Hi everyone.

I cant seem to find what im looking for by searching.

Im in the market for an R34 GTR but would like to find out the main differences between the normal GTR, GTR v spec and GTR v spec 2. Ive been told different things by different people such as the GTR has ceramic turbo internals wheras v spec has steel internals then i heard only v-spec 2 has steel internals then heard only the NUR models have them??? which models have black interior rather than grey etc? i know the normal GTR doesnt have the rear diffuser but is there much difference in power etc? as ive noticed there is a fair difference in prices.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

A standard R34 GTR is the base model.

R34 GTR V-Spec = Standard R34 GTR but came with ATTESA E-TS Pro system and an Active LSD at the rear.

Had harder suspension and lower ride height.

A plastic front air diffuser (covering the underside of the engine) and also a rear carbon fiber air diffuser, designed to keep air flowing smoothly under the car.

The Multifunction Display (MFD) had two extra features to the display: Intake and Exhaust Temperatures.

Ceramic twin turbo's.

R34 GTR V-Spec II = As above + an increase of hardness to the suspension and larger disk brakes on the rear.

OEM carbon fiber bonnet with an NACA Air Duct to vent air to the turbo side of the engine.

Iridium center console and aluminium pedals. (Just for looks)

Seat interior colour were black rather then gray, which was used on previous R34 GT-R models.

Indicator lenses were replaced with white / clear instead of amber / orange.

Ceramic twin turbo's.

R34 GTR V-Spec II N1 = As above but RB26DETT was refined.

The water cooling channels in the block were enhanced to increase flow.

The block and internal components were strengthened.

The pistons have 1.2 mm (0.047 in) top rings but otherwise as standard.

The connecting rods and the crankshaft are standard but balanced, crankshaft was further refined as to the R33 GTR N1.

The specifications of the camshafts were also improved for power and further refined as to the R33 GTR N1.

The N1 had an upgraded oil and water pump, to improve the cooling and lubrication.

N1 Twin Turbo's = Steel internals with ball bearings, more responsive and a factory boost increase of 1.2 Bar (17.4 Psi) as opposed to the standard R34 GTR's / V-Spec's / V-Spec II's, which is about +0.7 (10.1 Psi) / +0.8 Bar (11.6 Psi).

ABS, air conditioning, radio / cd, rear wiper and carpet in the boot were all removed to save weight.

Very rare R34 GTR.

R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur = As above but WITH ABS, air conditioning, radio / cd, rear wiper and carpet in the boot.

Different colour stitching on the interior trim as well as a speedometer reading up to 300 km/h.

Was released in a Millennium Jade colour along with the Cam / Rocker / Engine cover as opposed to the Other R34 GTR's with a Red colour.

Also released in other colours as well.

As for power differences in between all the R34 GTR's, they were all claimed to be 206 kW's from factory but realistically the R34 GTR N1's and Nur's would be higher then the standard R34 GTR / V-Spec / V-Spec II's, due to the refinement of the RB26DETT and the boost increase.

R34 GTR M-Spec = R34 GTR V-Spec but with "Ripple control" dampers to soften the suspension for a more comfortable ride.

Leather interior with heated front seats.

R34 GTR M-Spec Nur = R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur + with "Ripple control" dampers to soften the suspension for a more comfortable ride.

Leather interior with heated front seats.

R34 GTR M-Spec and the M-Spec Nur were both quite rare and was also released in a specific colour called Champagne Gold + Millennium Jade.

Just a slight correction - the gold on the M-Specs is called Silica Blaze :blink:

The V-Spec II N1s did come with ABS, and the stereo could be optioned back in, as was the case in mine, but it's an AM/FM radio with two speakers lol Few other things but I can't be arsed writing them all down haha

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
