R34 2003?!?

[Rochey]

Ok i am quite a Skyline/Car n00b. so please forgive me if im an idiot and totally wrong here.

i thought that these cars were manufactured during these years:

R32 1989-1993

R33 1993-1998

R34 1998-2002

However the new Need For Speed Underground claims it has a 2003 R34 GTR. Now surely a company producing a game couldnt lie about this or get their facts wrong, so i must be wrong here. Can someone please inform me of when the above cars were in production and let me know if im wrong? Thanks fellas.

P.S. i have attached 2 pictures. 1 that shows my entire screen capture (taken down from 1280x960 to 800x600 resolution), the other a closeup of the car they claim to be an 2003 R34.

Theres 2 things that should be pointed ut here:

1) Don't rely on software companies to know entirely what their talking about... especially with cars (nerds remember).

2) America.

i agree with you but when you say 'Don't rely on software companies to know entirely what their talking about' i say- its the year of a car. like its not technical info e.g. displacement, gear ratios etc. You would think before bringing the game out they would have Nissan check over it to make sure nothing is wrong.

Hmmm, right... so thats when I'd refer you to 2) America... ie: it's a foreign car so near enough is good enough.

R34 1998-2002

strickly speaking BNR34 started in 1999/01 and stopped 2002/08

[drakan69]

one thing that may have something to do with it (but then again may not) is that in NFS underground the car there talking about is a R34 GTR V-spec.

now i have no idea of the dates and what not, with the BNR32 the v-spec was still being produced the year after they stoped making the normal BNR32's, wasn't it?

perhaps the v-spec was still being produced the year after they stoped making the BNR34.

but i know nothing about production dates, most probably what's happened is what Rezz said, it's America (or is it cananda EA games?) so near enough is good enough.

drakan69, no it isn't the case...Godzilla officially died in 2002/08

[Guest RedLineGTR]

wern't there only a couple made in the start of 2003??? only a couple though.

[Evo_Lee]

Let me bring your attention to a book published in affiliation with Nissan, in rememberence of the great GT-R (RB26DETT). Born 1989, died 2002.

[Demon Dave]

hehehe - I have that book...or should I say Godzilla's bible

[Abo Bob]

I thought I heard somewhere that 2 or 3 were made but not sold.

thats the same thing i heard

[JezR31]

supposedly there were 2 made in 2003-

one GTR Vspec II and a GTR M-SPEC.

2002 - 1775 made

i think there were around 12,000 made throughout the R34 era

16,000 R33s

44,000 R32s

[martydaman]

yea, i heard the NUr was made in 2003... or was it late 2002?

[mcnamg]

probably changed the dates as most americans probably think that if the car is newer its obviously faster or else someone made a typo when coding the game and it was never picked up has been known to happen before. Programmers arent perfect.

BTW Rochey nice to see another mac user. could you have left the higher res image up for all the people with real computers oh sorry i meant macs to view it as it was intended? :kick:

Just Jokes
