Gtr Or Gtr Vspec

[Adz2332]

hey,

Just a quickie, how do you tell the differance between a R33 GTR and a R33 GTR VSPEC?

Is it in the vin number or is there another easy way to tell?

As im looking around at a few GTR 33s now and most claim to be a VSPEC model just wondering how do i know for sure it is?

also do some come with airbag steering wheels and others come with a non air bag with GTR on it?

just use the VIN. Ask the seller for the VIN before going for an inspection or when you are inspecting it and then run it through the VIN fast guys. Not like you'll slap money down the second you see it.

This is what I know - and stand to be corrected... VSPEC GTR's have better seat trims, bigger boot and a bigger turbo plus the front GTR lip looks more curvier like a nismo lip.

None of it is correct.

All R33 GTRs have airbags standard , Series on e have drivers side standard and passengers side option, all series II and series III have standard drivers and passengers side .

The vin will tell you for sure is it is a V-spec or not . The main difference , V-specs have a finned rear diff and ALSD on the cluster, attessa is different but hard for you to tell. they have slightly harder dampers and they are a little lower .

1. The very best way to determine if your car is a v-Spec is to check on the Vin number on the following thread

2. Tell tail signs are:

Vspec has active LSD (a yellow light in the dash)

Vpsec has the faster attesa computer 1/1000th of a second rather than 1/100th (not visually noticable)

Vspec has stiffer suspension stock 10mm lower (not visably noticable)

10kg more weight (not visably noticable)

A Vspec sticker

Air difusers for the front brakes

Slightly better ABS (not visually noticable)

Finned rear diff

lol dood wtf?

bigger boot? race drivers need that extra room for the golf clubs must be

series 3 vspec had nicer trimming ie red stiching. that was 97+ though

bigger turbo? hardly

All series III have red inserts, makes no difference if they are V-spec or not .

Wow, that's all? The price difference from what I know is quite substantial.

And you missed one thing; the VSPEC GTRS have the VSPEC badge. lol
