About GT-R V.Spec (R34)
Between 1969 and the early 1970s, the Skyline GT-R achieved an outstanding streak of fifty victories in a row in the Japanese Touring Car Race. Sixteen years later, its successful name was passed on to the R32 type, which was developed as a base machine for Group-A races. To take full advantage of its powerful 2.6l, 6-cylinder twin turbo engine, it was equipped with a 4WD system, which provided unparalleled racing performance. 1995 saw the larger body and refined mechanics of the R33.
In 1999, the technology developed over a long racing history was incorporated into the new R34 type, focusing on the "ultimate driving pleasure". The R34 features a smaller body and a sturdier structure, with ample consideration given to its aerodynamics. The adjustable two-level rear spoiler as well as a front and rear diffuser (V-spec), regulate the flow of air under the chassis, improving control. The R34's impressive speed is by a modification in valve timing and turbo-charging of the GETRAG 6-speed transmission controlled engine.
Further refinements have been adopted such as an electronically controlled front/rear power distribution 4WD system and a multi-link suspension. After going through extensive testing in Japan, its driving performance was further improved in Germany, on the Nurburgring. Unrivalled speed and control have made the R34 version of the GT-R Nissan's, if not Japan's, index of quality.
