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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
