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

topsecret33-2.jpg

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

You may begin :(

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.....

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% :D

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.

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
