Hey guys, I bought my car a couple of years ago in the belief that it was a V-Spec 2 but having read this thread I think it may actually be a V-Spec 1, however not entirely sure.

Here's the build plate, any thoughts?

It's a V-Spec1........

V-Spec 2's have an 8 where you have a gap preceeding the last two digits AA.

No big deal, the only difference is the tyre size.

225/50/17 vs 245/45/17.

Cheers,

Bob.

Many thanks Bob.

Hi JH32, would you be interested in giving us the lowdown on your car? There's a template on the first Page of this thread.

-Mike

Hi Mike, sure, no problem:

  • Model of car: R32 GTR V-Spec
  • 'Chassis No' code: BNR32-307510
  • 'Model' code: KBNR32RBFS AA
  • Photo of the blue chassis plate that is fixed to the car in the driver's side of the engine bay: As posted above
  • Where the car is located - Perth, Western Australia

I bought the car about 2 years ago. As far as I know, it had 3 owners before me in Australia. The 2 prior to me were young guys, didn't have the car much longer than 18 months each. The first owner was, as I understand, a slightly older guy who spent a lot of time maintaining the car, modifying it, and generally looking after it. I still use the same workshop bloke and tuner that he used - according to one he was an Australian Federal Police officer, and the other says he was an SAS soldier. It is probably the case that neither are true but either way, was amusing for me!

I don't use the car much as I have a daily driver, but I do enjoy taking it to the local circuit (Barbagallo) every now and then. I have also taken it to the drag strip twice, running a best of 11.1 seconds down the quarter mile. In some respects I would like to have a nice unmolested example, having seen some of the lovely cars here in this thread, but at the same time it's a great car to drive and I don't regret having done any of the work to it that I have to date. The motor is out of an R34 GTR V-Spec 2 and is running a single turbo setup (GT35R); it has the oil side of things all looked after, and runs on E85 fuel. It's currently off the road again as I decided that through winter I would take the opportunity to install an LS2 coil setup and a Vipec/Link computer to replace the PowerFC that it had previously. I've also installed an ETS-Pro 4WD controller to help out at the track.

I quite like where I have got it to now - it looks reasonably stock from the outside, save for a set of 18" wheels, and is in great condition. The interior is immaculate except that I've taken the stock 3 gauge DIN panel out and replaced with some better gauges that have audible warnings etc. I'm going to keep the interior as it is :)

Here's a couple of pics and a video for a bit of fun.

Barbagallo silliness (my oil cooler hit a ripple strip - thankfully the aforementioned gauges with audible warnings worked a treat!):

Fantastic post.........Well done.

I'm taking mine (V-Spec2 not the ADM) to a private day at the drags (Sydney Motorsport Park - Eastern Creek) this coming Saturday.

I'd love to break into the 12's but I'm not sure if I can launch it well enough to achieve that.

I'll let you know.........

Bob.

Interestingly, going from your VIN Plate, it's built in February 1994...

You have a V-Spec II sticker on your boot lid but your Model Number does not have the "8" digit...

But it has "AA" which signifies it's a GTR / V-Spec / V-Spec II.

Cheers for the info guys. I wonder when the sticker made its way on to the boot, whether it was at the factory if it was at the end of the production line or a previous owner; I have no idea. At the end of the day I'm not fussed if it's a V-Spec 1 or 2, I just wanted to know so that if I ever sold it down the track I would know exactly what it is that I am selling on to someone else.

Good luck this weekend Bob! :D At the very least I'm sure you will have fun!

Thanks mate.........

It would have been a previous owner who put the sticker on.

Just get a hair dryer and peel it of gently after heating it up.

It's totally in the wrong spot anyway!

Here's an earlier photo of mine but it has it in the correct spot.

Cheers,

Bob.

Wow. Sounds like a diesel, piece of crap. For sure it's only done 70k with a peeled plenum like that and the bubble on the dash is an additional feature.

Oh it's running out of fuel but it stills revs, wtf!?

I'm staying in a hotel and needed a laugh hence I thank you Bob :)

After watching the second video I give him credit "I think this one is already sold but call in to confirm"...sales 101

Caveat "I think this will sell in the next few days"

Hmmm, is it sold or not or confused

At the 1min 45sec mark he says..........."I think with the V-Spec 2's they've tweeked them with better turbos". :cheers: :cheers:

I cringed when I watched it again......... Bob.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
