Hi , well i went to look at a r33 gtr v spec today, well thats what he said it was.

Took me all day to get to his place right in the center of london.
And it was a really nice car.

Nissan : R33 gtr VSPEC priced to sell

But got there and was it a v spec.. No.. It was the first thing i looked at , no v spec badge on the boot, so i bent down and no fins on the rear diff.
Then i told him it wasnt , and he said oh yes it is mate. No lsd light on the dash, but there was two led,s But that was for some control thing, for the revs. It had the v spec bumper but that was it.
Needed four new tyers, the drivers mirror would not come back in and needed paint on the vents on the bumper, and on the rear bumper.
Walked away from this one.... I asked him if he was on any skyline fourm he said oh no mate not me. lol

Thanks Rant over....

if you want info on the first one, try contacting RSP with the reg number as its had work done by them.

the other sold in 2007

ian turbo · 19th August 2008, 07:52 PM

They are the same car !!!
But yes i could ask them as it says it had O/S GIKEN 1,2,3 STRAIGHT CUT GEARS

And dont know if that means trouble.

VIN number, sticker, fins on the active diff, A-LSD light (but only on standard clocks as Nismo clocks have this light) and ride height are the only differences, bumper is the same on both models for the 33
