hey rezz,

just trying to work out if all R32 GTR's come with a different colour lower lip?

Or is it a factory option...?

I was thinking that only the v spec's came with the diff colour lower lip but now i have a pic of a 89 GTR with diff colour lower lip can you please clear things up?

Also what about the lip on the rear spoiler the drift type one does it come standard on the vspec / vspec 2....

thanks Rezz...

Ok OAK, you're gonna hafta be a bit more specific...

Were you under the impression that all R32 GT-Rs except the V Specs came with color-coded lower front lips?

Also, the "drift type" rear spoiler? I guess you're talking about the little Nismo bootlid extension under the standard R32 GT-R rear spoiler?

Well, ALL R32 GT-Rs and V Spec I/IIs came with unpainted matt black ABS plastic lower lips, Nissan only painted the front bumper proper, not the lower lip. It's just that some owners paint the lower lip body color sometimes.

About the little bootlid extension, it came standard on the R32 GT-R Nismo. For the most part though, I think those Nismo bootlid extensions are just a generic copied item that some owners put on randomly... except for GT-R Nismo models of course.

rezz,

i was under the impression that only the v-spec and v-sepc 2 came with the diff colour lower lips...but i find it abit strange that nearly 85% of GTR's i have seen have the lower lip painted.... did nissan continue this with the r33 and r34 GTR range, since so many people were painting them.. i thought nissan would of stopped after the r32 range...?

i was asking bcoz im have pretty much decided im going to go for a R32 GTR Vspec and was trying to figure out what is stock and what isnt...apart from brembos and 17 bbs rims....

The bootlit spoiler is a nismo item.. ok that clears that up..guess ill have to look for one when the time is right and i have brought myself a 32

You're just lucky/unlucky I guess!:)

Yes, the lower lip went unpainted right through R32/33/34 GT-Rs. I have the "GT-R Memorial" documenting every minor change, option and special model that was produced.

The R32 GT-R V-Spec got:

The afore mentioned BBS 17x8JJ rims with 225/50 17 tires, the Brembo 324mm brake upgrade, quicker reaction ATTESA-ETS tuning, and metal compressor/exhaust wheels in the turbos. Colors: White, Dark Blue, Black, Silver, Gun-Grey Metallic, Red Pearl, Greyish-Blue Pearl.

The R32 GT-R, the V-Spec, and the V-Spec II were made alongside each other from Feb '94 through to Dec '94.

So, the R32 GT-R: released Aug '89, ended production in Dec '94

The R32 GT-R V-Spec: released Feb '93 through to Dec '94

And the R32 GT-R V-Spec II: released Feb '94 through to Dec '94

Rezz,

Any chance of seeing pics of the dark blue, red pearl and greyish-blue pearl..?

I have decided to go for a r32 GTR V spec as it seems to be the best bet, price wise and really you dont get much extra with the vspec2 ...What do you think is it worth the extra money over the standard?

1,453 V-spec and 1,303 V-specIIs were sold can you confrim this rezz....?

Also while your at it you got any idea's of the price range im looking at, 93 model atm in v spec form but if you could compare with the standard in same year i would appreciate it....

Also dont be shy with the pics...

Cheers!! ;)

OAK mate, think you could throw a coupla beers in the post?:P

Alright, pics:

Dark Blue...

32_003.jpg

Can't find a pic of the Greyish Blue Metallic... anybody have one?

Right now, I can only confirm that there were 6,204 R32 GT-R/GT-R V-Specs made in 1993, and 7,465 GT-R/V-Spec/V-Spec IIs made in 1994...

If I were going to get an R32 GT-R, I would DEFINATELY go for a V-Spec/V-Spec II... the ordinary R32 GT-Rs are cheap, but the Brembos and the BBSs are worth the higher price alone IMO.

For a good R32 V-Spec, you'd be looking at a minimum of 1,000,000 - 1,200,000 yen (A$12,175 to A$14,600) for a 70,000km, "decent" condition specimen... they double that price for mint condition ones. As opposed to a normal R32 GT-R which start at about 500,000 yen (A$6,088) for '89 models that have been driven into the ground. Thats why I say go for a '93/'94 if you're thinking about an R32 GT-R.

1 more question while you're on it Rezz, do you have the production dates for R32 N1s? I understand they are 93-94, can you confirm?
The series 1 R32 GT-R N1 started production in July '91 to August '91, then there was the model change to the series 2 where the N1 was made from August '91 through to February '93. Then there was the 3rd model change to the...errrrrm... series 3 where the "V-Spec N1" was made from February '93 to December '94... afaik. Now, they say that 500 were made, but how many that were made each successive year I don't know.

hey rezz,

great info buddy keep it coming!

Well i really like that dark blue colour..think it comes in a close 2nd now

1. black (always bet on black passanger 57!)

2. dark blue

3. silver

and yellow as a aftermarket colour....

Well Rezz my main reason for chosing the v spec was for the brembos, v spec sounded more appealing then your norm R32, as for the bbs rims not my cup of tea but the good thing is that now the car comes with 17's standard so you add some 18's without any problems! any idea how much those bbs rims are worth?

Also i would of thought the v spec 2 was made in less numbers thus bringing a much higher auction value and for that extra money you really arent getting more bang for your buck...imo..

a set of 18's from trail those tri 3 spokes would be nice on a r32 :);):(

Rezz a 6 pack!

Hi Rezz i have just bought a V-spec II what sort of prices are they commanding in japan and are they that sort after, also you said they came with steel compressor and exhaust wheels in the turbos this would obviously be the same for the Vspec II correct ? and are they the same spec as N1's turbos?

Heres one of the cheaper R32 V-Spec IIs getting about:

H202586120101010101B0001001L.JPG

1,980,000 yen. They go as high as 2,900,000 yen for 1,200km models!!

About the turbos, yes the V-Spec II has the metal turbine wheels, but they're not "N1" spec... just the same as normal GT-Rs.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
