are you sure its a v-spec II because it is missing its carbon bonnet and rear carbon diffuser also the rear v-spec II sticker looks suss its not sitting in the right spot its too far to the left on the rear bumber, did you run the vin number through the nissan fast software?

While that may send off warning signals there are other factors that may have lead to the sticker having to be re-added to the car. resprays, accident damage or such. Its also possible that the CF bonnet may have been switched out...there are extra reasons for everything =b

As long as hes happy with it, should be all that really matters.

Cant be any worse than most of the GTS-ts in melbourne having GTR badges fitted to their boots.

Half of which are probably stolen from real GTRs...damn badge thieves.

Its true, my bonnet is sold cos i wanted the ztune one so alot of people will have the same thoughts and yeah the rear bar was probably resprayed due to a crappy carpark driver (my front bar has been sprayed already and needs another one again; damn careless carparks grrrrr.)

Thanks for the backup =D

But yeah there are any number of reasons it could be like that.

yes thats pathetic

theres a black R34 GT-T with a GT-R badge at the boot

the whole car looks nothing like a GT-R

to me thats degrading the GT-R image

good luck fitting the wheels!

anyway, VERY nice car Andy. wish i could afford one myself!

Haha, nah, it's a little joke between Andy and I. Told him not to put crappy wheels on the GTR! We know each other because of our STi ownership (ex for me).

From what he told me, the diffuser was stolen in Japan, and he's ordered a Top Secret diffuser as a replacement. The abscence of the carbon bonnet is a mystery..

i was thinking more along the lines of the STi being 5x100 and they actually wouldnt fit the GTR :P

+1 for who cares about where the parts have gone. he is happy, thats all that matters!

exactly right.

  • 2 weeks later...

Andy sent me a couple of pictures of his car, and i noticed something strange:

His rear diff doesn't look like mine. Is it possible that his car is a non Vspec (without active diff)?

We're just trying to work out which exact model his car is. Is has Vspec II interior, but no bonnet or diffuser. Also his MFD doesn't display intake and exhaust temp, which i believe is featured on Vspec's...Hope i'm wrong for his sake!

looks like it is not a v-spec II, the black interior is shared between the standard and v-spec II models from october 2000 onwards as are the N1 rear disc rotors so this is not really a way to tell the difference ,the MFD should have 7 parameters for a v-spec/v-specII/m-spec where as the standard model eg non v-spec will only have 5 parameters also check the tacho the 1 to 3 on the v-spec models will be compressed this is if it is the orginal speedo ,you can also check the code on the build plate look at the 6th letter it should start with GGJPRW the W means its a v-spec/v-spec II etc if it has a V instead of the W it is a non v-spec model

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
