hi guys,

just a nooby question as I am new to GTRs,

I am going to buy a R34GTR (after I sell my EVO X MR) but got a bit confuse between the Standard and VSPEC and VSPEC II, I have try to search the forum and google it, the information I got is all over the places so can some guru please tell me the major difference between the 3 ??

much appreciate it for any input !!

wen

All three have the same power output whilst stock.

V-Spec over Standard GT-R has

* front splitter and diffuser

* rear carbon diffuser

* lower stiffer suspension

* exhaust temp and intake temp sensors shown on mfd (additional info thanks to wedge_r34gtr)

* ATTESA E-TS Pro + active LSD at rear (additional info thanks to thatlbeme aka Ian)

V-Spec II over V-Spec has

* aluminium pedals

* brake upgrade on rear

* carbon bonnet with naca duct

* slightly darker iridium console

* black door trim and seats with white stitching (instead of red)

* more stiff suspension (additional info thanks to wedge_r34gtr)

* clear front indicators (additional info thanks to wedge_r34gtr)

Added a few things to the list.

V-Spec over Standard GT-R has

* front splitter and diffuser

* rear carbon diffuser

* lower stiffer suspension

* Additonal sensors on mfd

V-Spec II over V-Spec has

* aluminium pedals

* brake upgrade on rear

* carbon bonnet with naca duct

* slightly darker iridium console

* black door trim and seats with white stitching (instead of red)

* stiffer suspension again

* white front indicators

Just wanted to add 1 more to the list, Like the R33, the new R34 GT-R V-Spec (Victory Specification) models come equipped with the ATTESA E-TS Pro system and an Active LSD at the rear, while standard GT-R models come with the non-Pro system and a conventional mechanical differential.

I have seen some GTR post 2000 onward come with black interior that does not mean its a VSPEC II though.

I rang up the dude and he told me its a standard R34 (Non VSPEC or VSPEC II)

is there any obvious thing u can tell beside the cosmetics??

why the hell the VSPEC II is much more than the VSPEC and how much would I be expecting to pay extra for VSPEC II on top of VSPEC ??

thanks heaps guys

i bet your lookin at that black gtr is melb? 01 gtr. i didnt know they came in non vspecs either. but its a fully optioned gtr non vspec. i seen it. drove unbeleivable. very quick (has been boosted) however front end fixed, acid rain on roof on slight rust around rear brake light

Sorry to bump an old thread, just wondering if anyone had some decent comparison shots between a stock 34 GTR & a V-Spec (and maybe VSii). Still can't tell the difference :P

Also, are the upgraded attessa & active diff decent upgrade from the original?

Reason I ask is that I may be interested in buying a '34, but not sure if the VSpec badge is worth the added price of admission.

Visually they are very similar but to the trained eyes, they can tell the difference.

The slight differences are, in addition to what's been listed above in the thread:

Base Model R34 GTR vs V-Spec:

- Had a firmer suspension = Lower ground clearance (But still sits quite high)

- Front and Rear Carbon Fiber Diffusers.

V-Spec vs V-Spec II:

- Equipped same to the V-Spec but:

- Had an even more firmer suspension = More lower ground clearance (But still sits quite high)

- Carbon Fiber Bonnet with NACA Duct

- Larger in diametre in rear brake rotors.

Interior trims slightly varied from all three models along with the MFD.

Base Model had 7 different readings and the V-Spec / V-Spec II have 2 extra readings of Intake and Exhaust Temp readings.

Base model R34 GTR came with the ATTESA E-TS.

V-Spec / V-Spec II came with the ATTESA E-TS Pro System: It acts the same as the Base Model but has the capability to split the torque from left to right at the rear wheels.

The differences are subtle and not really worth the extra thousands of dollars if you plan on modifying the car.

Or you can just buy the Base Model and add on the carbon fiber parts later / upgrade brake rotors and suspension etc...

Thanks for clearing that up, so cosmetically it's basically diffusers and the bonnet.

Yeah that's about it.

Along with indicator lens colour / interior trim colour / Aluminium pedals / 2 extra MFD readings.

Nothing too special, but minor changes to make it a V-Spec / V-Spec II.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
