Aus delivered R32GTR's had some things and different stuff, such as:

260KM dash

no speed limiter?

small rubber aerial on the roof near the rear windscreen

tail light wiring setup was different and indicators at the back were orange lens

20mm wider front seats

transfercase oil cooler and electric pump

number plate bracket wider and rear bar number plate recess wider to fit aus plates

side intrusion bars.

Thats all I can remember, there is probably more.

Also from around 1992 for JDM models headlights were a little different to earlier ones (parker light diffuser removed), side intrusion bars became standard and thats part of the reason why later GTR's were heavier than the 1989-1991 GTR's.

haha for fat aussies.

also a NISSAN badge on the bonnet

Yep for bigger butts lolz.

The headlights were wired up differently too for Aus delivered GTR's.....

So that when high beam was selected, low beam would stay on. 70% sure on that one.

Can anyone clarify?

re colours, there were only 2 models to come in exclusive colours in the GTR range, that is, no choice, you want this car you get this colour

NISMO edition - Gun Metal Grey

N1 - Crystal White

There were a couple of very limited release colours, but none that i know of which were exclusive other than the above

Also some small N1 facts

Windscreen washer bottle - due to no rear wiper, the design is slightly different and only houses one little pump where as the normal GTR's have 2, 1 for rear wiper, 1 for fronts

No radio control buttons on the dash, instead a blank cap in their place

Solid disk rotors instead of drilled

Front brake air guides

All the ABS wiring was left in, it was just the units and solid lines which were removed, and of course different master cylinder

Yep for bigger butts lolz.

The low beams do turn off when high beam is switched.

This is the chassis number & parts listing for the Australian delivered GTR's. Having sat my import next to a local delivered example I can confidently say that the seats are the same.

Also the aerial was at the front of the roof, not the back. It replaced the one in the windscreen - hence the different part number for that.

Wierd, random stuff they changed included the sun visors, adjustng the speed limiter and for some reason there is a listing for a jack.

Did you know that there were:

~Standard Cars = 40,390

~NISMO Group A Evolution = 560

~V-Spec = 1,453

~V-Spec II = 1,303

~N1 Race Version = 228

~43,930 in total produced of the 32 gtr

~Originally only 510 were suppose to be made to be within the rules of Japans Group A racing but demade was so stong that they released the model for unlimited production. Hence the 560 for the Nismo Group A total.

~The N1 doesn't have abs, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper, trunk carpet, and the use of light-weight headlights and were only produced with a crystal white paint.

~The V-spec models have brembo brakes, a retuned attesa system to the N1 and nismo options and they weigh 50kg more than the standard gtrs. The V-spec II also had 17" rims

~Production of the Gtr started out in May 22, 1989

~The first Gtr was produced in February 4, 1969 know as PGC10.

This is an awesome thread and should be sticky'd as well. Also the first link doesn't work OHY34H

Don't know why the link doesn't work now, pretty sure it did before... Anyways, look @ my sig under the pic for a direct link (should work i hope)

And its really interesting how much people know detailed facts :P keep up the discussions! I unfortunately know jack about R32's lol

There was one car that NISSAN regarded as the most technologically advanced car in the world. Mr Itoh, chief engineer of the GT-R Project set his sights on bettering that car.

DID YOU KNOW THAT it was the... ???

You are both right. Just remember why nissan claimed 206kw when in fact it was no where near the real output. The gentlemens agreement.

Fun Fact; Nissan Austrlaia claimed 205KW for the GTR, not 206KW as per Japan.

porsche 959?

Correct dear sir! ;)

Next Q...

DID YOU KNOW THAT the R32 GT-R had a quite different drag coefficient to R31 Skylines of the day, which had Cd ratings of 0.31 & 0.33 for the 2 door & 4 door cars respectively. What was the R32 GT-R's Cd?

0.40 for the 32 GTR

0.35 for the 33 GTR

jeez you guys are good ;)

Next Q...

DID YOU KNOW THAT the R32 GT-R weighed quite a deal more than the Sierra Cosworth RS500?

But, by how much approx?

Correct dear sir! :thumbsup:

Hmm, well without knowing where those number come from - I reckon they are hopelessly wrong. There is no way an R31's cd figure is that low.

330lb.

Must be reading the same "Brooklands Books" road tests.

hehe... "NO"... but another resource in haynes.co.uk - yes (which quoted 200kg difference depending on the setup)

but perhaps you can come up with a "DID YOU KNOW THAT...?" yourself jiffo from the Brooklands source?

Hmmm...

DID YOU KNOW THAT there was a nickname given to the stove-oven lights of the R32 (even tho' they first appeared on the KPGC110)?

My thoughts too...

But how can one argue?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
