Very cool!

Damn! I've been after a Nismo rear strut brace for bloody AGES.... but I'm in Adelaide!

Agreed! Bike racks would be sick.

Yes please

They're knee pads for the driver - your bolster description was pretty good.

Haha! Yeah, I started that thread

Anyone got a set of these for an R32 2door?

I did get onto Nissan Jaapan and they did send me a catalogue, but their copy was even worse than these!!!

Hi all, In the hunt for better knowledge and a few bits for my R32 I've been trying to find optional parts and accessories info. I've found the following BUT the images are only just too grainy to make out any of the part numbers. Does anyone have higher resolution images of these docs, or other R32 "optional parts" docs from different years. Please let me know if you have anything for ANY of the R32 models - obviously there are accessories and optional parts that can be used on 2wd, 4wd, 2 door and 4 door models. In the meantime... here are some images:

Hi all, Does anyone have any part numbers for these optional parts. Any of them? Cheers! Mike

30TRB - do you mean the facebook group link? GTRAAH - it's nice to know that people are looking at my other V-Spec thread

Your car looks nuts 30TRB. That options brochure would be amazing to have - it would knock a lot of the conjecture that's out there on it's head. At least we know that such a beast exists though. I'm going to start searching now. Was it on eBay?

I've got the same deflectors (i.e. the bolt on type too). Cool aren't they? These are parts 4118205U00 and 4118305U00. Not sure that they're a part that's unique to N1's or V-Spec models though.

No worries dude - I'm a detail person

No worries Adrian - I figure that there's a bit of crossover with the N1 model spanning both standard and V-Spec models, so it would be great to have that info here. It's certainly not inappropriate. Cheers!

Hey all - I drove behind a 1993 R32 V-spec that was pretty identical to mine yesterday. It was in Norwood. Gunmetal grey with a 'Sinergy' sticker across the back. It looked pretty stock - original ride height, V-Spec BBS 17" alloys. Maybe an HKS turbo exhaust. Does anyone know this dude? I wouldn't mind contacting him.

This is interesting. My R32 V-Spec II has front N1 vents, front bonnet lip, rear boot lip, rear pods and the normal 3 piece side skirts. It also came with a complete Alpine N'Fit Sound System, with illuminated rear speakers (which are blown). I know for a fact that the front bar was put on after the car came out of the factory, so i can only assume that the other body pieces were as well. Awesome Jason - another V-Spec II. Can you please also add info per page 1 of this thread: Model of car (i.e. 'V-Spec', 'V-Spec II', 'N1 V-Spec' or 'N1 V-Spec II') - a build date would be good too, but if you don't know it we can help out with that. 'Chassis No' code (i.e. VIN number) from the chassis plate 'Model' code from the chassis plate Photo of the blue chassis plate that is fixed to the car in the driver's side of the engine bay Where the car is located - state/county/rough location and country With regard to the stereo, the 1994 brochure has an optional Sony disc stacker and head unit. See http://www.downloads.gtr.org.uk/Brochures/R32GTR%20Vspec2.pdf - this is the brochure for your car. Please also note that the same set of photos shows the boot spoiler as an option. Somewhere in the Japanese text it may say that other body options are available too?

I'm pretty damned excited to find out that there's another N1 in Australia dude, and also that it is a non V-Spec model. Can I ask a favour? Can you please add some information to the thread per my first post on page 1? I think that we would all love to see some photos. I'm just as interested to find out what the model number is from the blue plate on the firewall - it seems I'm becoming a model number geek.

f**k, that took AGES!

Cool discussion guys. Here's my take on things. The V-Spec models were 'order only', you went to the dealer and ordered your car. It has become obvious to me that within that process there was a degree of flexibility with regard to options that you could specify. Airbag, paint colour and soundsystem are the obvious items (and my '93 dealer brochure confirms that), however it seems that body options were also a choice, and I think that it is entirely reasonable to think that that would be the case - if you're ordering a car from the production line then it's reasonable to think that you could select body part options. I know that a friend's V-Spec here in Adelaide has a factory fitted hood lip and bar with no additional vents whereas mine has the N1 bar with additional vents and no hood lip. Mine has no Nismo boot spoiler but I saw a V-Spec yesterday with a factory fitted Nismo spoiler. I reckon that the customer just ordered their car to their spec and it had the different body parts added as it rolled down the line. The most extreme example of this would be going for the N1 specification (which seems to be an informal thing insofar as there is no known brochure specific to the N1) and then adding aircon and body options back in. My take on it, in the absence of any hard evidence, is that the N1 spec was the following: - N1 engine (it makes no sense that a car would be given the model designation 'N1' and NOT have an N1 spec engine with N1 block, N1 oil and water pumps, steel blade turbos etc) - Deleted stereo - Deleted ABS - Deleted rear washer - One layer white paint - N1 front bar - N1 hood lip With regard to the body accessories ('body kit' items), some of them have both N1 and Nismo designations. In the absence of an N1 brochure or any other dealer documentation, I believe that there are clues to be found in the part numbers. This is what I get when I find them them individually in FAST (I've copied images from www.epcdata.ru via Amayama because they look nicer): Front Bar: The vent items 62034 and 62035 appear on the FAST microfiche as 'N1', however the part numbers for these are: 6225605U08 'finisher, front fascia RH' for N1 (after August 1991) 6225606U00 'finisher, front fascia RH' for Nismo (before August 1991) 6225705U08 'finisher, front fascia LH' for N1. 6225705U00 'finisher, front fascia LH' for Nismo. It would seems that the part designation within Nissan changed from Nismo to N1, presumably when the first N1's were produced in 1991. Hood Lip: The hood lip item 65822 appears on the FAST microfiche without an N1 or Nismo designation, however the part numbers for this item are: 6582005U28 'Molding, front hood' for N1 6582006U25 'Molding, front hood' for Nismo Again, it would seems that the designation within Nissan changed from Nismo to N1, presumably when the first N1's were produced in 1991. Side Skirts: The rear sections of the side skirts appear on the FAST microfiche as 'Nismo' (see 76861UA and 76861 VA respectively below). It should be noted that the front and middle parts of the left and right side skirts are the same part for all cars. There is only a Nismo part number for these items: G685706U10 'mudguard, centre rear RL' for Nismo G685606U10 'mudguard, centre rear RH' for Nismo Rear Spoiler: The hood lip item 96030P appears on the FAST microfiche with a Nismo designation. There is only a Nismo part number for this item: K603206U00 'spoiler assembly, rear' for Nismo only. There is no N1 equivalent part number. SO - it would seem that the only N1 parts are the hood lips and front bar with additional vents, and they should appear on all N1's... HOWEVER, the Nismo spoiler and Nismo side skirts may appear on some N1 cars. I think that the simple explanation for that is that some buyers specified that when they ordered their cars, just as much as some specified an air conditioner. Also, some cars may have had those Nissan parts added later - which is perfectly fine in my mind. All of the above body optioning will also apply to the 'standard' V-Spec and V-Spec II cars, which form part of the subject of this thread. Edit: See http://www.downloads...2GTR Vspec2.pdf for the 1994 GT-R brochure and note that page 27 shows the boot spoiler as an option. This is the brochure for the standard GT-R, V-Spec and V-Spec II, all of which were available that year. Somewhere in the Japanese text it may say that other body options are available too?

With regard to Hi Jason, Have a quick look back at page 1 of this thread for info regarding 'V-Spec' N1's - there is some information regarding the 'model' number stamped on the blue plate on the firewall in the engine bay. With regard to non-'V-Spec' N1's (i.e. the 1991 models), according to http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html the blue plate model number should be KBNR32RXFS7 ZN (I believe that the ZN is required at the end to qualify as an N1, which is contrary to the info from that page, but then again it is incomplete with regard to option codes). There is an option code list and model code list in FAST but my 32 bit copy got thrown out with my 32 bit laptop. Chef, can you help with this? Your Japanese is probably better than mine. The model code on the blue plate is the only way to determine 100% if an R32 GT-R is an N1 model. Everything else can be faked.

Kristian, you would be the first person that I would speak to mate.

You know, I have an inkling that the N1 front lips were painted/colour matched. Might be worth researching that before you go changing things. Make sure you keep all of the bits that you swap out for Nismo parts. I'd find a factory exhaust and keep it in the shed just to ensure that you have a completely stock car ready to go if you want one. Regarding options etc, yeah - there seems to be a lot of that going on, especially with the V-Specs. Not really surprising seeing as they were 'order only', i.e. you couldn't buy one off of the showroom floor. For example, mine has an N1 front bar and airbag option. When I win the lottery I'm going to buy a full set of N1's you know. That would be sick.

Is there a car ferry to NZ? I could take my V-Spec over from Adelaide for a play
