V-Spec?

[Ajonkey]

thats bull shit about the V and M specs:

V-Spec means "Very Spectacular Car"
V-Spec 11 means "Very Very Spectacular Car"
M-Spec means "Moderately Spectacular"=bulshit

[R33]

heh...don we all know that!

yes but how fast does it get to that speed?

The reason the GTR's have an underrated power figure is that it's illegal to make a production car that is over a certain limit, so its underrated in the paperwork, but stock cars easily outdo that figure by about 15-20kW.

Plus the scope for improvement (mods) in a Skyline is far larger than in a 200sx, availablity just depends on which part of the world you live in.

Hahaha, some funny shit.

I think these are right.....

R32
Vspec had 17x8's instead of 16x8's, different suspension geometry to counter the wheels
Vspec2 had Brembo's
(however, the first batch of non Vspec GTRs had the N1 block)

R33
Vspec has stiffer suspension, Active LSD, rear side spats, improved attessa (have also heard that the Vspec has 17x9's instead of 17x8's??)

R34
Not to sure
Vspec2 has diffusers and carbon bonnet
Mspec has softer suspension and leather interior
NUR (was to commemorate the record at Nurburgring) is a submodel of the Vspec2 and Mspec

Rated power was the same for all models (apparently)

It isn't illegal for them to produce more than 206kw, it was a gentlemans agreement between the govt and car manufacturers in Japan. If it was illegal, they'd all be in deep poopoo. The R32's were close to the 206 kw mark, but if you removed the restricter in the boost hose, you gained a reasonable amount of power easily, they were detuned to around that figure. Later, I don't think they cared.

By Skyline, I take it you mean GTR. I haven't seen too many RB20DET's or RB25DET's pushing out over 700hp, but have seen SR20DET's with that figure.

Ajonkey, I take it you are meaning mph? My GTS25t can hit almost 260km/h and I know the GTR's can go a bit faster than that

Beat me to it....
also the r34 v spec 2 has larger rear brakes.

That's coz an RB26DETT slots into a RB20DET or RB25DET pretty easily, then you can go about tweaking it even more, its the rational thing to do. But when it comes to the SR's 4 cyl engines, SR20DET is as good as it gets, hence why there's more of em doin that figure. If you had an RB20DET you wouldn't waste time tinkering with it if you wanted serious power, you'd jus swap the engine for an RB26DETT or an RB30DET hybrid.

Apparantly V-Spec is short for Victory Specifation which was used by nissan to descibe the race engine.
Just a bit of trivia!!!

[Drifter890]

My favorite Skyline is the Nismo400R 0-60 in 4.0 secs , approximately 398HP and a top speed of 198 .It was suppose to be a production version of an R33 GT race car:smoker:

which is better: gtr 34 v-spec or v-specII. does the v-specII have the v-spec's front defusser, i saw a picture of a v-specII and it didn't have the front difusser. what is the main difference between the two r34 v-spec models?

off the top of my head.
the V-spec 2 has larger back brakes
has an aluminium bonnet (or is carbon fibre) cant remember...

thats all i cant think of atm
there are others but i cbf searching for them.

From what I read the V-Spec II comes with a lighter hood and diffrent hood and comes with advance Brembro Brakes

If you want serious power from a Silvia/200sx/240sx you can swap in an RB26 too, so the SR isn't as good as it gets. If you own a 200sx/Silvia I'm pretty sure you can keep the twin turbo setup so you could make 800+hp and have a car that weighs hundreds of pounds less than a Skyline in any trim...esp the GTR.

guy;s from what i've read you've still got much to learn, my ego is inflated eh?
hopefully everyone know's i love the nur, it's the best gtr there is.
