How Does A Std Gtr Compare To A V-spec Gtr?

[JUN R33]

I tried to search for the answers but, nothing came up so, I created a topic so V-Spec and Series II/III GTR owners could help me.

Thanks for your help.

Only Series III 33 GTRs got Xenons.

[JUN R33]

Can anyone 100% confirm this?

Is it possible that a Series II only got the red trimming on the seats but, no Xenons? if in fact this is true, is there a way of adding Xenon lights in the future?

mine is a series II, no xenons.

[JUN R33]

Serious II? Must be a limited model *S* jk

frankxinyu, Whats the difference in driveabilty V-Spec Vs Std GTR?

[GTRgeoff]

V-spec came with slightly harder suspension and active rear diff.

When you upgrade the suspension there is no difference, and since they are getting old that is almost a necessity.

The active diff is poo if it stops working and is no faster anywhere while the std has a nicely setup 2-way LSD.

On R34 it has underbody diffusers and a deeper front lip.

On R32 it has Brembos and nicer 17" wheels.

Don't waste money on V-spec unless R34.

This was covered a month ago.

Only series III got xenons.

You can add them sure. $2000.

32 vspec 2 might b worth it, and brembos were certainly a worthy upgrade for a 32.

owning an active lsd that hasnt mess'd yet i can tell you, its slightly more everyday friendly but still locks efficiently until it blows, then its supposed to be expensive..... let you know if i ever blow mine but considering i dont do burnouts mine should prolly last 4 yonks considering my car wont ever make enough power to exceed it's limitations... i think

Yes it is if someone has changed them, only series III had red seats. You can fit xenons to any 33 GTR ( with a slight mod) but they are very expensive even second hand in Japan. Halogens are O.K. as long as they are not converted xenons and you can make them a lot brighter by feeding 14 volts to them direct and use a rely to trigger them on.

There are a few little other differences in the series III as well. the front lip is different ( lower ) than S II and S I and the brake ducts are thicker. The front passengers blinker /vent is different , the fuse box cover has GTR on it, thats all i can think of now but i'm sure i missed something .

As Geoff said the struts are harder and about 5mm lower than none V-spec, Attessa pro, ALSD and the cluster and finned diff.

series 3 33GTR also has a different steering wheel (thank god!).

[JUN R33]

the series II gtr i am buying has red stiching in the front and rear seats?

Much the same as series II Richo.

Dude if this is the car , looks like its a series II with series III seats, looks like its not a V-spec either.

I knew i forgot something series III cars have a rear fog light as well, so only one reversing light.

[JUN R33]

That is definitely NOT the car I am buying!

The car I am buying is a 97 GTR V-Spec with the LSD light on the dash, red stiching on both the front seats and rear seats and also has a red reverse light on the RH rear of the car.

Well thats probably a series III with the xenons removed for compliance . How long has it been in the country? The reason i ask is because under the old system you wouldn't have to remove the xenons, only under sevs . Have a look at the front lip/brake ducts and the front left ( passengers side)blinker grill, as i said they are different in the III, what about the fuse box cover? What month 97 ?

The red light is NOT reverse light, its a fog light.

Factory lights from nissan. Not cheap chinese aftermarket jobs.

I'm currently looking at a 96 model 33 GTR V-spec and it has Xenons (listed as factory in the sale info), am I to believe that these are not genuine? The pictures certainly show Xenons.

Back to the topic,

My understanding of main V-Spec differences were,

ATTESA E-TS PRO

10mm lower and firmer suspension

Active LSD

LSD and ATTESA Pro combine to allow torque split left and right as well as front to back ike a standard GTR. It seems to be a big debate about it's merit.
