Best value in terms of price would have to be a non V Spec car.

Best value in terms of having a better chance of resale? V Spec's I reckon

Best value in terms of being an investment for the future? M Spec or V Spec II Nur.

Hell, they are all good value imo!

Oh just to keep the Chef happy, I forgot to mention the N1 would be a bloody good investment.

Lol if you can kill your way to getting your hands on one :(

Some may tend to disagree with that :)

How so? The V Spec II has that many extras on it that are worth thousands of dollars to buy in parts second hand, it easily makes it the best value considering they aint that much more expensive second hand.

For example to buy a non V Spec and than buy most of the V Spec II extras would cost you a hell of a lot more than buying a V Spec II in the first place.

V SPEC II

Stiffer suspension

Larger rear brake rotors

Carbon fibre hood

Carbon fibre rear diffuser

Aluminium pedals

Black cloth seats

White indicators

That's the main ones I can think of. Hell the carbon fibre hood, diffuser and black cloth seats make it worth it alone. Trying to buy just those three second hand would be worth more than the average price difference between a V Spec and V Spec II.

Doesn't V-Spec I have front and rear diffusers too? So no difference there.

What do you mean by black cloth seats? I know the 2000 model R34 GTRs have black seats vs the grey seats of 1999 models.

Is this what you're referring to?

The best value 34 R is the one you can find in the nicest, cleanest body condition you can find within your budget.

Before finding mine I was absolutely astounded with how many had had serious repair damage, often poorly done. I go on to see these cars sold to guys who should know better, but so many guys must fall in love with a dog because it's the right colour, right wheels, right turbos whatever....... Thats why I can never understand any private guy wanting to buy one unseen out of japan. For that value car, I want to see and touch it!

Actually I think you are right about the diffusers. The V Spec I had them aswell, my bad.

Ok now with the black cloth seats these were originally released in 2000 on the V spec II which replaced the V Spec I. However the base model (non V Spec) GTR's from 2000 onwards also got these seats. So no you could not get them in a V Spec I. I was merely listing the differences between the V Spec and V Spec II.

Basically from 2000 onwards the base model GTR was identical to the V Spec II other than the carbon hood I believe.

Although I'm probably being biast...I say VSpec II's. You can get some ridiculously cheap 34 GTR's now like this one, but for the *typically* better condition, lower k's and reassurance of a little extra when it comes to resale you can't really go past VSpecII's. I found that black, bayside blue and MP had better resale values over silver and white examples.

Ahh interesting. I didn't know the 2000 model VSpec1 didn't have black cloth seats, only the 2000 model non-VSpec1's had them? Yeah the black ones do look better than the grey.

I'm not sure on the exact details as in 2000 onwards the models start to change so much.

See that one is a V Spec I 2000 model and has the grey seats.

It would have been a certain month in 2000 when they did the change over.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
