32 Gtr V Spec (1) Differences

[snake]

Hey,

Have found a R32 GTR V spec (not a V Spec 2). Can anyone tell me what differences there are between the first version v spec, a normal 32 GTR and the v spec 2???

Does anyone know how to tell if it is a genuine V spec??? i.e Chassis numbers etc???

Any help much appreciated.

Peter.

V Spec's had 17" wheels and Brembo brakes with solid rotors..... that's the biggest give away. If the car you found has these but your not sure about it's legitemacy, check the chassis number with Nissan.

STD R32 GTR's had 16" wheels with Nissan Calipers and Cross Drilled Rotors.

im not a 32 vspec expert, but wasnt it only the vspec II's with the brembos?

i have nismo/nissan book at home that lists all the chassis numbers for regular 32 GTR, 32 v spec and v spec II. it also shows the colours available, and what spec levels etc. so if you tell me the chassis number i can confirm it.

while we are on the topic do the 32's have cooling fins on the diff on the base models because mine has fins on the diff and no other v-spec traits.

I beliveve that only the V-spec 2's came with the Brembos, this one does not have them. I dont have the full chassis number but this is the model number that he has placed on the advert. KBNR32RXFSAA. I think some of these letters would refer to paint codes etc. The car is white.

Yo Mr Baron can you give us an idea on some of the different 'levels' of V-Spec's available? I'm quite interested...

[Tosh]

all V-Spec's had Brembo's

[gtr13]

As far as i know all standard R32 GTR's have a finned diff all V-spec and V-spec II have a flat diff cover so the opposite of the R33's. Best way to tell is the model code V-spec II have KBNR32BFS8 AA where a V-spec does not have the 8 on the end and normal GTR's do not have the S or the 8 on the end so yours sounds like a genuine v-spec. all v-spec and v-spec II 's came with brembos from the r33 GTR's the only difference that i can remember is the tyres 225 for the v-spec and 245 for the v-spec II

Cool thanks, Okay so this car is missing the brembo's, The owner tells me that this one is a 92' and brembo equipped versions did not come in until later, is this plausible or just an excuse to hide the fact that somome has removed the Brembos????

[gtr13]

the first r32 v-spec came out in feb 1993

the first r32 v-spec II came out in feb 1994

so a 92 model does not sound right

[Beer Baron]

yes, it just sounds like a 1992 GTR. Benm, i'll bring the book into work tomorrow and scan some pages or something. or you can read it in person whilst giving me the CD with the last V8 SC round on it

[Tosh]

it's a STD R32 GTR and he's just trying to pass it off as a V Spec

[snake]

Thanks guys, me thinks that this guy is playing games, telling people that it is a v-spec in hope that it will increase his chances of a sale. He has dropped his price $7000. Maybe he has realised that people arent so easily fooled.

[Scooby]

hope you find something better elsewhere buddy.

Thumbs up to SAUers for saving someone from being ripped off by a scumbag!

Go team.

[KBNR32]

I have a vspec.. so if anyone needs any info about them.. or needs to verify anything let me know.

cheers

Did R32 Vspecs come with Bilsteins standard? I just bought a Vspec. Its a 93 model with solid disc Brembos front and rear.

[KBNR32]

Yes brembos standard, they came with upgraded suspension... but when i bought mine i had a set of Apexi N1 coilovers on the car.

Also a push/pull type gearbox

upgraded computer.. plus what is stated above etc
