if someone could help would be much appreciated!

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

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
