How can you tell if your GTR is a V-Spec?

[Topaz]

I saw some british GTR documentary a while ago about guys who imported them and racing etc...and I think that thte GTR V-Spec models had fins on either the rear diff or something to do with oil catchment?

is that right?

mine has fins on the rear diff by the way, but no indication of V-Spec

[7heavn]

ID tag tells all , end of the chassis number on a normal r32 GTR end in AA

[Topaz]

so a V-Spec would say...?

[PSI_GTSII]

so a V-Spec would say...?

Vspec:

BNR32004698

Regular:

BNR32004698AA

I think all R32GTRs have cooling fins on the rear diff housing

[Topaz]

PSI_GTSII; you've just contradicted 7heavn!

his post says that normal GTR's have the AA....

[siksII]

fins on the rear diff definetly mean it is a vspec there should also be a hydraulic line going to the diff and u should have the alsd light on the dash

btw. u should just search this has been covered a million times.

[Amaru]

All R32 GTR's have a finned rear diff cover. That check is only valid for R33's.

shouldn't the V-Spec/V-Spec II sticker on the back also be a give away

[7heavn]

AA is normal GTR

Mine for example is ZN

Z=vpsec

N=N1

Fixed

It was what I meant to write...just didnt happen that way

And if I stick a V-Spec ricy sticker on my GTR it becomes a V-Spec?

its not ricy, its what the factory would of put on there to indicate to the public that this is no ordanary gtr.

:sadam:

[Topaz]

ok mine does have the AA at the end so its a normal GTR

damn, I thought I was onto a winner there

its a 1993 model so I thought it might-a-bin a V-Spec

I think his point was that just because a car has a V-Spec sticker does not make it V-Spec - you can buy the stickers and put them on.

Same as you could go to Autobarn, buy a GTR badge and stick it on an GTS - but it doesn't make it a GTR.

You follow??

[MidnightGTR]

vspecs are over-rated

[SKYLINED]

Yep, the rear diff housing has fins on the 33 vspec, well acording to Andy Middlehurst anyway ;-)

[psybic]

They aren't that much different. Its the same as like the difference between a VT or a or VT series 2 commodore ( if that ).

Just newer and a few revisions. I have an N1 radiator LOL and N1 windows! and N1 glove box!!! wooooo, I'm on a roll!

In short, yes, don't worry to much about the v-spec tag.

yeah i know what you mean, i just don't see the point of idiots putting a 'fake ' sticker on. It should be like HSV, they won't give you a clubsport sticker or HSV badge unless you show them you own a genuine HSV car.

Unfortunately V-Spec stickers can be purchased from heaps of places EG. HERE

[slow13dude]

My GTR has no GTR badge, therefore it's not a GTR?
