Hi All,

I am a non-skyline owning new member doing some research on skylines for my company, and thought what better way to research this than getting the information from the enthusiasts themselves- you guys!

I am trying to list all the different types of skylines, from 1989 to 2002 (r32-r34 series), and what i am finding it difficult to understand is how the naming conventions of BNR34, BCNR33, HR33 etc... are all assigned to a particular model.

So far, a friend of mine have come up with the below, but am not 100% sure.

So i am looking to you guys and gals for assistance. Are any of you able to provide more info on this?

R32 Skyline - 1989 to 1994

? = GXi Type-X 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW)

? = GTE Type-X 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW, 152 N m)

? = GTS Type-X, S, J 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW, 154 N m)

? = GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG 2.5 L RB25DE I6, 180 hp (208 kW, 231 N m)

? = GTS-t Type-M 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

? = GTS-4 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 N m)

? = GTS-4 2.6 L RB26DE I6, 225 hp (169 kW, Autech Version - auto only

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m)

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) V-Spec

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) V-Spec II

BNR32 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m) NISMO

R33 Skyline - 1993 to 1998

HR33 = GTS 2.0 L RB20E SOHC I6, 130 PS (96 kW, 172 N m)

ER33 = GTS25 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m)

ENR33 = GTS-4 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m) 4WD

ECR33 = GTS25T 2.5 L RB25DET DOHC turbo I6, 250 PS (184 kW, 294 N m)

BCNR33 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280+ hp (186 kW, 368 N m)

R34 Skyline - 1998 to 2002

? = GT 2.0 L RB20DE NEO I6, 155 ps (114 kW)

? = 25 GT, GT-X, GT-V 2.5 L RB25DE NEO I6, 200 ps (147 kW)

? = GT-FOUR 2.5 L RB25DE NEO I6, 200 ps (147 kW) 4WD

? = GT-T 2.5 L RB25DET NEO turbo I6, 280 hp (206 kW, 343 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec II 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R N1 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R M-Spec 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R V-Spec II Nür (only 750 made) 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R M-Spec Nür (only 250 made) 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R NISMO R-tune 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m)

BNR34 = GT-R NISMO Z-tune 2.8 L (bored and stroked) RB26DETT Z2 twin-turbo I6, 500 PS (368 kW, 540 N m) Z1 and Z2 (Only 20 made)

Looking at the above, we have come to the assumption that the skyline naming conventions follows a pattern,

Example:

GTS = HR<series>

GTS25 = ER<series>

GTS-4 = ENR<series>

GTR = BNR<series>

GTS-T = ECR<series>

Is anyone able to please assist or point me in the right direction to get this info?!?

Thanks in advance,

Jed (aka ganaZ~)

I just read through that list and now have a headache. Where did you get that list from? Half of that is wrong.

I can't be bothered going through and re writing the list but here's a couple that are wrong:

R32

No such thing as a Type-X 1.8 L CA18i from the nissan factory in a R32.

No such thing as a GTE Type-X or GTS Type X with a RB25DE from the nissan factory in a R32, let alone a 208kw non turbo RB25.

R33

No such thing as a SOHC RB20 in a R33, earlier models in the R33 could get purchased with a RB20 but they are DOHC.

R34

No such thing as a Rb20 neo R34.

No such thing as a GTX or a GTV

No such thing as a GT4 AWD non turbo R34.

R34 neos aren't rated at 206kw.

All GTR's are rated at 206kw because this was the Japanese agreement at the time even though they made more than this, so technically not 244kw.

So yeah, no idea where you got those from....

Thanks bud- thats why i jumped on here to see if i can get the correct info.

Any ideas with how the HR, ER, BNR, BCNR etc are all assigned to a particular model (example below)?

GTS = HR<series>

GTS25 = ER<series>

GTS-4 = ENR<series>

GTR = BNR<series>

GTS-T = ECR<series>

R34s did come out with an RB20 Neo..its the most fuel efficient rb engine

Also there are such things as R34 GTX and GTV

dunno what the difference is with the GTX but the GTV is basicall a GTT with a non turbo engine

So wouldnt that be a R34 GT.....

You got a link to a RB20 Neo?

- Neo RB20s are in the R34 workshop manual, both the rb26 and neo rb25 are 206kw

- R34 GTVs have the big brakes and all options that the Gt-t has except they have an rb25de

- There are 4wd r34s, theyre just harder to find

- Sohc rb20 r33s are out there aswell, a rarity as no one wants them and they aren't imported much.

Same goes for the r31 and r32's, the carby ca18 models rarely get imported.

Ok just checked the R34 manual and your right, it does say a RB20, has any one ever seen one or got more info on this? Never seen a RB20 in a R34 from factory.

The rest i've never seen in Aus (sohc RB20 or carby CA18 in a R32 or AWD R34 GT4), but there ya go, i stand corrected :P

man they are just about all wrong, all standard GTR's had 206kw not 186kw or 244kw .

I suggest you stop getting info from your friend. :/

I think 186kw is at all 4 wheels and 244kw is at the flywheel.

On the RB20 note, R32, 33 and 34s did come out with 2lt inline 6.

A member just resently made a thread about his R34 coming with a 2 lt engine.

You gotta admit though, 99% of people wouldn't know that a RB20 came out in a R34, that you can get a carby CA18 in a R32 and a SOHC RB20 in a R33. I told a couple of mates about it tonight and they didn't believe it until we did some searching on google.

Good thread though, learn something new every day :/

On another note, god u'd be pissed if you bought a R34 without checking under the bonnet and found a RB20 lol. Surely the rb20 wouldn't have much power down low to move a fairly heavy R34 (compared to a R32) that well.

I just bought a rb20 R34 haha, about 4 days ago.

And i had no clue they existed either untill after i bought it and noticed the engine number started with rb20.

And yes PM-R33, i was pretty pissed after buying it then noticing it was a rb20...pretty stupid mistake.

And yes i was the person who posted the topic about the 2L rb20 r34.

If it wasnt for the engine no. on his old rego i never would of found out.

I guess thats what you get for a $13500 r34. (still worth it though)

As for the power...just feels like any other inline 6, nothing really fancy, deffently doesnt feel heavy or slow.

hmm my R32 GTS-4 is listed as a HNR32 on the blue build plate, taking a stab at the probably obvious here, I assume that the prefix has something to do with engine type and rwd/4wd, also the JDM R31s were HR31, as well as the R32 GTST being HR32, so probably not based on year.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
