Interested to know how many R34 GTRs were built through out its 4 year production?

More specifically, how many:

GTR (Non V-Spec) --- ?

V-Spec ---------------- ?

V-Spec II ------------- ?

Nismo R-Tune -------- ?

GTR N1 --------------- 45

M-Spec --------------- ?

V-Spec II NUR ------- 750

Z-Tune ---------------- 20 (base on VspecII)

R34 Autech ----------- ?

and any others not listed?

I will update this list as we gather more info in this thread.

Cheers

To say the Z-Tune is based on the V-Spec II is incorrect. The Z-tune could be built on any GTR with low KM's provided it met with Nismo's quality control. I believe the Z-tune in Australia was originally a Bayside blue 1999 model V-Spec GTR.

Also it is pointless to count how many R-Tune's there are because tomorrow there might be another one. Anyone can get the R-tune treatment done.

On another topic. Here's a brochure for the Midnight Purple II GTRs:

R34GTR%20-%20Midnight%20Purple%20Pearl%20II%20Brochure%20-%201.jpg

There was another colour (Midnight Purple Pearl III) which was later produced for the V-Spec II but not sure if that was a limited run.

correct me if im wrong but wasnt there a Z-Tune 1 AND 2?

the latest one was number 2 and is classed as a '2006 r34 GTR Z-Tune Z2'

the engine was also changed from the Z1 to Z2
SPECIFICATIONS

Base Model: Skyline GT-R (BNR34) V-spec (used)

Body Color: Z-tune Silver (KY0), special color for R34GT-R Z-tune only.

Engine Model: RB26DETT Modified spec, "Z2" (Z-tune concept engine spec.2)

Good info thanks. Ive researched a bit more yes a Z Tune can be based on any GTR that meets the requirements. R tunes are not limited production cars.

Also apparantly NISMO made a press release to say that only 17 NISMO Z-Tunes were built for customers in the end for a total of 19 Z-Tunes globally. 2 Prototypes and 17 customer cars.

so there are really only 17 road versions? can anyone confirm this?

The way I understand it is Nismo made a prototype Z tune with a "Z1" spec engine in 2002 for Tuners Battle. However all customer Z tunes have "Z2" spec engine.

the only donar 34 gtr's they could not use for the z-tunes were the limited runs of the midnight purple II and III

Any idea how many midnight Purple IIIs were produced? or if its indeed limited edition?

A little bit more info I have found.

The R34 sold around 12k units in total from 1999-2002.

And the last GT-R in Japan, the NUR's fetched at least a price tag of over $100,000, as they were the last of the breed and most were pre-ordered. Only 1000 units made of those.

What do you think of these quotes?

Ok, bit more info to add there were apparantly 189 midnight purple III's produced jan 2000 and of course the 300 midnight purple II 's jan 99 both limited runs were based on the series 1 GTR's and came in both v-spec and standard models both these limited runs were not allowed to be used for the z-tune production

The official number for R34 GTR's is 12,175

1999 - 5536

2000 - 1859

2001 - 2197

2002 - 1775

2003 - 2 ( yes this is correct 2 GTR's were made from spare parts apparently and are not included in the official chasis number list as number BNR34-404495 was the last build on 29-8-02 both cars are said to have been given to the skyline museum in japan there is nothing stated as to what spec they were v-spec II , M-spec etc.

standard - 3,962

V-spec , V-spec II and M spec models - 7,338 (not sure if this includes the 1000 Nur editions)

V-spec N1 - 45 ( N1's were made in both V-spec and V-spec II no list of numbers of each)

80 cars were sent to england through nissan all as far as i know were V-spec not sure if they are included in the official numbers.

The last official GTR to come off the production line BNR34-404495 was a standard V-spec II in silver WV2 from the Tochigi plant on 29-8-02 this was sold to a customer.

V-spec II , M-spec and standard models were being built along side the Nur models so the last GTR made was in fact not a Nur edition but a standard v-spec II but no doubt worth alot more then any Nur edition.

Also of note the last GTR made from the Murayama plant was in march 2001 (the same month the plant shut down) it was another V-spec II in bayside blue BNR34-010107 this car was given to the skyline museum

let me know if any of this is wrong as my japenese is not that great

considering it is the last skyline GTR made with the RB engine i would say so, might even rival the Z-tunes in value

Thanks gtr13, I have updated the first post with your data.

Any idea the break down for numbers of each V-spec, V-spec II and M spec models produced?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
