Well there ya go. It is dodgy, i have taken it of as the bolts were buggered, and the spoiler was lifting on the left hand side.

Thanks for clearing that up..

Cool! Mine has the airbag too, and the wing as standard - KBNR32RBFSN AA

According to the VIN decoder that I use it should have the air bag but NOT the rear wing.

It may have been added later on.

Bob, what VIN decoder do you use mate?

I use a couple of decoders because not one is super accurate.

There is this one - https://sites.google.com/site/tyndago/gt-rinformationplatebreakdown

And this one - http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html

They both have small errors you need to work with.

Just to clarify....

The rear spoiler was NOT an option, nor was the rear window wiper.

They were both standard fitment however order you car without them fitted hence why only the "delete" option is recordered on the build plate.

I hope that clears things up.

Bob.

Thanks Bob, it was written badly on my behalf, what I was trying to say is that I never knew that it was possible to have it not fitted.

LOL....... Just re-read my post. I think I need to go back to school! There should be an inserted "you could" order you car without them fitted hence why only the "delete" option is recordered on the build plate.

Hey boys, good news.......... I bought a Silver V-Spec 2 today.

Will post up all the relevant details once I pick her up later in the week.

Cheers,

Bob.

Really? Wow! Cool!

Is that your third R32 now mate?

Not quite, it's the third one I've owned but I sold my JDM back in November..

I looked at all options including other marques and came to the conclusion that R32 GT-R's are the car for me.

This car I've just bought has had a fortune spent on it but still needs a bit bit TLC.

My objective is for it to look pretty much 100% stock (bar exhaust) but for it to have 325+ rwkw's.

It's already been dynod at 286 but I think there is a fair bit more left in it with the right upgrades and tuning.

Cheers and I'll post pics soon.

Bob.

Hi Bob,

Is that the Silver Vspec2 with the coloured BBS wheels recently advertised on Carsales in NSW?

If it is the one I am thinking, it looked like a clean unit with some modifications, in fact if it we're in Vic I would have inspected it with a view to a sale.

I take it you will be enjoying the Vspec2 whilst the ADM sleeps?

Yes Tony........

It's had the original wheels refurbished beautifully but painted dark (gunmetal) grey which I don't like.

I'm going to have to redo them in the original silver.

You are also correct on the ADM front.

I'm happy to drive that 3-4 times per year and keep the mileage down.

This V-Spec 2 will be my weekend fun car.

Sounds great mate - just like mine. 100% stock except for an 'age correct' HKS exhaust from the front pipes back. I've never had it on a dyno. Let me know how you go and what you do.

How many kms has she done?

Mine's just gone 85,000km - it gets used most days. I'm never going to sell it so I don't really mind. One day we'll get another car and the use of the GT-R will diminish, until then I get to enjoy the driving.

Hi Mike,

Car has done 106,000kms. All the odometre digits line up perfectly so I'm hoping the mileage is genuine.

It's got brand new Bilstein struts and shocks, Lowered King Springs, Whiteline sway bars and a heap of new bushes all throughout the suspension.

Turbos are stock, 3" exhaust with hi flow cats, Nismo MAFs, Nistune, Splitfire coils, Koyorad 53mm lightweight aluminum radiator, Sard 720cc injectors, Walbro fuel pump, Metal Intercooler hard pipe kit. HKS EVC-6 boost controller, Excedy HD clutch.

Recently had a major service so all the belts and water pump are new.

Premium Alpine system with amps etc etc under factory covers though!

I get it at lunchtime tomorrow.

Cheers,

Bob.

Any pics and updates bob ? :D

Yep....... Picked up the car at lunchtime and took it for a spin down to Unigroup Engineering. It's booked in for tune and some cosmetic engine bay treatment in two weeks time.

Right after that it goes to my panel shop where they will work their magic and redo the wheels in their original silver not the stupid gun metal grey they currently are. The front needs work. Ridiculous daytime running lights will go and screw holes filled, bumper repaired and resprayed and lower bib spoiler will be sanded, prepped, primed and colour coded to the rest of the bar.

Goes great, I'm thrilled at this stage.

Here are some pics......

Nice car mate. Is the front lip bare plastic, or painted dark grey. If it is bare plastic, I personally would leave it stock. I think colour coded front lips were an option, and raw grey plastic was standard. Cheers and congrats on the great car.

It's been painted a very dark grey.......Yes, it should be a natural unpainted grey but I think with the N1 inserts it will look the best painted.

I considered buying a new one but at $450 it's just not worth it. The existing one does haves scratches so at least it can be filled and sanded, then painted. The only other option is to paint it the original natural grey. I'm still thinking about that.

Bob.

Yeah if it has already been painted, there is not much you can do other than colour match it to the car, or buy a new one from Nissan. I personally like the unpainted raw plastic lips. But i guess that is all personal preference.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
