For every ones info. I replaced the V Spec II sticker on my car, with a genuine Nissan sticker. It was super expensive, but aside from that, the sticker is shaped to match the corner of the back boot like a template. This means that you can use the corners and edges of the boots to get the sticker in the exact factory position. Pretty sweet. I was surprised.

Just checked my spare sticker (my original is just showing a tiny amount of peel on one corner....) - you are right - how clever of them......

Cheers

PS That Edward Lee Video should be pinned somewhere as a "must see" for anyone who ever considers buying a car from that guy, with annotations about all the misleading statements.......

Good luck this weekend Bob! :D At the very least I'm sure you will have fun!

Yep had fun but my times were ..........OK????????

My best 1/4 mile was 13.399 (slip attached) but my best terminal speed was 178.94 kph a couple of runs later (111mph).

With that speed I should have been well into the 12's but my 0-30' times are horrible.

I just can get it off the line. I tried it in 2WD mode by pulling the fuse but that was worse!!!!!!

I just sat there and smoked the tyres. :closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes::closedeyes:

Anyway, I flogged a few of my mates in stock HSV's and GT Falcons (mid to low 14"s)!

Cheers,

Bob.

Its all in tyre pressure Bob. Need to be 15psi from memory, can't remember exactly but it's a super low pressure.

Once that is set, 2nd gear burn out in rwd mode then flick to awd, on the limiter and release the clutch...when it hooks up you will be shocked what g's these cars can pull on take off.

Mine did a flat 13 when it was stock as a rock...won't get much better than that although I've heard they run a PB 12.8

Thanks Marko,

Modern Motor (April 1990 issue) ran a 13.1 stock........ That's the best I've seen in any publication. Most run around 13.7.

My tyres were set at 27psi for the fronts and 22 psi for the rears...... Guess I stuffed up on that one.

I normally run them at 34 and 30 on the road.

Was pleased with the terminal speed though.

Bob.

At 111mph it's not stock and probably making closer to 270kw at the wheels and should be doing flat 12s or even into the 11s

100% correct........ Unigroup dyno'd it at 271.6 rwkw.

Bob.

what is not stock on the car Bob?

Bar the exhaust, (3.5" front Pipe, 3" Hi Flow Cat, 3.25 Rear pipe, 3 and Hiflow rear muffler) everything you CAN'T see.......

  • Nistune
  • Sard 720cc injectors
  • Lager Walbro fuel pump
  • HKS Boost Controller
  • Splitfire coils
  • Excedy HD Clutch

nice. The Walbro pump is not to noisy?

No....... The exhaust must drone it out!

A mate of mine had a Brock Commodore VK Group A that was tricked up with a Walbro pump and that was horrendously noisy so I know what you mean.

That's still very respectable, and at least you had fun... that's the main part!

How were you launching the car Bob? These things need a little tough love from the start line, you might feel bad in doing it but it's what she's made for :) There's absolutely more to be had from your car, your 60 foot time of 2.1s could come down to 1.6 to 1.8 seconds with a bit of practice - I'm not a drag racing expert by any stretch of the imagination but that little bit shaved off the front end often seems to translate to a larger amount shaved off at the other end.

Well done in any event, at least you came out the winner against the HSVs and FPVs! :)

  • 1 month later...

So just an update on my gtr,

Installed new timing belt, HKS cam gears, water pump etc,

Bought a power fc and some hks 550cc injectors.

I had a second hand apexi avcr so I just used the boost solenoid and wiring and converted it to my power fc.

Got the car back from the tuner today and made 265kw's on 1.1bar boost!

Pretty happy and the car feels a hell of alot more alive than before!

Hey guys,

I've been off sau for a year or two. Sure we used to have another rare register with a good record of vpsecs and n1s? I'm probably just lost tho, lol.

Anyway adding for the community, in Brisbane with a 1994 Vspec II N1. Unfortunately not very standard! :-)

Cheers

Michael

Fortunately, Australia has acquired 2x BNR32 V-Spec II N1 in recent times.

Congratulations to you Michael as well.

We'd like to grab them before Canada's timeline permits...

Last six digits on mine are -311603

It's still awaiting compliance.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
