The 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) was released in January 1999 as the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33). It underwent a facelift in 2000 and ceased production in 2002.

In comparison with the R33, the R34 has a shorter wheelbase and smaller dimensions to improve handling. Like every other GT-R model that came after the R32 from 1989, the R34 is powered by a 'RB26DETT' 2.6 litre twin-turbo engine and sends its power to all wheels.[2]

The R34 was also equipped with a 5.8" LCD screen at the centre of the dashboard that displays live readings of engine and vehicle statistics including turbocharger pressure, as well as oil and coolant temperatures. The Nismo Multi-Function Display option (MFD) could be equipped at an extra cost, which included an additional lap timer and an increase in boost pressure measurement to 2 bar.

The V-Spec (Victory Specification) model was available with more performance enhancements including aerodynamic carbon-fibre extensions, an active limited-slip differential at the rear, and lower but also harder suspension. All V-Spec models carried a model-specific badge at the rear.

In 2007, Nissan introduced the Nissan GT-R which was developed on a new platform and no longer associated with the Skyline nameplate.

Games[]

Need for Speed: High Stakes[]

The Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) appears in Over Drivin' IV, the Japanese localisation release of Need for Speed: High Stakes.

It is featured in class AA and can be purchased for $150,000 in the PC release and in class B for $65,000 in the PlayStation release. It can be equipped with upgrades in both releases.

It is also available with a showcase. In all releases, the Skyline GT-R V-Spec cannot be driven in a Hot Pursuit.

The strongest performance traits of the Skyline GT-R include handling and acceleration, although it only has a mediocre top speed.

Description

GTRs - in addition to being king on the road, have to also set new standards on track. Faced with the same challenge, the R34 GTR is no exception.

Inheriting the R32 GTR's RB26DETT power plant, its power is limited by an agreement among Japanese manufacturers, and is unchanged from the 276 horsepower of the last model, but with raised boost pressure and refinements of all parts, peak torque output has now reached 289 pound-feet.

Its potential far surpasses its numbers, thanks to the electronically controlled torque split of its four-wheel drive system, all power transmits perfectly to the road. The transmission is all new, with German maker Getrag having developed its 6-speed gearbox. As with all GTRs, a linear throttle response is crafted throughout.

The V-Spec, when it comes to mass production cars, is a standout even on the world stage, utilizing advanced aerodynamics. The underbody features diffusers front and rear, and generates high levels of downforce. When driven at high speeds, this contributes to exceptional stability.

Developed on the circuits, the GTR has been a legend time and time again. Nissan's GTR captures ultimate driving pleasure and hands it all to the driver. Having evolved into Japan's fastest car yet, the R34 GTR no longer has any rivals back home.

It has a mediocre top speed but very responsive handling and strong acceleration. A fully tuned Skyline with a drag setup can clear quarter-mile events in 8 seconds.

Bonus Variants[]

For Challenge Weekend play, players may select an upgraded Super Promotion themed Skyline GT-R for Grip and Speed Challenge events. The game also features a Bonus lime green variant for Drag.

Need for Speed: Undercover[]

The Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) appears in Need for Speed: Undercover as a Tier 3 car with a price tag of $135,000. It is unlocked upon the player reaching Wheelman Level 9.5. In the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii releases, it can be bought for $52,000 and is unlocked through career mode progression.

The Skyline GT-R excels in the field of top speed because of being able to reach 208 mph (335 km/h). It is also featured with quick acceleration, which somehow becomes slower after players have installed transmission upgrades on the car. Its handling feels responsive and is suitable for fast cornering.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) was made available in Need for Speed: World on December 9, 2010 as a tier 2 car. Since August 22, 2012, it had been featured as a C class car.

It was among the best accelerating C class cars and could hit a top speed of 161 mph (259 km/h). Its nitrous boost however provided a somewhat underwhelming amount of speed during usage.

The greatest weakness of the car was handling, which had a tendency to understeer; it could not turn into a corner smoothly as it was reliant on braking. On May 15, 2012, its handling was retuned to make it less dependant on excessive braking, although it was still outmatched by lighter cars such as the Mazda MX-5 in corners.

It was best suited for pursuit events, as its weight allowed it to handle collisions well and its acceleration was powerful enough to allow it to regain speed quickly. It was less suitable for racing and required extensive upgrading to become more useful.
