Top speed is not 180km/h.

There is no official nurburgring time for r34, btw, r34 has overall improvements on aero, rigidity, and power. Why on earth would it be slower than its predecessor

This time is DEFINITELY fake. The R32 GTR did 8:22, no way an R34 is slower.

This made 400 hp, not 276 hp. It ran the 1/4 mile in 13.2 sec at 111 mph

Ah, they actually removed the 400m time

Is the nurburgring time right? I just did a 7:59 on gran turismo in a bone stock r34 gtr.

Only 7 more years 'til it's legal boys

The Nurburging Time is 7.49 right?

Yeah this aint doing no 12.2, I should no.

I think this is the coolest gtr produced by nissan and with a bit of tuning it will be more than enough for an old guy in his early 40s

But even though it's a heck of a car. Something happened that made it street illegal

r34 was a mere concept of spongebob's pants before it went into production

@Driver

Its probably pretty simple. Do some research on GTR forums and I'm sure you can find a quick fix for the limiter. I've removed limiters from various 90's model nissans with simple & free tricks. You probably just need to clip a wire or change out a resistor.

Of course you could go the expensive route and buy a piggyback ECU or reprogramer.

Did anyone know how to remove speed limiter for this car? Cuz i just bought one of this

Go away Pedro.

my time on the Nordschleife with m spec nur was better than that. My time was 8:23:434

POS and increadibly ugly

I'm aware of the Z-tune. THat car has no bearing on what I was talking about though. The base R34 GTR (discussed here) will not run a sub 7:50 time around the ring in stock form with the limiter removed.

The Z-tune could probably do it, but there's no proof it has.

@Apathy: The R34 Nismo Skyline GTR Z-Tune is a special made by Nismo (Nissan) based on nearly new R34's as the production had officially stopped. With 500hp and 540Nm and the lighter weight, special aero and its certainly capable of diong that laptime. The R34 Skyline GTR V Spec II Nur might very well be capable of the laptime too as it officially has 280hp, but in reality it has well over 330hp...

If there's any group that can drive the base R34 GTR to its potential (and beyond as they like to exaggerate things) it's Best Motoring.

Look at the cars that were quicker than the GTR (with all of them being driven by BM) on small tracks like Tsukuba, where the GTR would really shine. It's slower than the 993 GT2 at Tsukuba and Suzuka. Now, I'm almost certain the GTR would never go over 110 on a track as small as Tsukuba and its AWD system would be at its prime on a track with such tight hairpins. And yet it's slower than many cars, including the 993 GT2.

Now, the 993 GT2 is clearly the quicker car. There really is no arguing that. What is the GT2's Nordschleife time? 8:09...

There's no doubt the GTR would be faster without a limiter, but I don't think it would be that much faster.

Also, the quick time you're talking about is the 8:01 V-spec R33. And it's a well known fact that the car had weight and power differences, as well as the limiter removed. SO yeah, unless I see proof, a 7:49 is BS.

I mean, come on... That's Audi R8, M3 CSL, 997 GT3 RS territory. Give me a break...

@Apathy: fastest road legal Skyline is the R33 driven by Reece McGregor that did a 7.57 @ 197mph so there you go.

The Nurburgring time posted is 100% accurate. 7:49 is highly unlikely.

Dan W, if you were aware of how powerful engines can be tuned to, you would not tote the R26 as so great. You think 1600hp makes it the second most "tunable" engine ever? Yeah it's damn impressive, but let me know if the GTR ever makes over 2000hp or runs anything quicker than a mid 7 at 180mph.

Did you know the 4.6l DOHC ford cobra motor has seen over 2000hp and run a 6 second quarter mile at over 210mph? Did I mention that was done using the stock block, crank, and heads (they were ported).

There is MUCH more out there than the dated JZ and RB series.

some of you have noticed these facts are wrong,

the nurburgring record for an r34 is 7.49, cars in japan are restricted to 180kph(112mph) from factory, delimited though and it can do 155 - 165MPH, it weighs 1560kg. The rb26 engine is widely regarded as the 2nd most tunable engine ever(behind toyota supra 2jz), it can be stoked up to 3.2 litres and has been know to output 1600hp and 13,000rpm!

i run tha lap at 25 seconds flat but never recorded bacause they all drop their jaws whe i crossed the line, then directly went outside.

yer 1 agree with bumrush not many people know about it being called a BNR34 so we will just use the term GTR-R34 & who knows a Reliable importer for S15's & good custom body kit builders

Were just gonna stick with R34...

First of all, the R34 GTR internally known as BNR34 was released in 1999, NOT 1998 as stated. Second to that, the 0-60mph time is incorrect as is the weight of the vehicle. It weighs 1540 KG. It just gets me wondering where people find facts like this??
