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.

Thanks for the tips Bob. Quiet informative there.

BTW my car is a late 94 Model and only came with the yellow space saver not sure it really means much.

Cheers,

Anthony

V Specs IIs Should have a yellow space saver, however they are different to the stock GTR space saver. As mentioned, they are 17 inch and are very bulbous (approx 1 inch wider) to fit over the brembos.

Additionally, they are supposed to have a thick yellow piece of foam (approx 1 inch) that goes on the floor around the rest of the boots floor. This is to raise the floor level up, to the height of the wheel laying on its side. This makes the whole floor flat once the carpet goes on. That foam is apparently very rear and quite sort after in Japan. As over the years, they get thrown away and lost etc. So it is good to see that in the above link, that the car has this foam.

there is usually that foam on import monster....

for around $600 before shipping....

Those photos look good Bob, should turn up really well. One thing that annoys me is the factory paint on the inside edge of the boot that goes all the way around (Forget the name). Would be nice if there was some thicker paint there from factory!

Yep.......... Spoke to my guy about that.

He said he can spray some "dry clear" around the boot lid to replicate the factory OEM look.

Bob did they spray the roof and passenger quarter as there no join for the clear to finish at?

No........ They were very clever in the way they blended it into the line on the edge of the roof.

Here are some pics with the addition of factory weld spots replicated perfectly.

Guys, just letting this group know I might soon be putting an EOI out on my VSpec. Half way through building our 1st home and might need to free up some cash. Im not 100% sure as yet, but just thought I would give this group a heads up. Will be doing everything in my power not too obviously ;)

My vpsec came with the 3 iece side skirts but no n1 front bar. From what I understand any gtr could get nismo extras added when buying the car for extra cost. Mine has the nismo skirts, dump back exhaust and strut braces and all look like they have been there since new

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
