Lol. My last post got all jacked up. I'm trying to find part numbers in FAST. Does anyone have a N1 chassis code?<br /><br />Sent from my SC-03D<br /><br />

That'd be it. Chef bought it for me a couple of months back. Just waiting on that all important comp plate. Car is based in NSW unfortunately.

Hope to have it out at a drive sometime this year.

Well done! Nice car. Enjoy it when the plate comes through. They're superb!

Does yours have a driver's airbag?

Hi Guys

V Spec II

Chassis number: BNR32 311842

Just got my mine through Iron Chef.

Car currently has 34,000km and is 100% stock except for Nismo pipes coming off the turbo.

Hopefully the car will be here and on the road in around 2 months.

Hey Mate

How did this car set you back if you dont mind me asking, you can pm me if you like thanks, i been thinking of getting one put prices are all over the place....thanks

yours is an awesome example .......

Hi,

Prices do vary but the really nice ones cost a fair bit more. V Spec's appear to command around $10K more than a GT-R in similar condition/kms.

Here's one that went through recently;

Mine was more than this due to the lower kms and better interior. The one above has a couple of mods, turbo timer, exhaust etc which I was hoping to avoid.

Good luck and let us know how you get on. ]

Nice!

With full Nismo Body Kit too!

I was told, also being a Black colour V-Spec II, it adds more value to the car.

Either due to the popularity / demand or the numbers that were made of the car.

That's debateable. If it is the case then it isn't the build numbers as there are other factory colours that are much rarer for VSPEC 1 &2.

Black is always popular though, so is the Gunmetal Grey as it is "The Original" R32 GTR colour.

Yeah, sure :)

I recently just spoke to a new owner of a Black V-Spec II and that's what he said...

Due to the popularity of people wanting a Black coloured one.

I get the impression that those N1/Nismo hood lips and boot spoilers are more trouble than they're worth - the steel structural inserts rust and 'blow' the surface. I kinda wished that mine had had them specified when it was delivered, but I'm glad it didn't now. The Nismo front bar though, that's different. I lurve the fact that mine has one ;)

I'm not a mad fan of the black though. Very hard to keep a black car looking clean, whereas my Gang Ray Metallic car can get really grotty and it still looks pretty good - until you get close!

Agreed. Black looks awesome when its well cared for and 100% clean. As soon as it rains or even gets dusty then its downhill from there.

I was very happy to get metallic grey.

It took me long enough to get around to doing this.. But here we go:

  • Model of car V-Spec II, Built mid '94 somewhere
  • 'Chassis No' code BNR32310112
  • 'Model' code from the chassis plate
  • Photo of the blue chassis plate that is fixed to the car in the driver's side of the engine bay
  • Where the car is located Located in Bathurst

My theory (which is highly theoretical, as far as theories go) is that the car may have a history as a pace car or similar, it has marks which appear to be from a light bar on the roof, it had harnesses, braided lines, bonnet pins, castor rods, Nismo body braces, twin plate, master cylinder stopper, HKS boost controller, hard piping kit, Nismo clutch slave and nismo dash. Also still had ceramic turbos, stock suspension, speed limiter, all interior in good nick, no scratches on the front lip etc. I have tried to find some form of evidence to back this up, but have found nothing other than what was on the car.. Either way, it is a bit rough, with clear coat coming off, and the paint on the bonnet is like sandpaper, but I wanted to own a V-Spec II for 10 years before I bought it, and it will never be for sale..

Oh, and there might be another GTR in the family..

That's awesome iplen - it does sound like a pace car. It looks fierce.

I reckon I remember another one of your posts somewhere. Isn't the R33 your Mum's?

And yes, how did you go against that Holden?

  • 2 weeks later...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
