About the Skyline GT-R V-Spec
The R34 V-Spec featured carbon fibre bonnet, larger brakes, stiffer suspension, and improved ATTESA Pro system. Signature gold BBS wheels became iconic. Wider rear tyres (265 vs 245) improved traction. The definitive R34 for driving enthusiasts, offering the best balance of performance and livability. Most desirable standard production variant, with clean examples commanding substantial premiums.
