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

    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
