R32 Gt-R V-Spec & V-Spec Ii Register (Inc N1 V-Spec & V-Spec Ii Models)


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Bob.

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.

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.

    • He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...
    • It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.
