i would just like to ask you a couple of questions regarding the r32 vspecs. first of all, does anyone know of any good website links that are related to r32 gtrs and vspecs?? i was wondering, what the differences were between the vspec I and vspec II. if you download the video from this site,

http://www.gtrcentral.com/movies/data/gtr/...od_shootout.mpg

you will see that the vspec II leaves them for dead. in the

drag race at the beginning of the video, you will notice that the

vspec 2 on the left side of the screen starts late and crosses the finish line long before normal gtr and vspec I (a few thousandths of a second between the gtr and vspec I). i know that one difference of the vspec I and II is the size of the rims and tyres. the vspec 2 having wider tyres and rims. however, I dont see how this could make the vspec II that much faster. of all things, it should make the car slower! i have asked many ppl the same question, they all say the only difference is the wheel and tyre package. is this true? after watching that video, i am lead to believe there has got to be greater differences in the two.

Both V-Spec and V-Spec 2 models have firmer suspension an an electronically controlled limited-slip differential plus a revised AWD system called ATTESA-ETS Pro. Both models also have larger brakes than the normal 32 GTRs, 4piston Brembo clampers with 324mm rotors at the front and 2piston ones with 300mm discs at the rear. The V-Specs also have mesh style 17x8-inch BBS rims. The only difference between the two V-Spec models are the tyre sizes as you mentoned. The 1st version got 225/50/ZR17 tyres while the V-Spec 2 has wider 245/45/ZR17's. There were no inherent differences to the RB26 engine in either models to a conventional GTR. Stock for stock, neither model should outrun the other without some modification taking place, and of course, the drivers skill and ability.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.

      Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.

      Now that you mention it I can see those too. More subtle. The lighting and low resolution makes it hard to assess super well what's going on but what is visible is bad enough to pull the motor.
