Hi Guys,

I am just about to become the owner of a very tidy 1993 GTR VSpec and wanted to know the exact differences between the standard model & VSpec model. I know the VSpecs are supposed to be relatively rare, but for what reason? Probably due to the limited numbers Nissan built, but what extra goodies did they actually come with over the standard model?

Thanks in advance.

BBS wheels, forgot about that.

17x8 (same set as Stagea 260RS IIRC).

Gauges and attesa are same I'm sure, not that you can tell the difference.

Brembo Front and Rear Calipers.

17 x 8 +30 BBS Wheels (Check the centre of the wheels for correct wheel sizing)

V-Spec Sticker on the boot lid.

A retuned ATTESA E-TS system.

In short not much. They are however pretty cool, especially if you keep them bone stock and clean.

Also, there is another post on here where someone gets a reply from Nissan regarding the differences. They state ATTESA is the same as the standard model.

Stiffer suspension... I see.

And yes of course, bigger tyres, to fit on to biggers wheels.

Ok, so looks like the coolest thing is saying I have a VSpec?!?! Lucky I think thats pretty cool;) Pick it up Saturday and will begin the process of cleaning out my funds to build an immaculate GTR!!! Oh make that, a R32 GTR VSpec;)

Thx Guys!!

"...in February 1993 the GT-R V-spec (for Victory) emerged wearing 17" BBS mesh wheels(225/50/17) covering larger Brembo brakes. The clutch actuation changed from a push to a pull system, the car had the standard rear differential, the electronic rear differential did not show up until the R33 Vspec. A year later the V-Spec II appeared with a new sticker and wider tires (245/45 17)..."

Wiki is king.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
