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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
