R32 V-spec Ii At Edward Lees

So I had seen this car advertised and was pretty keen to go have a look at the build plate and perhaps suggest they change the advertising... However, it even has the V-Spec II model code on the firewall... I am not suggesting it is Edward Lees doing the dodgy here, they may well ne innocent victims but if you were going to this much trouble to make a $18000 (est as a non v-spec II) car into a $22000 wouldnt you at least try to get a car that was built the right year, or claim it as a V-spec I?

Adding a set of R33 Brembos is not hard, even V-spec production did not start until 4/93 pretty sure... Why do people like this who should know better advertise a car that could have never existed? Some poor bloke is going to buy that car and be over the moon at getting 1 of 1303 V-spec IIs for a steal, then in years to come find out he has been shafted (probably should have investigated it earlier, but some people still trust car dealers :nyaanyaa:

isn't it also likely that they just got the build month wrong and the other info is right? unless I misunderstand and you have 'fasted' the vin they provided and found the model year? bear in mind though that fast is not always 100% correct. I have even seen people with different copies get different build dates for the same chassis number...

ps, all the VS1 and VS2 BBS wheels are 8.5inch. :nyaanyaa:

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
