Vspec Confirmation Please

[Miker33GTR]

Hi guys

Im about to purchase a 1996 R33 GTR from a private seller. The mechanical inspection is due this Saturday (6 January). Its advertised as a VSpec but I need confirmation of this from the VIN and Engine Number.

VIN: 6U900BCNR33021889

Engine Number: RB26058452A

Could someone pls run these thru FAST?

Cheers

March 93 GTR/V

Colour KH-3 = Black

Model GGJPRWFR33ZZAAA--A

Best way is to check if the rear of the diff is finned with a hose going in. That is the active diff which is the only real difference on a V-spec R33 as most of the time the shocks are tired or already replaced.

Thanks for that. My concern is that the car is advertised as a 1996 model. Is it possible for the build to be 1993 but complianced as a 1996?

No just my error. Comes up as 9603 which I mis typed as mar 93. Should read mar 06

R33 GTR came out in 95.

hi all

from what i can see (above) the only diff between a normal and vspec model on R33 are

1. active diff

2. shocks

cheers

^^ and the attessa system is meant to have a faster processor.

[32vspecII]

r33 vspec has

different suspension

active lsd

attessa "pro" with faster processor and more aggressive settings

a heap of extra bracing under the car which knocks hard against my exhaust all the time

just have a look under the bum and you will see the active lsd with the big cooling fins if its a vspec

cool!

so if say a normal '95 33 can be had for $25k how much more would you pay for a '95 33 vspec?

[SMR33]

I've seen one for around $33K (it was mint/stock too) and up to $38K or so (thats in Brisbane)

i paid 26k for my 95 vspec , 80000km , good condition except for a couple of minor things (hicas is not working due to aftermarket steering wheel and cheap 400r copy front bar) so I was very happy . that was about 3 months ago.

unlike the 32 vspec the 33 is no where near as rare and not realy worth a big premium , maybe another k if you find a realy nice one . the extras are handy but not realy a must have
