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;

http://prestigemotorsport.com.au/stock/show_car.php?id=875

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...

I think I can post here too now.....

As of yesterday....

  • Model of car V-Spec II, Built Oct 94
  • 'Chassis No' code BNR32313245

Also sourced from the Iron Chef (I think i can blame Cherry Racer - they teased me with a picture of his car as one of their recent imports ;-)

Short details:

Silver

Stock

Single owner

17,300 kms (full documented service history)

Grade 5A at auction

Obviously still in Japan so here's the auction snap (already plastered in other part sof the forum - but just so happy right now ;-)

    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
    • Great weekend and event. Open fire at the caravan park, perfect weather all day and a great feed and a couple of drinks at at awesome country pub.
