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

Released in 1993

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

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

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
