Hi guys after much waiting I now finally have my R32 V-Spec 2 at home all safe and sound!

Car is in excellent condition and drives very well, There are few minor modifications but all in all quite standard.

There are however the following things that I am unsure of. If anyone knows what these little things mean please let me know.

1, Valley cover on the engine says "2.6 24v POWERED BY NISMO" on it. Standard colour and everything matching the cam covers.

2, Piping on the passenger side of the engine bay where it normally says "TWIN TURBO" now has the word PRIVILEGE on it.

3, Front duct in the bar says nismo in the center of it

4, There are braided lines running to what looks to be a transmision cooler (looks very standard)

If you have any idea what any of this means please let me know. No big deal just out of interest. Car goes very very well but still feels standard.

Thanks for your help.

Well done on finding a V-Spec II.

Could just be the an aftermarket cover the previous owner put on or NISMO in Japan may have tuned it... Any Nismo Build Plates bolted in the engine bay?

Pics would be great

2, Piping on the passenger side of the engine bay where it normally says "TWIN TURBO" now has the word PRIVILEGE on it.

First time I have hear of PRIVILEGE... A tuning garage in Japan, maybe..?

3, Front duct in the bar says nismo in the center of it

Nismo Front Bar?

4, There are braided lines running to what looks to be a transmision cooler (looks very standard)

Are the braided lines siliver in colour? Could have been up graded to braided lines / hoses as they are stronger...

If you have any idea what any of this means please let me know. No big deal just out of interest. Car goes very very well but still feels standard.

Also has nismo front and rear strut braces

Always good to have those.

Nismo Gauges and a few other bits and pieces

That's a nice Nismo upgrade.

So your car must have some nice Nismo upgrades here and there... Still post pics and let us have a look.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
