Hey guys, I’am newish to the whole jap cars, as I’am more into the V8's and what not but iam starting to broaden my horizon and trying to learn more about these beasts.

I know my HSV's early and old and fords alike,

My question is how to identify and tell different Skylines apart? Besides their stickers and cosmetic features,

www.musclecarstables.com.au currently have a R34 GT-R NUR and a Nismo,

http://www.musclecarstables.com.au/details.php?id=185 - Nur add,

http://www.musclecarstables.com.au/details.php?id=186 - Nismo add,

Do skylines have a special build plate as such or is there a way to decode their VIN like with fords and holdens?

Cheers,

Icefurl

The Nur's are identifiable via the VIN chassis number which you can lookup in a reference database called Nissan FAST. This is not an online service it's a dealership software thing which a couple of people on the forum have access to.

The Nismo's will have build plates depending on what exactly is Nismo about them. If it's just a Nismo aero kit then no build plate will be affixed as it is not a nismo vehicle. Nismo fit build plates to S-Tune, R-Tune and Z-Tune cars that are completed in their workshops only. Each of the engines will also have a seperate build plate to identify the specifications and build number.

The Nismo car you linked to has had an S1 package added aftermarket by Omori factory in Japan and that's why it has the build plate as such:

These are not rare in Japan but very few make there way to Australia as it's difficult to comply them.

As for the Nur you linked, it is most definitely a genuine Nur.

Nissan bought out a R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur (Nur) short for Nurburgring, the famous race track in Germany.

I read that it was to comemorate the GTR being the fastest production car at that time... I think only in Japan... I gota read the mag I bought again, awhile back.

The Nismo one you posted is a R34 GTR which was tuned by Nismo / Omori Factory, A V-Spec II (Could be a V-Spec II model, not sure cuz there is no badge in the pics) model with all Nismo upgrades on the car.

I think this is the right order...

GTR - Standard GTR

GTR V-Spec - Suspension upgrades / updated ATTESA E-TS

GTR V-Spec II - Suspension upgrades / updated ATTESA E-TS / afew things revised

GTR V-Spec II N1 - As of above with upgraded turbos

GTR V-Spec II Nur - As of above

GTR V-Spec II M1 Nur - As of above with upgraded turbos / leather seats (heated, I think) with gold trimings / softer suspension / champagne gold body colour

GTR V-Spec II S1 (S-Tune) - Upgraded with Nismo parts / internal upgrades

GTR V-Spec II S2 (S-Tune) - Upgraded with Nismo parts / internal upgrades / tune for higher power

GTR V-Spec II R1 (R-Tune) - Upgraded with Nismo parts / internal upgrades / tune for higher power / Race Spec engine

GTR V-Spec II Nismo Z-Tune - Upgraded with Nismo parts / internal upgrades / tune for higher power / Race Spec engine / ULTIMATE Street car

GTR JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Car)

I think thats how it goes with all the explanations... Someone correct me if I have missed something / anything...
