I am currently looking at buying a 1993 r32 gtr vspec. i just want to know if and how to make sure its a legit vspec?! Has brembo brakes yes, its navy blue in colour; is that a factory colour? Is there a way to tell using the vin or model numbers?

if someone could help would be much appreciated!

As above, have someone run it through FAST. However looking at the model code you've given us, this should come up as a legitimate V-Spec, as they, and the V-Spec II models ended with RBFS as opposed to RXFS on a regular R32 GT-R. Midnight blue was a factory colour for the R32 GT-Rs. Quite a rare find, especially in the V-Spec variant.

Well hopefully its legit. the colour turns out to be TH1 which is Dark blue pearl.

Which is a legit factory colour.

But Grey / Black / White / Sliver were more common hence a rarity seeing a V-Spec II in Dark Blue Pearl.

From Hadouken's links, my understanding:

The GTR you are looking at has Model Number: KBNR32RBFS NA

Judging from the Decode Chart, the "B" = V-Spec.

If it were a non V-Spec the Model Number should read: KBNR32RXFS, it will have a "X" (Example Only).

Then there is "NA"... With further searching I found:

N = Rear Spoiler Less

A = Standard

Meaning it came standard with no spoiler...

You might want to post a pic of the actual Blue Plate from the car you are looking at and post it here to clarify exactly if it's "NA" at the end.

Hi JB4U33,

Nice find. If you happen to buy it be sure to add your details to the register of R32 V-Specs at http://www.skylinesa...spec-ii-models/

Hadouken gave you a link to my thread about V-spec vs standard GT-R differences (http://www.skylinesa...s-advice-to-me/) - FYI I'm about to send a follow up letter to Nissan Japan regarding the differences between the ATESSA control module for the V-spec and standard GT-R. Watch that space.

Cheers!

Mike

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
