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
