Just quick question or three:

How much did you pic your V-Specs up for and when and how?

R32 GTR under the old "SEVS"? Private import?

What are the differences between v-spec II N1 and a v-spec II.

I'm looking to buy one mid year but i don't won't to another wait another 3-4 years under the 15 year rule- (which will probably disapper this year)?

Hopefull I pick one up in OZ or under the current SEVS.

Thanks

V-Spec II N1 is the same as the GTR N1 + the V-Spec II upgrades (Brakes, ETS pro, Suspension)

The N1 has no rear wiper, no ac, no stereo..(all luxuries gone so to speak, more of a race car.) but they do have better turbos.

Actually it's the other way around...v-spec cars DON'T have fins on the diff cover.   But that's not a reliable guide either as  some late production non-v-spec R32 GTR's also came without the diff fins.

Wrong-V Specs DO have the finning on the differential housing.It has been done many a time that these diff's make their way onto non V Specs as either an "upgrade"(the "extra cooling" offered by the fins is usually offset by the twit who jacks the rear of the car up with a centre jack and snap most of these fins off...).Standard GTR's DON'T have the finned diff' cover.Aside from that...

The R32 GT-R V-Spec got:

The aforementioned BBS 17x8JJ rims with 225/50 17 tires, the Brembo 324mm brake upgrade, quicker reaction ATTESA-ETS tuning, and metal compressor/exhaust wheels in the turbos. Colors: White, Dark Blue, Black, Silver, Gun-Grey Metallic, Red Pearl, Greyish-Blue Pearl.

The R32 GT-R, the V-Spec, and the V-Spec II were made alongside each other from Feb '94 through to Dec '94.

So, the R32 GT-R: released Aug '89, ended production in Dec '94

The R32 GT-R V-Spec: released Feb '93 through to Dec '94

And the R32 GT-R V-Spec II: released Feb '94 through to Dec '94

Other differences i believe were the computer, suspension upgrades including torsion bars, push pull type gearbox.

Difference between Vspec and Vspec II was that the supsenion was set for Le Mans on Vspec II.

...THIS is spot on! Thanks KBNR32! Also the V Spec and V Sec II has the second,smaller,rear boot spoiler,the lip on the bonnet and an extra lower lip on the front 'bar(or splitter,as some call it). All this info' was stuff I delved into at great length when I was working out which model and specification of GTR I would put into my garage.Guess what I brought?!

I thought a Power FC would increase fuel consumption.

Just quoting what the trip meter tells me.lol.

How much did you guys pay for your v-specs and when did you purchase them, just curious as from what I have seen a v-spec II in japan can still cost as much as a cheaper r34.

I have an aussie spec r32 gtr and it too has a finned diff cover. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it just a normal diff with a finned cover to try and improve cooling for australian conditions?

I was always under the impression that the small rear boot spoiler and the bonnet lip (splitter) were Nismo only..... and that they could have been an option for buyers off the showroom floor.

When i bought my car it came with Nismo side skirts and read Nismo small lip... no splitter, i also dont have the N1 intercooler ducts on the front bumper bar... and these were optional as well to my knowledge.

I bought my 93 vspec just over 12 montsh ago... genuine 72K... Nismo silver...Nismo body kit, HKS dragster exhaust.. 3.5 inch.. 4 inch tip, with dumps. PWR intercooler, twin plate clutch, Apexi power intake, mines ECU. 3K sound system. HKS boost gauge. Running 1 bar ATM.

Paid low 40's .. and didnt mind paying the premium for a rare vspec.. with all the assosicated upgrades.

PLanning to upgrade turbos, injectors Nismo 555cc (already purchased) fuel pump and regulator, Apexi PFC and boost controller, Z32 airflowmeters, coilpack, Larger intercooler with piping.

Paint Rocker cover.. Nismo silver(same as car).. with R34 GTR rocker cover plate.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
