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.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
