Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II Nür

The V-spec II Nür is actually a limited edition of R34 GT-Rs, being only 750 in the world, and although the difference is mainly on the engine part, with the Nür edition has the RB26DETT N1 engine that Nismo uses in the motorsport scene, but just the meaning of it being one of 750 in the whole world is just mind blowing, and boy did i stumble upon one myself.

A V-spec II Nür....






























Carbon Diffuser....The design of this is just staggeringly detailed...















You really can't go wrong with that look....The GT-R just have that look that differs itself from the low line GT-T or GT-S...















Nothing ever go wrong with NACA ducts on your car..















Notice original rims and high ride height? Talk about originality...















A more clearer view of the whole diffuser...It even has a big NACA duct on the center of diffuser, to channel air to cool the rear diff and HICAS unit....















Functional front diffuser...















Now in this dark picture (sorry bout that) is a picture of the aluminium lower arm of the front suspension. Now attached to the lower arm, is a aluminium plate, which doesn't seem to do anything at all.....but then it hits me that this is actually a self directed brake cooling system, the front bumper channel cool air through the side holes on the lower part of the bumper, and the air that gets channeled hits the plate, diverting their air path, onto the brakes. Talk bout pure motorsport oriented engineering......















The RB26DETT N1...















Carbon Fiber Hood















Tein doll !! I want this !















As my friend Victor says "The best part of a GT-R lies in the boot", as this pic justifies that. Here we have the battery on the rear, and beside it, is the computer or ECU for the ATTESA-ETS 4-wheel-drive system. One of the reason they place this just beside the battery might be to decrease the little resistance that length of the wire produced, talk bout detail....and also a adjustable strut bar for the back ~~
















So there you have it, one in the 750 only in the world...a clear example of the engineering level 10 years ago, and what scale would it be like, in another 10 years.....

Maybe nowadays car has lost that detailed engineering, or passion, that 10 year old cars seem to have, and proud of. But its not to say that future automotive is sure to die from marketing strategy and profit margins, it is just that.....it might become rather irrelevant, for future cars to have this kinda engineering level, as fewer and fewer people will appreciate it, even acknowledge it.

But at least there's cars of the past, cars like this, that reminds us of how the true cars, that was engineered with pure passion and patience, and that true will of delivering the best to people instead of wiping the butt of the CEO with their clever marketing scams or brilliant advertising skills.

It is cars like this that offers a consolation for the genuine car enthusiast, and it is cars like this, the GT-R, that has been dead for more than 10 years, that keeps automotive alive, with its demise.
