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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
