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

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
