Hi all this may sound a little trivial to some, but im in the market for a R33 GTR V-Spec and I have been looking on the carsales website under BNCR33GTR V-Spec. However I was wondering if there were some tell tail signs other than the obvious like badging (which can be misleading at the best of times) to tell the two apart. Is there a difference in the vin numbers or something else like that? I'm just trying to avoid getting shafted, and getting something that is not what I want. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Nissan FAST will tell you the difference if you supply the VIN for someone to check it with, as well as the different diff's in the Vspec (finned in the R33's I believe).

There the most obvious things, I'd say search some more on this forum to find what your looking for.

Yeah, fins on the diff because its a Atesa E-TS Pro active diff or upgraded diff than the standard R33, brakes (brembo) and look for the brake air in-duct from the left front bumper feeding the brake disk, also the front stabiliser measures 22.2mm and rear 26.5mm which I believe are thicker.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
