It is clearly a nice example however I'm surprised how much the centre console gauge needles are faded. Unless the car lived a lot of its life outdoors hence Sun fade.

I know it's a small detail but it is a tell tale sign of how the car lived it's life, call me crazy but these are things I look at, amongst other wear items like foot pedals etc

Hi Guys,

I have a new addition to the register. It's a 1994 Vspec 2, auction grade 4, imported through Ben of J-Spec Imports.

  • Model of car - V-Spec II
  • Build date - need help with that :)
  • 'Chassis No' code - BNR32 - 313373
  • 'Model' code - KBNR32RBFS8 AA
  • Photo of the blue chassis plate (Will have it uploaded soon)
  • Where the car is located - Sydney!

Car is scheduled to arrive Australia in November, so hopefully it'd be on the road soon after that. Can't wait!

A few photos to start with,

Make sure you send me and Terry a PM once it's complied and we can catch up for a coffee.

You don't often see 3 V-Spec 2's side by side.

Any other V-Spec Sydney owners would be most welcome too.

Bob.

Build Date = October, 1994.

Looks clean for its age :)

Thanks. AFAIK it's a pretty standard vspec 2 but I do hope to be surprised and find a Nismo built N1 engine under there. :)

Got the Auction Sheet / Dealer Car Info?

Yes definitely Bob. I'm actually going to pick up a N1 bumper from Terry this weekend. Would be nice to meet a few more Vspec owners eventually.

Thanks for the build date. Yes got the auction sheet here. Will upload it later tonight.

I've been thinking about putting into storage the original wheels, radio and even steering wheel as soon as car lands. :)

Cheers from one OCT 94 to another.

I took the steering wheel off (replaced by a demountable Momo with a quick release and lock cover - strictly speaking not legal but excellent theft protection) I am also in the process of organising a replacement gear knob and handbrake cover and longer term looking at a replacement drivers seat and/or seat cover.

This will allow me to put most of the original 'wearable' items into storage and will give me the ability to return my car to 'fully stock' if I ever sell (have even kept the little brass boost restrictor which was removed ;-)

I am keeping the wheels on as I like them and have no intention of changing them for other rims but am even considering getting a spare rim as 'insurance' for a nasty scrape or similar......

Anyhow - have fun with it - the waiting is the hardest part ;-)

Cheers

I found excellent+ stock mats (really, really hard to find) and put them in storage... and installed black Nismo ones.

Other than that I'm slowly procuring new mouldings and rubbers for the exterior and I'll have a respray done at some stage - two dogs tried to get in the driver's side window once and scratched crap out of the door and adjoining panels, then I had two 'bumper corner scrapes' in carparks :wacko:

Something interesting that I was discussing with someone yesterday - mine had about 65,000km on it two years ago but hadn't been driven much. It had had all of it's scheduled services, but only very occasionally driven. Now it has 95,000km on the clock and with thorough and diligent maintenance along the way it is driving better now (engine and drivetrain) than it did when I bought it. It actually keeps getting better. Love it.

I don't mind putting km's on - after waiting for 20 years I have no intention of ever selling my 'hero car' and I thoroughly enjoy driving it. It's certainly the coolest car on the school run most days.

My daughter loves a ride in the GTR ;-)

Thanks for the ideas Baron. Will have a closer look at the wearable items when the car is here. I hope the original seats under the leather covers are in top condition, in which case, they would go to storage as well. Maybe replace with R34GTR seats or some JDM items?

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
