Been looking at a 34 GTR and i was told it was a Vspec, but the badging is not there, are there any sure ways to tell by looking at it? It is also a chameleon purple and i am told this is a limited colour, is this true or are they just trying to make it sound good?

Just get the number BNR34-###### off the build plate and post it in the thread called "VINS you want fasted". I have a 34 GTR Midnight Purple 2. The paint code is LV4. V-specs typically have an additional front lip under the front bar (like a black plastic sheet that goes to about half way of the engine. Also, on the rear, there is a carbon fibre sheet under the bumber that goes to just beyond the rear wheels. Good luck :D

best way is to put the chasis number through the nissan fast software a couple members on this forum have access to it and can do it for you . The other ways are the front plastic diffuser and rear carbon diffuser which did not come on the non v-spec models but can be fitted to non v-spec cars by their owners to look like v-spec's very common with the front diffuser but not the rear one because of the cost .

other ways are the speedo the numbers 1 to 3 on the tacho will be compressed with the spaceing where as the non v-spec will be normal spaceing but the speedos are very easly replaced so still be wary, other way is the rear diff caseing will be finned while the non v-spec's will be smooth same as the 33 GTR's the 32 GTR's are opposite every normal 32 GTR will have a finned rear diff caseing where the v-spec models will be smooth.

another way but iam not 100% sure the main function display on the dash on v-spec's has 7 parameters and with the non v-spec models i think only has 5 parameters maybe one of the non v-spec owners could confirm this

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
