Hey guys,

I am currently looking at buying a 1993 r32 gtr vspec. i just want to know if and how to make sure its a legit vspec?! Has brembo brakes yes, its navy blue in colour; is that a factory colour? Is there a way to tell using the vin or model numbers?

if someone could help would be much appreciated!

Vin: 6U9000BNR32301976

Model: KBNR32RBFS NA

As above, have someone run it through FAST. However looking at the model code you've given us, this should come up as a legitimate V-Spec, as they, and the V-Spec II models ended with RBFS as opposed to RXFS on a regular R32 GT-R. Midnight blue was a factory colour for the R32 GT-Rs. Quite a rare find, especially in the V-Spec variant.

Well hopefully its legit. the colour turns out to be TH1 which is Dark blue pearl.

Which is a legit factory colour.

But Grey / Black / White / Sliver were more common hence a rarity seeing a V-Spec II in Dark Blue Pearl.

From Hadouken's links, my understanding:

The GTR you are looking at has Model Number: KBNR32RBFS NA

Judging from the Decode Chart, the "B" = V-Spec.

If it were a non V-Spec the Model Number should read: KBNR32RXFS, it will have a "X" (Example Only).

Then there is "NA"... With further searching I found:

N = Rear Spoiler Less

A = Standard

Meaning it came standard with no spoiler...

You might want to post a pic of the actual Blue Plate from the car you are looking at and post it here to clarify exactly if it's "NA" at the end.

Hi JB4U33,

Nice find. If you happen to buy it be sure to add your details to the register of R32 V-Specs at http://www.skylinesa...spec-ii-models/

Hadouken gave you a link to my thread about V-spec vs standard GT-R differences (http://www.skylinesa...s-advice-to-me/) - FYI I'm about to send a follow up letter to Nissan Japan regarding the differences between the ATESSA control module for the V-spec and standard GT-R. Watch that space.

Cheers!

Mike

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
