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

  • 1 year later...

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.

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
