Specifications on 1999 GTR-34 ?

[PapoSwing]

I have been hearing alot of different spec numbers on the 1999 GTR34. Can anybody tell me what the 0-60, 1/4 mile, and top speed, etc? Don't bitch at me if this subject has been covered before, I'm new to the site and anyways this is a f***ing forum you're supposed to ask question! Anyways any info on the 99 GTR34 would help me out alot.

0-60 in 5.2 seconds
1/4 mile in 13.7 seconds @ 103 mph
top speed is 155 mph

Are those the specs for a V-Spec I, V-spec II, or just the base model? Which one is faster and why?

[oi_boy]

base model. the vspecs are faster because they are tuned models. the vspec to the skyline is what si is to the civic. performance upgrades.

[TuxedoCartman]

The V-Specs will only be faster around a racetrack, because they are not tuned for more power. V-Specs have a more advanced ATTESSA system, Super HICAS, stiffer suspension, and on some model years a carbon fiber hood to reduce weight. None of this will make a real difference in the 0-60 time, very miniscule of a difference maybe in the quarter mile, but maybe a second or two off of a road course time.

sorry but i think the 0-60mph is a bit off,
the 0-60mph for a r34 skyline GTR is 4.9 seconds.

heres a specs page. http://www.jbskyline.net/R34/GTR/Specs/

thats od though, i could swear i read somewhere that the R34's do the 1/4 in 13.1secs and the R32's do them in 13 secs flat. the variance of 0.7secs is quite large.
If a GTR34 only does the 1/4 in 13.7 secs then why all the hype about the GTR??? i mean a $5000 camaro with barely any modification can run 13.7secs so thats why i can't believe the R34 runs 13.7 in the 1/4mile.

heres another site that claims the R#$ does it in 13.2 seconds which i think is more accurate.

i got those specs directly off motorex's website.

Hey this might sound a little bit off the topic and kinda stupid, but what's better: a skyline GTR R33 or a skyline 25GT R34??

[oi_boy]

the r34 IMO. ive heard people talking about how they thought the r33's were a step down from the r32s and r34s.

Well some r34 2.5's yes others no a 1997 r33 gtr will probly beat 1998 r34 2.5 gt-t How ever the 2001-02 models come with even more hp supposidly
The original hp was 245 on the r34 2.5 gt-T model with the turbo the n,a version only has 215. Now the 02+ are putting out about 260-270 almost as much as a 1999 r34 gtr (not v spec).How ever an 02 r34 gt-t vs a 95 or 96 is a joke.

Bog standard, full weight on normal street tyres? You reckon?

Anyways free up the intake and exhaust, boost to 1 bar and the car is in the mid 12's yet will happily go around corners faster and stop a hell of a lot faster. We could add some water on the road surface to make things a bit more interesting too

Hell yea rain makes things that much more fun.

The R34s were a big step up from the R33s in terms of build quality and interior furnishings. Sitting in a GTT you know you're in a nice car - brushed aluminium, red stitching... class all the way. A GTR is even better.

The R33s were released in 1993 - and the GTR shares many of the interior parts of the GTS-t - so even a late model R33 GTR will look similar to a (now 11 year old) GTS-t. Lots of plastic and mid-90's style - compared to the new-millenium look of the 34.

However... looking past this - pitting the performance of a GTR against a GTT all comes to a head when you turn a corner. The GTT's are fast stock (R's are faster - no matter what year), but the handling and response of an R is much more advanced than it's skinny-body siblings and cousins.

Although similarly priced, an early R33 GTR is a very different car to an R34 GTT - which one is better comes to personal preference. You can cruise in modern luxury and hang the back out in a T with no trouble - but the R just goes hard where-ever you point it - plastic airvents don't seem to matter then. Loads of fun both ways... so each to their own.

BTW: The 33 was never a 'step down' - the 32 was groundbreaking - 10 years later the 34 was a refined sportscar. Somewhere in the middle was the 33 - yes it's a bit fatter than the 32, and not as smooth as a 34... but by golly they're a fantastic car.

Judge once you have driven and owned.

Either way they are amazing machines, but even though the r34 has a bit more weight than the r33 but with less mass, the r33 ATTESSA systems were tuned differently, giving the rear wheels a bit more power than the front, where as the r32s and r34s directed 100% of the torque evenly between the 4, only directing more power to a certain wheel when it began to slip.

WTF? That was the worst run on sentance I have ever read. It made absolutly no sense, at all.
