Hey,

Have found a R32 GTR V spec (not a V Spec 2). Can anyone tell me what differences there are between the first version v spec, a normal 32 GTR and the v spec 2???

Does anyone know how to tell if it is a genuine V spec??? i.e Chassis numbers etc???

Any help much appreciated.

Peter.

V Spec's had 17" wheels and Brembo brakes with solid rotors..... that's the biggest give away. If the car you found has these but your not sure about it's legitemacy, check the chassis number with Nissan.

STD R32 GTR's had 16" wheels with Nissan Calipers and Cross Drilled Rotors.

i have nismo/nissan book at home that lists all the chassis numbers for regular 32 GTR, 32 v spec and v spec II. it also shows the colours available, and what spec levels etc. so if you tell me the chassis number i can confirm it.

I beliveve that only the V-spec 2's came with the Brembos, this one does not have them. I dont have the full chassis number but this is the model number that he has placed on the advert. KBNR32RXFSAA. I think some of these letters would refer to paint codes etc. The car is white.

As far as i know all standard R32 GTR's have a finned diff all V-spec and V-spec II have a flat diff cover so the opposite of the R33's. Best way to tell is the model code V-spec II have KBNR32BFS8 AA where a V-spec does not have the 8 on the end and normal GTR's do not have the S or the 8 on the end so yours sounds like a genuine v-spec. all v-spec and v-spec II 's came with brembos from the r33 GTR's the only difference that i can remember is the tyres 225 for the v-spec and 245 for the v-spec II

Cool thanks, Okay so this car is missing the brembo's, The owner tells me that this one is a 92' and brembo equipped versions did not come in until later, is this plausible or just an excuse to hide the fact that somome has removed the Brembos????

yes, it just sounds like a 1992 GTR. Benm, i'll bring the book into work tomorrow and scan some pages or something. or you can read it in person whilst giving me the CD with the last V8 SC round on it :P

Thanks guys, me thinks that this guy is playing games, telling people that it is a v-spec in hope that it will increase his chances of a sale. He has dropped his price $7000. Maybe he has realised that people arent so easily fooled.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
