as the title says, how do i tell if my R32 GTR is a v-spec or m-spec ? i would of assumed the VIN would tell so but seems not.. all ive been told is the V-spec had brembo brakes a different ALTESSA system and different tyres... soo whats stopping anyone from just mocking up a M-spec as a "GENUINE" Vspec.... ?

surely there has to be a way to tell if your GTR is a GENUINE V-spec or not..

anyone know how ?

cheers

There's no such a thing as an R32 GT-R Mspec. Only an R32 GTR, R32 GTR Vspec and R32 GTR Vspec II, among the special Nismo and N1 versions.

The R32 GTR had 16" wheels as standard and Nissan Brakes. The Vspec had 17" BBS wheels as standard, and Brembo Brakes. The Vspec II had slightly bigger tyres and a Vspec II sticker. The other option is to take your chassis number and have someone put it into Nissan FAST where it will tell you if it's a Vspec model or not.

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
