Hi guys,

A few people have asked me for some info i have on 32 GTRs. I have a japanese GTR book at home which has a lot of specific info on 32 GTRs. Like which chassis numbers correspond to which model. Which colours were available over which model, and of course the spec level. Unfortunately the text is in japanese, but it is still quite usefull.

Here's the first one:

Vspec II

Scanning the pages is not so good for the book, but i did get N1, Vspec, and nismo too, i'll post them up a bit later on if anyone wants to see them.

this should be very helpfull to anyone trying to determine the pedigree of a GTR. I'm not keen to do many more scans as it's not good for the book, but i'll post up the standard GTR pages tomorrow. It has both the early models, and late models listed seperately.

ok nismo ones:

and cowie, it's probably just aftermarket tweeters. some of the cars they used as examples had a few little add-ons. like the volk rims, etc etc. but all the info is there :D

from what i've been able to learn about the nismo models is there were pretty much like a dealer special we have here. they had no abs, no rear wiper, had the full body kit (bonnet lip, side skirts, rear boot lip), nismo spot lights. but they had standard brakes, standard clutch, standard sus (i think). I'm not positive on whether or not they had different turbos, but if they did i would say they would be pretty close to standard, just with steel wheels. also as with most of these 'special' models you could ask for options when you bought it so you could see nismo gtrs with rear wiper etc, possibly even with ABS which confuses things a little. the best way is to just go off the chassis number.

With my scratchy Japanese...

Differences between the Nismo and standard...

Intercooler setup??

Intake setup with vents in front bar

No cross-drilled brake rotors

No ABS or Air con

No rear wiper

Side skirts are different

No audio

Nismo sticker!

Lip on end of bonnet just near grille

Lip under the rear wing

Limited run of 500 units, build dates 22 Feb 90 - 11 March 90, BNR32-100001-1000560, all gun metal grey.

Hope this helps!

sorry i've been to busy to get the new scans up. I'm not sure which one i got these articles out of. I have a few at home. one is the history of nismo 50th aniversary book, another is just called 32 GTR i think. actually i think they came out of the second one as the nismo book is mostly about race cars, racing history etc.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
