Interested to know how many R34 GTRs were built through out its 4 year production?

More specifically, how many:

Nismo R-Tune -------- ?

GTR N1 --------------- 45

M-Spec --------------- ?

V-Spec II NUR ------- 750

Z-Tune ---------------- 20 (base on VspecII)

R34 Autech ----------- ?

and any others not listed?

I will update this list as we gather more info in this thread.

To say the Z-Tune is based on the V-Spec II is incorrect. The Z-tune could be built on any GTR with low KM's provided it met with Nismo's quality control. I believe the Z-tune in Australia was originally a Bayside blue 1999 model V-Spec GTR.

Also it is pointless to count how many R-Tune's there are because tomorrow there might be another one. Anyone can get the R-tune treatment done.

On another topic. Here's a brochure for the Midnight Purple II GTRs:

R34GTR%20-%20Midnight%20Purple%20Pearl%20II%20Brochure%20-%201.jpg

There was another colour (Midnight Purple Pearl III) which was later produced for the V-Spec II but not sure if that was a limited run.

correct me if im wrong but wasnt there a Z-Tune 1 AND 2?

the latest one was number 2 and is classed as a '2006 r34 GTR Z-Tune Z2'

the engine was also changed from the Z1 to Z2
SPECIFICATIONS

Base Model: Skyline GT-R (BNR34) V-spec (used)

Body Color: Z-tune Silver (KY0), special color for R34GT-R Z-tune only.

Engine Model: RB26DETT Modified spec, "Z2" (Z-tune concept engine spec.2)

Good info thanks. Ive researched a bit more yes a Z Tune can be based on any GTR that meets the requirements. R tunes are not limited production cars.

Also apparantly NISMO made a press release to say that only 17 NISMO Z-Tunes were built for customers in the end for a total of 19 Z-Tunes globally. 2 Prototypes and 17 customer cars.

so there are really only 17 road versions? can anyone confirm this?

The way I understand it is Nismo made a prototype Z tune with a "Z1" spec engine in 2002 for Tuners Battle. However all customer Z tunes have "Z2" spec engine.

the only donar 34 gtr's they could not use for the z-tunes were the limited runs of the midnight purple II and III

the only donar 34 gtr's they could not use for the z-tunes were the limited runs of the midnight purple II and III

Any idea how many midnight Purple IIIs were produced? or if its indeed limited edition?

A little bit more info I have found.

The R34 sold around 12k units in total from 1999-2002.

And the last GT-R in Japan, the NUR's fetched at least a price tag of over $100,000, as they were the last of the breed and most were pre-ordered. Only 1000 units made of those.

What do you think of these quotes?

Ok, bit more info to add there were apparantly 189 midnight purple III's produced jan 2000 and of course the 300 midnight purple II 's jan 99 both limited runs were based on the series 1 GTR's and came in both v-spec and standard models both these limited runs were not allowed to be used for the z-tune production

The official number for R34 GTR's is 12,175

1999 - 5536

2000 - 1859

2001 - 2197

2002 - 1775

2003 - 2 ( yes this is correct 2 GTR's were made from spare parts apparently and are not included in the official chasis number list as number BNR34-404495 was the last build on 29-8-02 both cars are said to have been given to the skyline museum in japan there is nothing stated as to what spec they were v-spec II , M-spec etc.

standard - 3,962

V-spec , V-spec II and M spec models - 7,338 (not sure if this includes the 1000 Nur editions)

V-spec N1 - 45 ( N1's were made in both V-spec and V-spec II no list of numbers of each)

80 cars were sent to england through nissan all as far as i know were V-spec not sure if they are included in the official numbers.

The last official GTR to come off the production line BNR34-404495 was a standard V-spec II in silver WV2 from the Tochigi plant on 29-8-02 this was sold to a customer.

V-spec II , M-spec and standard models were being built along side the Nur models so the last GTR made was in fact not a Nur edition but a standard v-spec II but no doubt worth alot more then any Nur edition.

Also of note the last GTR made from the Murayama plant was in march 2001 (the same month the plant shut down) it was another V-spec II in bayside blue BNR34-010107 this car was given to the skyline museum

let me know if any of this is wrong as my japenese is not that great

considering it is the last skyline GTR made with the RB engine i would say so, might even rival the Z-tunes in value

Thanks gtr13, I have updated the first post with your data.

Any idea the break down for numbers of each V-spec, V-spec II and M spec models produced?

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
