invalid VIN# on ad doesn't help either

VIN could be right if it was bought in before 2005... i think mine is something like that as the under low volume import they dont actually carry over the jap VIN, although there would still be a jap vin on the car..

Saw this as well. It's pretty tempting if it is actually a Vspec - even for an interstate buyer. Just wish they had put a bit more information up on it... Also whats with the colour difference on the pillars and roof? I'm guessing that was the original colour and the body kit was bayside?

What's confusing me more is this one http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2000/SSE-AD-2154900/?Cr=7

VspecII apparently. No rear diffuser, Dash cluster isn't smaller 1-3kRPM, No front black bar / (diffuser?), Amber turn signal lights instead of clear - all things I thought were on a Vspec2?

Only things I can see to say its a Vspec2 is the bonnet and the badge?...

Edited by James51

the second car is not a v-spec II only the bonnet, as stated the speedo cluster is from a non v-spec both diffusers are missing amber indicators and engine bay is painted black all second series cars had colour coded engine bays and the radiator is from a first series model metal end tanks etc pretty safe to say its probably a 99 non v-spec

and i would say the first car is also a 99 non v-spec it would be a good buy if the bonnet and front bar are genuine nismo though if everything else check out

That's a pretty massive gap on the LHS. A lot of it does seem unusual and when you get a few, the warning bells start lighting up - definitely have never seen a two-tone wrap like that on a Skyline before.

Not to mention usually with non-genuine Z tune bonnets you got issues with water getting into the engine bay (I've read/heard, no first hand experience) so questions on all the electrics, etc under there. Interesting there are no engine bay shots.

As for the 2nd car - can only guess it's a bonnet and badged GTR - I don't see any A-LSD light on it's cluster.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
