I reckon this one is pretty darn original.

Interesting. In your opinion, is it worth that kind of dough? I've recently seen a Aust delivered example in mint original condition for $65k (ish) with around 100k klms on it.

Well it ultimately depends on what you want I guess. Is it a true collectable? I would probably say no. A V Spec, V Spec II or N1 would be a real collectable.

I guess like any car that dominated a large race event will make a mark in the history of motorsport, will always be considered as a special car and will end up being a collectors item.

V-Spec / V-Spec II, you could say are collectibles as only a limited production line of them where made and that was the whole reason calling it a V-Spec = Victory Specification, to celebrate the success of the GTR in both Group N and Group A racing.

But I would give it a few more years before seeing it as more of a collectors item.

But I see the N1 being more of a collectors item as only a very limited production was made of 228 units (Approx) due to it being so rare.

Ive got a stock, save for radio and floor mats, r32 gt-r vspec, standard right down to the stock exhaust, airbox, wheels, and ride height.

Bloody hard cars to find unmolestered.

Dude i agree i started looking for mine about a year ago and found one with genuine kms , there rare but still around , its great your still rolling around with a stock exhaust , its harder to stay stock than modify . :)

Also trying to illustrate that there is a rich history of Nissans being raced here in Australia and that they are worth a bit of coin because less than 100 were sold to the public. (R32 GTR)

Just like the fords and Holden during the earlier years, they too fetch a fair bit of coin, because they were legends in Australian Group A motorsport and only so many were produced and sold to the public

That’s my thoughts anyway.

Just a thought if you want to run in the historic class of Targa Tasmania, say 10 years from now, will the Jap imports qualify?

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
