Just brought my self a R34 GT-V, (Imported, waiting for compliance)

I have found out some info on the GT-V, but nothing concrete, like a spec sheet or something,

Just want to know if anyone has one of these or knows the specifications on the GT-V.

The jist of it is the GT-V is a NA sitting on a GT-T chassie, same suspension, same brakes, hicas, viscous LSD. how accurate is this?

The GT-V has the same brakes and suspension as the GTT. The suspension wont make much of a difference because most people swap that anyway, but the brakes are a good upgrade.

The interior is still the na setup obviously (no centre gauges)

I doubt it has the GTT gearbox, most likely just the stock na box

Auto box, not sure if there is a difference between na autos and turbos

With the suspension, does this mean I can upgrade the suspension using GT-T parts or even R34 GT-R suspension - something like http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...E:L:LCA:AU:1123

Almost 100% just GTT

GTR's use diff lower mounting points at the rear and have diffrent sprint rates at the front because of the extra weight of the driveshaft/diff/props

Just do a search (top right hand just under the SAU banner, click search, then adavanced search.. type in what ever and scroll down and click on the "suspention" section so it only searches that) in the suspention section.. has been covered many-a-time

I have just bought a R34 GT-V as said above 100% GTT minus the turbo. Mine is a 4 door 5 speed in Black Pearl, still very much stock [have to save some money before I have a play with it]. check out the link below.

Correct, the GT-V does not have the GTT box It has a variant of the R32 RB20DET gearbox ( with some subtle differences like electronic speedo drive, different shaped gearstick etc ).

Everything I have seen has said the GT-V came out in 2000, which is in-correct as my GT-V I brought was built in March 1999, (checked the VIN on Nissan Fast)

So I wonder what if anything is different about mine than the ones built in 2000+

It probably wouldnt have any difference if it was built late in 99, but March is very early, I got Xenons, as I saw them when I went and had a look at my car before it gets sent off to get a compliance plate. (hopefully they leave the xenons in)

From what I can gather the GT-V is a 2000 production model but was released in late '99. The post 2000 release models had the S2 updates e.g. 2 tone gear knob/steering wheel, white backed speedo/rpm gauges on the dash, the (slightly) ugly front bar and probably a few more things I'm not aware of. This confused me for a little while but you're right, GT-V was first released in 1999.

P.S. If the workshop do their job they won't leave the xenons in :)

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
