Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II R34
The GT-R V Spec II has the ATESSA E-TS PRO four-wheel drive system which integrates with the LSD, giving the computer control of side-to-side torque distribution as well as front to rear. This offers improved traction. Underneath the V Spec II, Nissan have fitted front and rear diffusers which work together to smooth airflow under the car, reducing lift and creating down-force. The rear diffuser is made of carbon-fibre and features a NACA duct to direct cooling air to the rear differential. The V Spec II also has a different 2-step tachometer which has finer graduations above 3,000rpm for more accurate readings.
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II N1 R34
The GT-R V Spec II N1 is designed to be the basis of racing GT-Rs. It features different turbo chargers using metal rotors instead of ceramic, an engine oil cooler and larger diameter rear brakes. To save weight some items are removed including the rear wiper, rear fog lamps, the remote control entry system, air conditioning and the audio system (although the antenna and wiring harness remain). The centre console lid and parking brake lever are now trimmed in plastic rather than leather and the external mirrors are painted black. The N1 is only available in white with an unpainted lightweight carbon-fibre bonnet.
Nissan Skyline GT-R M-spec R34
Released in 2001, the M Spec is similar in specification to the V Spec II but with a few differences. These are mainly inside the cabin where the M Spec has a leather covered steering wheel and gear knob with gold stitching and heated leather seats. Other changes include an aluminium bonnet and revised suspension tuning. Like the V Spec II, the M Spec has the ATTESA E-TS PRO four wheel drive system, underbody aero package and a 2-step tachometer.
