hey rezz,

just trying to work out if all R32 GTR's come with a different colour lower lip?

Or is it a factory option...?

I was thinking that only the v spec's came with the diff colour lower lip but now i have a pic of a 89 GTR with diff colour lower lip can you please clear things up?

Also what about the lip on the rear spoiler the drift type one does it come standard on the vspec / vspec 2....

thanks Rezz...

Ok OAK, you're gonna hafta be a bit more specific...

Were you under the impression that all R32 GT-Rs except the V Specs came with color-coded lower front lips?

Also, the "drift type" rear spoiler? I guess you're talking about the little Nismo bootlid extension under the standard R32 GT-R rear spoiler?

Well, ALL R32 GT-Rs and V Spec I/IIs came with unpainted matt black ABS plastic lower lips, Nissan only painted the front bumper proper, not the lower lip. It's just that some owners paint the lower lip body color sometimes.

About the little bootlid extension, it came standard on the R32 GT-R Nismo. For the most part though, I think those Nismo bootlid extensions are just a generic copied item that some owners put on randomly... except for GT-R Nismo models of course.

rezz,

i was under the impression that only the v-spec and v-sepc 2 came with the diff colour lower lips...but i find it abit strange that nearly 85% of GTR's i have seen have the lower lip painted.... did nissan continue this with the r33 and r34 GTR range, since so many people were painting them.. i thought nissan would of stopped after the r32 range...?

i was asking bcoz im have pretty much decided im going to go for a R32 GTR Vspec and was trying to figure out what is stock and what isnt...apart from brembos and 17 bbs rims....

The bootlit spoiler is a nismo item.. ok that clears that up..guess ill have to look for one when the time is right and i have brought myself a 32

You're just lucky/unlucky I guess!:)

Yes, the lower lip went unpainted right through R32/33/34 GT-Rs. I have the "GT-R Memorial" documenting every minor change, option and special model that was produced.

The R32 GT-R V-Spec got:

The afore mentioned BBS 17x8JJ rims with 225/50 17 tires, the Brembo 324mm brake upgrade, quicker reaction ATTESA-ETS tuning, and metal compressor/exhaust wheels in the turbos. Colors: White, Dark Blue, Black, Silver, Gun-Grey Metallic, Red Pearl, Greyish-Blue Pearl.

The R32 GT-R, the V-Spec, and the V-Spec II were made alongside each other from Feb '94 through to Dec '94.

So, the R32 GT-R: released Aug '89, ended production in Dec '94

The R32 GT-R V-Spec: released Feb '93 through to Dec '94

And the R32 GT-R V-Spec II: released Feb '94 through to Dec '94

Rezz,

Any chance of seeing pics of the dark blue, red pearl and greyish-blue pearl..?

I have decided to go for a r32 GTR V spec as it seems to be the best bet, price wise and really you dont get much extra with the vspec2 ...What do you think is it worth the extra money over the standard?

1,453 V-spec and 1,303 V-specIIs were sold can you confrim this rezz....?

Also while your at it you got any idea's of the price range im looking at, 93 model atm in v spec form but if you could compare with the standard in same year i would appreciate it....

Also dont be shy with the pics...

Cheers!! ;)

OAK mate, think you could throw a coupla beers in the post?:P

Alright, pics:

Red Pearl...

Dark Blue...

32_003.jpg

Can't find a pic of the Greyish Blue Metallic... anybody have one?

Right now, I can only confirm that there were 6,204 R32 GT-R/GT-R V-Specs made in 1993, and 7,465 GT-R/V-Spec/V-Spec IIs made in 1994...

If I were going to get an R32 GT-R, I would DEFINATELY go for a V-Spec/V-Spec II... the ordinary R32 GT-Rs are cheap, but the Brembos and the BBSs are worth the higher price alone IMO.

For a good R32 V-Spec, you'd be looking at a minimum of 1,000,000 - 1,200,000 yen (A$12,175 to A$14,600) for a 70,000km, "decent" condition specimen... they double that price for mint condition ones. As opposed to a normal R32 GT-R which start at about 500,000 yen (A$6,088) for '89 models that have been driven into the ground. Thats why I say go for a '93/'94 if you're thinking about an R32 GT-R.

1 more question while you're on it Rezz, do you have the production dates for R32 N1s? I understand they are 93-94, can you confirm?
The series 1 R32 GT-R N1 started production in July '91 to August '91, then there was the model change to the series 2 where the N1 was made from August '91 through to February '93. Then there was the 3rd model change to the...errrrrm... series 3 where the "V-Spec N1" was made from February '93 to December '94... afaik. Now, they say that 500 were made, but how many that were made each successive year I don't know.

hey rezz,

great info buddy keep it coming!

Well i really like that dark blue colour..think it comes in a close 2nd now

1. black (always bet on black passanger 57!)

2. dark blue

3. silver

and yellow as a aftermarket colour....

Well Rezz my main reason for chosing the v spec was for the brembos, v spec sounded more appealing then your norm R32, as for the bbs rims not my cup of tea but the good thing is that now the car comes with 17's standard so you add some 18's without any problems! any idea how much those bbs rims are worth?

Also i would of thought the v spec 2 was made in less numbers thus bringing a much higher auction value and for that extra money you really arent getting more bang for your buck...imo..

a set of 18's from trail those tri 3 spokes would be nice on a r32 :);):(

Rezz a 6 pack!

Hi Rezz i have just bought a V-spec II what sort of prices are they commanding in japan and are they that sort after, also you said they came with steel compressor and exhaust wheels in the turbos this would obviously be the same for the Vspec II correct ? and are they the same spec as N1's turbos?

Heres one of the cheaper R32 V-Spec IIs getting about:

H202586120101010101B0001001L.JPG

1,980,000 yen. They go as high as 2,900,000 yen for 1,200km models!!

About the turbos, yes the V-Spec II has the metal turbine wheels, but they're not "N1" spec... just the same as normal GT-Rs.

      EFR Anti surge = T51R mod?

      T51R mod is an Antisurge slot. With exception that it has few extra legs on the base of it which makes a sound, and it needed to be inserted into the comp housing.

      Gtr r32 tank leaking: can I use stagea whc34 tank

      By Duncan · Posted

      Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
