Hi All,

Just a quick note to say g'day.

Im new to this forum and in the process of researching the R32 gtr in the hope of finding one in the near future.

I have a couple of questions if anyone can help, Ive tried the search option but appear to be struggling to find the answers.

So here goes:

How can i identify if an r32 gtr is a factory V-Spec? Does the chassis number confirm this?

Is there a V-spec I and V-spec II on the r32?

Was the V-spec a factory option.

When did the V-Spec first come out.

Any help or links would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

The vin can tell you, there is a FAST search thread on here somewhere.

There are both Vspecs and Vspec2's.

They are a factory build car.

I think the vspec first showed in 91.

*waits for the usual suspects to show up

What ^^ he said, run a VIN / FAST number check.

V-Spec: Standard GTR with,

- Brembo brakes

- Retuned ATTESA E-TS system

- 17" BBS wheels with 225/45/17 tyres.

Released in 1993

V-Spec II: Same as a V-Spec but with wider tyres 245/45/17.

Released in 1994.

the correct information you need is on the model number. you will find a 7,A standard Gtr. Num 8 V spec II. No number v spec. this is the 3rd to last digit on the model number not the vin number. Thats the only real way of knowing what you own. As I own a standard Gtr with brembo's

check this site

http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html

or get onto the "Fast my vin" Topic and get one of the guys there to punch it in for you.

other differences include

*10mm lower suspension (apparently)

*retuned Attessa (More front Bias)

*Active LSD (rear diff housing is finned for cooling where as standard is not)

*Slightly larger Brembos than standard "Nissan" brakes

*V-specI 1453 built in 1993 (unsure exact months)

*V-specII 1303 built up until Aug 1994 when R32 GTR production ceased.

*ONLY difference is tyre width, wheels are even still the same width...

*Stickers..

*Price...

If you are going to hunt down a V-spec I or II, be prepared to spend extra for the stickers, and do yourself a favor look at it as restoration and a toy, they are fetching some money in Japland now

Or do everyone else who owns one a favor and write it off to increase value of ours...:D

this seems like a decent thing

Hope this helps

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
