Hey guys,

I just had a quick look along paramatta road and saw this

http://www.japlinkmotors.com.au/zoom.php?id=137

They have $28k on it, but pretty much offered it up for $22k without me even haggling!? so, not sure

if that means there's something wrong with it or what... I did spot some over spray on the drivers side skirt.

Totally original, including exhaust, no dash bubbles etc

Will go back tomorrow when I have more time to look properly.

Think I'll cancel the inspection on the one I've been looking at, I need to put more time into looking.

No, it was almost dark, so I'll go back tomorrow.

Mate, that's the last thing I want to do - spend more cash the second I buy it!

Is there something wrong with the standard ones? or you mean for more power?

Looks neat. Did you take it for a test drive?

And if it has original turbo's, I'd be replacing them with some fresh garretts!

Things to check:

*Model Code, must end in AA to be a V-spec I or II (link from "Babyskyline" http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html )

*Build date must 1993 for V-spec I, 1994 for V-spec II

*Should have a finned rear diff housing (easy and common to change though apparently)

*Brembos (again easy to add)

*Rust around boot, inside wheel wells.

*Amount of black paint on the plenum, (Refer photo, the less black paint the more it has been flogged)

*Trim around the rear side windows, if it does not fit, it has had body work

* if this is all good then I will look forward to seeing your V-SpecII next to mine at the R32 21st anniversary cruise!

Thanks Ian!

Forgot the photo after all that!!! No worries, spent a long time looking for mine,

don't bother looking at the speedo for kilometres,

*pedal pads getting worn and leather around the handbrake/gearstick cracking happen around 100k

*as far as turbos go refer to my reply in your other thread, Timing belt would be the thing I would worry about more.

Mate, are you sure that Chassis plate link is correct?

Because if it is, according to the plate on this car, the car should be white, not silver!

Hmmm, silver V spec II - only colour they come in, with a chassis plate for a white car?

Is there anyone who can verify the paint codes? it should be BLO - not KLO

Its definitely suspect! also convenient that the last few letters are scraped off the ID number

Its actually the '8' though that designates V-Spec not the AA and it does appear to have an '8' after the S

but am I wrong, or were there no white V Specs made?

Doesn't add up.

Plenums can easily be repainted and stock gearknob/leather surrounds are easily changed too...

Edit: Nice spot braddock. Vin switcharoo?

The number, or the whole plate?

This is form the "what to look for thread" This plate was definitely etched... not engraved, but not print smooth either

The BLUE Nissan Build Plate should have the details PRINTED on it... i.e. If you run your fingers over the details printed on it, it should be smooth. IT SHOULD NOT BE ENGRAVED... If it's engraved, it has a fake Nissan Build Plate with a fake Chassis Number. These are forged and put on stolen cars with a new and legitimate chassis number.

This BLUE Nissan Build Plate *should* also have two white plastic rivet-like fasteners holding it on... If they're missing, ask yourself why. The Build plate should NEVER be removed, unless perhaps for a full respray including engine bay...

Lol, the vin still looks suspect though..

Just the scratch on the model number where it matters for a VSPEC II.

Run the Vin through nissan fast? That'll let you know for sure.

Every standard color was available in V-spec II, the pop rivets holding the build plate on look mighty strange too...

same thing as you were thinking, does any one have the body # will ask to someone in japan to verify this. The bumper insert are after market and not a stock Vspec item.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
