Hi all,

Just wondering if it was only the R32 GTR V-specs that came standard with the dark grey front lip? I reckon it looks awesome, just wondering what the actual colour of the lip is called too?

Cheers,

Matt

Yeah the V-Specs came with the Nismo bodykits. Pretty much dark grey is the colour. I got one but my cars not a V-Spec just the Nismo kit and the paint is coming off, dammit!!! one too many scraps.

^^Actually, sorry buddy, the Non V-Specs did come with a dark grey lip but I don' think they where painted, just the normal sorta non painted plastic or what ever they used.

I remember seeing it on the Wine Red and White GTR's but cuz I mainly see Grey and Black ones ya sorta don't notice it.

Ok, yeah seems a bit random what models came with it. I just bought a 94 wine R32 GTR and the whole front bar is wine coloured.

^^Congratulations on the new GTR R32! how it going? All the best I hope! What you have b4?

Thats rare, Wine Red I hardly see them and usualy their are kept in pretty good condition. Cuz its not a colour a car nut would go around trashing in LOL.

Plus its the one of the local delivered Skyline colours, so Wine Red, Gun Metal Grey and Black (Also White, if I remembered correctly?) Quite original infact.

Previous owner must have painted the drak grey lip to match the rest of the car, cuz it kinda sticks out and can look alittle funny.

Any pics!!!

ALL R32 GT-R's (V-spec, N1, ordinary, Nismo) left the factory with the front spoiler unpainted, ie in unpainted dark grey plastic.

As this tended to date the cars & was also likely to get scratched and look pretty ordinary a majority of owners ended up painting them.

If you want one your best bet is you local Nissan spare parts man. They are not as stupidly priced as the rest of Nissans offerings.

Cheers! Still in Japan but can't wait to get it! It was a grade 4 so seems ok, the usual scratches etc but apparently a cut and polish should fix it. Didn't mind too much what colour but I would have picked this if I had this choice! It's a 94 model, and yeah the only colour I like with the grey lip was the wine red one so I might paint it. See how it looks first. Is pretty much stock except for a 320k speedo and coilovers. Mags too obviously, 17" Volk GT-U I believe. Last car was a 300zx twin turbo with just under 300kw. Great car but spun the tyres lots trying to get the power down, lots of fun though! Owned it for a long time but decided it was time for a change. Only pics I've got of the new one:

^^Nice bro! When you said 94 model I was expecting it to be a V-Spec II and by seeing the wheels they looked like the BBS rims that came stock with the V-Spec II's.

When does it arrive?

I had a Nissan 280ZX tuned by Z - Shop. Had a high flow air filter, racing cams, full exhaust system and manifold, 5 speed 300ZX gearbox, 1" lowered King Springs and I took the back seats and spare tyre out. In the wet blasting down the freeway I could get sideways. Scary LOL!

Thanks mate, would be a nice surprise if it was a vspec II but somehow I don't think so heh. Not sure I'm the biggest fan of the rims but think they are worth a bit so might sell them and get something different. Won't be here for about a month.

Hehe yeah the Z's are fun, if you were doing 100km/h on the freeway and floored it in 4th it would spin the tyres in the wet, scary as :D

^^Actually Probley better if its NOT a V-Spec, they weight more and I preffered the standard GTR R32 rims then BBS ones.

If it was a N1 model with weight reduction and N1 turbos then YEAH!

Who did you buy the car through? Sell the rims and get some nice Nismo's!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
