As far as I know the difference between a vspec I and vspec II is all in the suspension & diff setups......vspec I was setup for general road use whereas the vspec II was setup to lap the Nurburg ring (harder setup!!)

SKYLINEGTR, I have THE GT-R BIBLE at home, and I'll be able to answer you question in detail. But I'm at work now, so I'll post up tonight sometime.

It's a Hyper Rev/Nissan/JAF silver special edition... my most prized automotive book, it chronicles the timeline from BNR32 to 34 with every concievable model variation and detail... in Japanese!

It's a special edition, and I tried to look for another copy in the shops but they were either sold out, or in very short supply. I has mine mailed to me by my Japanese mate who works in Honda PR... he (his department) apparently got advanced copies from Hyper Rev as a freebee.

As for English translation copies, no chance. Although I might publish something like it in the future...? (business opportunity:))

They don`t... only for the R32 and R34.

Anyway, the difference between an R32 GT-R V-spec and V-SpecII is... (feels like de ja vu):

The V-SpecII has different tires, Bridgestone Potenza R010 245/45ZR17 to be exact, a "V-SpecII" sticker on the righthand side of the bootlid, and the V-SpecII was available in Crystal White (326).

"Is that it?!" Your probably asking... Yes.

Apparently, Nissan wanted to use those 245/45 R010 Potenza`s with the release of the V-Spec, but they (the tires) weren`t available at that time. It just so happend that the V-SpecII is more of a "4 Years at the top of Group-A" commemorative model, rather than a vastly improved model over the V-Spec.

Is that an OK answer?:)

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
