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

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
