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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
