Gho5t, thanks for that link, I was following it on yahoo auction.

Can anyone put me in contact with someone that has an N1 with the factory non-AC equipment still installed?

Post a larger and more clear pic...

But from what I think, it's either timing belt or gearbox oil...

Going to look at a KH2 (Gunmetal)1993 V spec this afternoon

It's got an R33 engine apparently but comes with the original engine...

Looks mostly original beside wheels but I think the original wheels come with it

120,000 odd kms

Ha not yet Anthony!

Bob, it did not go well. Car had been resprayed, in totally the wrong colour! The body was straight but it would need to be painted again, properly.

Overall in pretty poor condition and would of required waaay to much work to get back to a state I'd be remotely happy with.

Let me know if you guys come across any V specs or V spec II

But I am thinking it be the case of buying from Japan...

Did the V spec II come in KH2 colour??

Firstly, yes...... KH2 was available in V-Spec 2.

They do command a premium but like most R32's finding a good one takes time.

I'm just spending an insane amount of money on mine to get it right.

I'm past the point of no return and just couldn't be bothered starting all over again finding another. I know how hard it is.

I'll post up pics once completed, hopefully this week but in a nutshell, all rust areas will be repaired including the driver side rear quarter panel and sill etc.

The entire RHS will be painted as is the front bar.

Money pit but nearly there!

Bob.

out of curiosity Bob who is repairing / restoring your car?

My guy who I have been using for 7 years recently picked up AAMI and has become a preferred repairer and simply can't do private work at the moment.

I then asked around and was recommended a BMW preferred repairer who's credentials are excellent.

Unfortunately he is a fair bit dearer than my previous guy but I think will do a better job.

I've always struggled withmy previous guy's colour matching........... But as the old cliche goes, you get what you pay for.

Once I collect the car, I'll post up his details if I think he deserves it.

please do. Am keen to see the results

I think it's good value and if I was in the market I'd probably jump on it.

The only thing is to make sure it's a genuine V-Spec 2.

It doesn't take much to add wheels and Brembo brakes.

The spare wheel is yellow and I always thought the V-Specs got the larger black space saver to fit over the bigger brakes, I know mine has.

Yet, both my ADM's have the smaller yellow spares.

The blue ID plate on the fire wall will confirm its legitimacy.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though. 
    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
