im in the market for a late model r32 GTR.

what i want to know is are there any OTHER differences rather than just brakes and wheels that they were released with.

are there any identifiers on the id plate to say its a vspec, like wats to stop some1 putting a set of brembos on and saying its a vspec... maybe any codes or somethin, i dont know..

hope that clarifies wat i wanna know and am asking.

thanks

Im pretty sure if run the VIN thru Nissan FAST it would tell you if it is a VSpec... but there is always the possibility VIN plates had been swapped, tho unlikely.

exactly...get the VIN# and post it up in that thread we can check it out. the rest can be swapped pretty easily.

BTW, unless you are a collector that wants to keep it stock, don't bother paying more for a 32 vspec - you could upgrade brakes and tyres yourself for less than the additional cost - and the vspec brakes arent really a big step up anyway.

ye thats wat i wanted to kno thanks! im gonna change it all anyway, brakes, wheels etc jus wanted to see if there was anything special about them haha or was it just the brakes and tyres....

ive found a 93 vspec with 34 gtr wheels and 2560 turbos std suspension for 22k or a 11/1994 for 20k immaculate as they come with 33 gtr wheels and tein coil overs, im tossing up between the 2, the 94 is absolutely clean as but the vspec i think needs some new uni joints or somethin, feels a bit funny as i shifted gears, like a jolt... but other than that it is very clean also... dont kno which one to get!

ill be stripping it down, flaring the guards, painting it, and swapping my running gear and interior as i dont want my car off the road any longer hence looking for a late model immaculate base.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
