R32 model differences

Does anyone know what changes the R32 GT-R went through during its model run? Aside from introducing the V-Spec and V-SpecII models, what would be the changes they went through from 1989-1994? Is a 1990 GT-R a safe bet?

Hello, I am Japanese GT-R owner.

Good info, may I ask what differences you've felt (as a driver) between the R32 and the R34?

And Welcome to AF :) :wave:

Yashi, that is one of the most useful and informative replies I have seen in awhile. Thank you very much!!!

It has forgotten to write in the thing of R32.
R32 V spec(A brake system is changed into brembo.)


The first impression which compared R32 with R34Vspec.

There is low-speed torque.(R34 feels torque from 2500rpm,R32 is from 2800rpm.)

It is uncomfortable to ride in.(The suspension of R34Mspec is good for a run of a highway or winding road.It is also good to set a tire to BRIDGESTONE S�|03 Pole Position.)

The difference in the stability in 220km or more.When it compares with R34

Nah, I translated it just fine :) Thanks for the info.

Yo Yashi.....How much does an R-34 cost over there? They're crazy expensive over here and I was thinking about going over to Japan when I get out of school. I was always interested in Japan, Japan life, Japanese food, japanese people, and most of all...JAPANESE CARS.
