hi guys

i would like to know the differences in R34 GT-R..the YEAR MODELS!

the info about V-spec 1, V-spec 2, V-spec 2 NUR, M-spec, M-SPEC NUR, N1, Z-TUNE is WIDELY available online and im sure all of us has all about the Carbon fibre, bonnet, larger turbos, different internals, different suspension etc etc etc.

but so far NO ONE.....and NOTHING has been said between the year models

i understand the R34 GT-R begain production in 1999 and ceased in 2003... and in 2003, they bought out the NUR, & N1s & Z-TUNES.

i currently now know that the common differences, e.g Darker interior in Late model GT-R R34. darker Headlights in late model R34 GT-R. different colour under bonnet foil material, different colour console silver. different colour side markers, different pedals, bigger rear rotors, different nissan badge, different radiator.

can anyone else add some more info?

:P

There were 45 V-Spec N1s built in 1999, but there were also a handful of V-Spec II N1s built in late 2000, possibly less than 20, and most of which went straight to the track rather than being registered. They were only available from a handful of dealers, and made in very small batches of 5 or so at a time. Cost more than V Spec IIs, but virtually every luxury was deleted, although things like the stereo could be optioned back into it if the owner desired.

I don't know why I know so much about this topic lol.

Yeah I can.

They stopped production in 2002, not 2003.

Here's all the info you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skylin...E2.80.932002.29

i guess no body can add anything

yes i know all about wikipedia...

as i said, the things said in wikipedia is very very widely distrubuted about the GT-Rs

but like for e.g

ive just learnt the Later model R34 GT-R has an additional METAL housing around the ECU, new paint codes for later model...deleting some old ones and putting some new colours.

interior is BLACK for the later models rather than GREY in the earlier models.

and also things like.....the Mirror adjustment knob is different on the later model R34 GT-R.

yeah i know all about that also...n1s etc etc

what i meant was

for e.g i owned a Toyota supra 97' TT

and it started production in 1994 and pretty much finished in 98 i think... and then bought out rare ones in 99 etc

what i noticed is...throught the years, it was VIRTUALLY the SAME CAR!, but minor improvements...

i.e later models had different tail lights, darker headlight housing, different side markers & extra red markers at the back that stay ON when parkers are on.

later models have an anologe clock rather than a digital in the earlier ones. different seat material in later models.

they changed the rims in later models, different steering wheel & slightly different arrangement in the instument cluster.

and near the end of production they made them all VV-ti's.

yeah i just thought i might know a bit more about GT-Rs before i purchase one.

because the Late model supras actually look HEAPS better than the original ones.

so if u think about it....the supra was the same car but they actually changed alot of things.

but so far it seems the GT-R has alot less difference through the years.

lol - ORLY? Perhaps you can enlighten me with the rest of what you know about them then?

well is there really a point?

all u gotta do is CUT/PASTE from Wikipedia and theres evrything u need to know about them

well since u want me to do that

heres an intresting info: N1 Race Version = 45 Vehicles

& "R34 N1 models were produced from the factory, 12 of which were used by Nismo for Super Taikyu racing. The rest were sold to various customers, mostly racing teams, and tuning garages."

anyhow, thats irreleveant.

does anyone else know anyother differences?

My point is that I went to the trouble of typing out something I thought you might not know, only to be told you already knew it!

Seeing you obviously know more than me about N1s, I'm offering you the chance to do likewise and share with me what information you have that isn't from Wikipedia. The information on Wiki isn't quite correct, by the way.

Oh and the Z tune came out in 2005.

N1 built engine = All N1 upgrades of internals and N1 turbos, which run 1.1 Bar Boost (15.9 Psi) from factory as opposed to the +0.7 or +0.8 Bar from what the standard model GTR's ran.

No A/C, Radio / CD player, rear and boot carpets and rear windscreen wiper and came with a carbon fibre bonnet all to save weight.

Its based on a V-Spec II R34 GTR, so it will have very firm suspension and a lower ride height. Larger rear disk rotors, front and rear defusers to allow the air to flow better under the car and a few updated readings in the MFD and a slightly different trim for the interiour.

Mr. Iron Chef owns one so he knows what Im on about.

LOL! :P

Cool!

well, i actually dont know much about the N1...i think they have slightly different side skirts.. i probably would never be able to get my hands on one either.

thats why i was just asking about the differences between the year models of the standard or v-spec ones.

all i know is...that its a crazy machinery!...

anyhow...no hard feelings....

i do appreciate what u typed out.. ;)

All is forgiven - I type about 2 words a minute, so it was a lot of effort to post something that long haha

well thats good to hear

since were back in good terms again

do u own an R34 GT-R?

if so, is there any advice that you would be able to tell me as an owner?

im looking for the right one to buy...sometime in 2009 coming ...ill make up my mind on which.

the reason i asked this question in the first place is that i previously owned a Supra TT 97' and im pretty picky with things. the late model Supra actually looked so much better than the earlier ones and late models are more rare than the older model 94' + 95'. which at the time i had it..made it pretty original.

so with the GT-R R34 so far a quick blink on the interior...i think the only differences between early and late is the WHITE or YELLOW side markers. yellow being the older and white being the newer.

And the headlight housing.

I think if you are picky, like I am with my cars, minimum Vspec II. Has the black interior, a lot nicer, aluminum pedals, white blinkers, bigger brakes at the back, CF bonnet with snorkel.

what do u mean by

"alot nicer"?

so does the vspec 2 have the G-meter? & the lap timer??? or is that only a nismo feature/factory upgrade?

ill keep that in mind

thanks for that

Well the black interior, the carbon fibre bonnet, aluminum pedals and colour coded engine bay makes it look nicer in my eyes!

For example, go to zele-international.com. Look at a bayside blue vspec, and then a bayside blue vspec II, and look at the engine bay pics!

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
