Hey Guys, I have just purchased a 1994 R32 Veilside Evo n4 Widebody GTR and was wondering if anyone can confirm that they were all brought out in V Spec 11 Models. All my research has told me they were all made in V Spec models and a reputable melbourne workshop told me they were all V Spec models. It has Brembo's but I was wondering if there was any other way of knowing for sure whether it is a V Spec?

Thanks Guys.

whats the model code on the build plate and have a look at the rear diff cover is plain or finned

Not relevant on 32's.

Just get the VIN number and have someone run it through FAST in the FAST thread.

and yes, PICS!!!!

whats not relevant? the model number or the rear diff

all standard R32 GTR's have a finned diff all V-spec and V-spec II have a flat diff cover so the opposite of the R33's. Best way to tell is the model code V-spec II have KBNR32BFS8 AA where a V-spec does not have the 8 on the end and normal GTR's do not have the S or the 8 on the end.

so v-spec models have a S

v-spec II models have a S8

mate you actually have no idea what your talking about. Diff housings can be changed over so not a good way to identify a vspec from non vspec. Might be true that vspec doesnt have the finned diff but i have seen plenty of non vspec r32 gtr's that have the flat diff cover.

Wrong about the "s" in the model code. All GTR's should have it in the model code as it actually stands for S: Intercooler + Turbo + EGI.

So before you make things worse find out some facts.

GLAZE post up your vin mate and ill find out for sure what model r32 gtr you have.

sorry wrong about the S denotes a v-spec but 8 denotes a v-spec II not sure how the v-spec's are coded

and babyskyline pull your head in!

and who the hell changes the diff cover to a plain one thats if you can find one they only came on the v-spec models so there isnt to many around, the diff is a quick way to tell if you may have a v-spec model obviously the best method is through the nissan fast software

sorry mate but im well and truely sick of people writting up info that isnt correct or definitive.

People do change over the diffs. It is pretty bad that this destinctive feature of a r32 gtr vspec isnt a good way of telling if you have a genuine vspec. Like i said above i have seen many "vspec" diff covers on non vspecs in my search for a nice r32 gtr lately.

Sorry mate, meant to say the diff cover is irrelevant. Build plate is very relevant.

I'm yet to see anything 100% confirm the fin v non fin diffs relating to specific models in R32's. It's well documented for 33's but from what i've read a bit up in the air on 32's. I could be wrong though.

Either way, anything that can be changed, is probably not a good way to 100% check.

But, yep build plate is the way to go.

Yeh they released a Veilside Evolution with Veilside Kit, Veilside Exhaust, Veilside Strut Bar. It comes with Teins and Nismo LMGT1 18"Wheels, Brembo's.

Very Rare limited built car that I was told by a very reputable melbourne workshop they werent available to the public when released.

Will get Vin number and confirm whether it is a V Spec or not?

Cheers

Well I dont know how many there are in OZ, this is the only one I have seen in the 7 years of being an import owner, and the price of one of these in this condition is something I would like to keep private if thats OK. I dont like to talk about how much I spend on my Toys. Sorry Bud.

Looking forward to showing you all how clean this thing is and a nice tidy engine bay with a matching colour engine and polished pipes!!

Hey you found a Pic, nice!! Yeh the previous owner had an accident with a gutter:( I will look to possibly get a genuine front bar for it, even though I dont actually like it very much:)

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
