here ya go...

difference with Vspec models...

"To celebrate the success of the GT-R in both Group N and Group A racing, Nissan introduces the Skyline GT-R V-Spec ("Victory Specification") car on February 3, 1993. The V-Spec added Brembo brakes and a retuned ATTESA-ETS system to the Nismo and N1 packages, as well as 17" BBS wheels with 235/45/17 tires. The V-Spec has a list price of ¥ 5.260 million.

Finally on February 14, 1994 the Skyline GT-R V-Spec II is released, the only change to the V-Spec being wider 245/45/17 tires. Total production of the V-Spec I and II is 1,453 and 1,303 units respectively. The N1 GT-R is now based on the V-Spec II.

Total production of the R32 Skyline GT-R was 43,394 units, with production starting on May 22, 1989."

Well the Godzilla reference was, originally, made with regard to the Ford Sierra. Something to the effect that "Nissans Godzilla on wheels will slay the Ford Sierra". So technically it was only ever about the Group A cars....

Anyway here is the cover of the Wheels mag from way back in 1989...

WRONG

only the r32 gtr is a true GODZILLA

+1 except i thought only the early 89ish ones (bnr32's) were the true godzilla's and the newer ones (bcnr32?? i cant remember model numbers) were pretty much the same things, with a few improvements and not quite the original... but maybe i'm just being ants at a picnic

You can reasonably refer to any R32 GT-R as Godzilla. They were all BNR32's.

In much the same way you can refer to all later models as soft try hard wannabe's. :)

ohh really, i thought they chucked a letter in to signify the revised one ^^ the guy who picks up the mail other day was giving me crap because i got a 93 and not the 89 'godzilla' one, ima slap the fool

There is bugger all difference between an '89 R32 GT-R & an '94 R32 GT-R.

Couple of changes to the trim, one to the crank/oil pump interface & a few other tidbits.

Some people get confused because you can buy R33 GTS-T's built in '93 & '94, ie alongside the last of the R32 GT-R's.

Well.... WRONG! According to the general automotive media you can refer to any Nissan GTR as Godzilla, including the upcoming 2008 GTR. :D

Nissan GTR: bring back Godzilla

A decision on whether Nissan's iconic supercar GT-R will be back in Australian showrooms will be made in October.

The wait has been long, but enthusiasts should know by October if Nissan's GT-R supercar will return to Australia. Unveiled as the GT-R Proto concept car in 2001, the eagerly awaited supercar has been a slow-burner.

But it will be officially launched at the Tokyo Motor Show, which starts on October 26.

At the same time, Nissan Australia general manager of marketing Ross Booth hopes to announce if the supercar will return Down Under. If it gets the go-ahead, the supercar, nicknamed “Godzilla”, could be on sale here late next year.

You know you are struggling to make your point when you need to refer to the general automotive media, don't you!

:P

so who did you think came up with refering to GTR as Godzilla in the first place? yes, the media!

where are all the 33 and 34 GTR owners? surely they won't accept the fact that theirs are not real Godzillas! :)

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
