All R34 GTRs have it except for V-Spec N1 and V-Spec II N1.

I wrote a ltitle PHP script today, to decode R32 models, it's a automated version of http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html: http://fteqw.com/moodles/model-decoder.php

My GTR is just a normal GTR and my model is KBNR32RXFS7, the 7 on the end means it's a normal GTR, if it was an 8 it means it's a V-Spec II, if the number is absent, it's a V-Spec I.

Also the KBNR32RBFS, B means it has 17" V-Spec wheels.

Thanks very much.

So it confirrms that it is a V-Spec I

It has the BBS 17's, Finned Diff and Brembos but it is nice to be sure.

Thanks

Hi

I was reading the post above about "V" Spec 1 identification

Does the build number have to have the B for 17 inch wheels as well as the 7 and 8 missing?

EG The number KBNR32RXFSLMZG built 08/90. It does not have a 7 or 8 but come with 16 inch wheels and seems to early.

In what year and month were V specs first produced?

Cheers

The number you have quoted could be (paste from wikipedia):

The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced in February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing. Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce. The 'Nismo' GT-R was only available in Gunmetal Grey.

The unknown bits on the end, LMZG could indicate the intercooler ducts, bonnet lip spoiler, boot lip spoiler etc (ive never seen a Nismo R32 GTR model string before)

As for it being a V-Spec, impossible (paste from wikipedia):

To celebrate the success of the GT-R in both Group N and Group A racing, Nissan introduced the Skyline GT-R V-Spec ("Victory Specification") car on February 3, 1993. The V-Spec added Brembo brakes and a retuned ATTESA E-TS system to the Nismo and N1 packages, as well as 17" BBS wheels with 225/45/17 tires. The V-Spec has a list price of ¥ 5.260 million.

Yes the build number has to have the B meaning 17 inch rims, the missing number in the code and AA on the end to be a vspec. Vspcs were released in 1993 so there is no way you would have one. For some reason nissan didnt always have the 7 in the model code for the "series 1" r32's (built until 1991 some time). They are always in the "series 2" model code though.

As for the last 4 letters of the model code, LMZG, i posted 2 pages back what they are.

You just have a normal r32 gtr.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
