Howdy all.

I am about to become an R33 GT-R owner :wassup: and at this point only have limited knowledge on the cars. I have looked at the car I want to buy - owner says it is a V Spec but it has no decal on the rear. Is there any other way to tell the car is or is not a V Spec.

Thanks

Yeah, as Leewah said, fins on the diff casing, plus you can see the extra pump for the active diff pump gear tucked up on the right of the car behind the rear wheel arch and the line going from it to the diff. There should also be a A-LSD light on the tacho. Those two thing are probably the easiest ones to pick. They have different shocks and sit 10mm lower or something too, but you could never pick that. The attessa computer is different, the attessa-pro, don't know how to pick the difference externally. And apparently a V-spec GTR always has a "W" as part of its Chassis identification tag whereas a normal GTRs have an "O". V-specs also have different brake ducts.

Most of that info came from an article in a HPI mag. Should be good. They all checked out on my V-spec which I got to see for the first time yesterday at the compliance workshop.

Can email the article if you like, too big to post here and if I reduce it, its too hard to read.

      Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.

      You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

      I should have prefaced all of this with "I'd really like to not pull anything out of the car for this"

      Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
