Hi All,

Just a quick note to say g'day.

Im new to this forum and in the process of researching the R32 gtr in the hope of finding one in the near future.

I have a couple of questions if anyone can help, Ive tried the search option but appear to be struggling to find the answers.

So here goes:

How can i identify if an r32 gtr is a factory V-Spec? Does the chassis number confirm this?

Is there a V-spec I and V-spec II on the r32?

Was the V-spec a factory option.

When did the V-Spec first come out.

Any help or links would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

The vin can tell you, there is a FAST search thread on here somewhere.

There are both Vspecs and Vspec2's.

They are a factory build car.

I think the vspec first showed in 91.

*waits for the usual suspects to show up

What ^^ he said, run a VIN / FAST number check.

V-Spec: Standard GTR with,

- Brembo brakes

- Retuned ATTESA E-TS system

- 17" BBS wheels with 225/45/17 tyres.

Released in 1993

V-Spec II: Same as a V-Spec but with wider tyres 245/45/17.

Released in 1994.

the correct information you need is on the model number. you will find a 7,A standard Gtr. Num 8 V spec II. No number v spec. this is the 3rd to last digit on the model number not the vin number. Thats the only real way of knowing what you own. As I own a standard Gtr with brembo's

check this site

http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html

or get onto the "Fast my vin" Topic and get one of the guys there to punch it in for you.

other differences include

*10mm lower suspension (apparently)

*retuned Attessa (More front Bias)

*Active LSD (rear diff housing is finned for cooling where as standard is not)

*Slightly larger Brembos than standard "Nissan" brakes

*V-specI 1453 built in 1993 (unsure exact months)

*V-specII 1303 built up until Aug 1994 when R32 GTR production ceased.

*ONLY difference is tyre width, wheels are even still the same width...

*Stickers..

*Price...

If you are going to hunt down a V-spec I or II, be prepared to spend extra for the stickers, and do yourself a favor look at it as restoration and a toy, they are fetching some money in Japland now

Or do everyone else who owns one a favor and write it off to increase value of ours...:D

this seems like a decent thing

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
