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.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
