Tonight's debate - R33 VSpec 2?

[Jamezilla]

Alrighty...

In the red corner we have the production models of R33 GTR listed as normal, VSpec, N1, Autech 4-door, 400R and LM (the blue one). This is what is stated by Nissan (even in the HyperRev 57 mag). This is widely considered as correct.

The R32 & R34 had (among others) VSpec and VSpec 2 models. The R33 did not.

...

In the blue corner, we have these pics of a Top Secrect demo car in Japan:

and

That badge sure as hell looks like VSpec II to me? Is it real or rice?

You may begin

[Guest RedLineGTR]

it could be a vspecII(Seen Vspec, Maybe a VspecII genuine r33 sitcker but they could of been a fake) but the sticker is from a R34, so i dont know if they couldnt find a r33 model one or they just are showing off that they have parts Stickers like that avaliable...

[Merli]

No such thing. That's the sticker off an R34 VSpec II.

But DAMN that looks nice... :uh-huh:

[SKYLINED]

Spoont!!!!!

oh and again!!!!!

That is 1 hell of a car, whateva it is!

[GT-Rmgedon]

Looks like it has some sorta Kakimoto widebody kit on it. Can't be sure...its too dark. Damn it looks nice though? Where did you get the pic Jamezilla? Is that R logo illuminated on the bottom sideskirt or is just reflecting off something??? Anybody have any guesses......I second Merli...no such thing as an R33 V-Spec 11.....

[mickGTR]

I've been trying to track down a set of those wheels.... they are the latest from RAYS ENG_ and I cant seem to find them. Im pretty sure it's a series 2 GTR as I have seen this car before on a DVD.

[Merli]

There's no widebody kit on that, they're standard GTR guards...

It does however have aftermarket sideskirts and rear pods (I expect aftermarket front bar too)

[GT-Rmgedon]

Yeah from the angle it looked wide. The rear and side guards thru me off...Doh!

[YBSLO4]

there is a Vspec II GTR in the R33 i been in one The genuine sticker for the Vspe II is the same style sticker as the GTS25T on the R33's.

Is a TopSecret demo/customer car.

I was only unsure as to if it was real - I wouldn't expect TopSecret to put a 'pretend' sticker on a car.

They foglamp is on - so it is a late model '33. The pic came from a member of the UK GTR club's website from a visit to Japan.... I was pretty sure there were no VSpecII in the R33 - but as I said, wasn't 100%

[YBSLO4]

It was from a dealer, the car had 2,300km's on it, silver 98 GTR Vspec II???? My dad nearly bought it last year, $71,000

[Merli]

I think that's a Top Secret Customer Car. That isn't one of their demo cars, at least it wasn't at their workshop in January when I visited.

YBSLO4: Dude. There is no such thing as an R33 GTR VSpec II.

[YBSLO4]

Hmmm... that is the dodgiest thing going round.... warning to all do not buy from LEISURE VEHICLES on Stud Rd in Wantirner/Bayswater!! What a joke... we were so close to buying it aswell.

[Merli]

Did they claim it was a VSpec II? If so, that's very dodgy.

I went to a dealer on Parramatta Rd here in Sydney a few years ago, and had the dealer adamantly claim that it was a Series 2 GTS-t. It didn't have passenger airbag, series 2 steering wheel or series 2 headlights. The plate in the engine bay said it was a 1995... Dealers will spout anything they can think of to make a sale. Quite disgraceful actually.

[YBSLO4]

Man he wouldn't stop abhout how rare and good the car was, i mean year it was brand new you could tell with that amount of KM's it was obvious it had barely been driven, but he bragged endlessly about the Vspec'II'?? That gets me so cut i swear, $71,000 and they still try and firggen stooge ya...
