The Super HICAS system, activated when the vehicle reached 80 km/h, controlled steering of the rear wheels in the same direction as the fronts to improve turn-in on entry into corners. Pretty impressive stuff today, let alone for 17 years ago. Improvements were made over the years and new features added. Special editions were common as well: V-Spec, V-Spec II, and our feature car, the V-Spec II Nür.
The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II, besides requiring a wider rear decklid to fit all those letters, featured a carbon-fiber hood with a NACA duct and bigger rear brakes. The Nür variant (named after the famed Nürburgring circuit) was basically a GT-R V-spec II with a more powerful N1 race-spec crate motor, larger drilled front brake discs, different rims, a different wing and a unique color scheme.
Even though our feature car is not an actual V-Spec II Nür, it is very close. The only visual thing it is missing is the carbon fiber hood. And one of those is on its way from Japan. The engine is also supposed to be an N1 block, but this particular R34 sports a modified engine that has MORE power than the N1. A custom Nismo exhaust, the most expensive custom coil over shocks made by Quantum, and a full Nismo aero package round out the mods. It all adds up to one exhilarating ride.
Having sampled this beast’s bad behavior first hand, I can tell you that some Italian and German car owners are lucky Godzilla never officially visited America. This car’s movements are something of a Frankenstein hybrid of Gallardo and Noble, with some Lexus thrown in for good measure. Fast and grippy, with wonderful whooshes and pops from the turbocharged 2.6-liter straight-six under the hood. The car grips like PoliGrip® but still manages to soak up bumps with ease. A balance only the Germans have seemed to be able to achieve in most of their cars.
Acceleration is quick and provides all the right emotional appeal once you get used to shifting with the wrong hand. You’ll miss the upshift to second more times than you can imagine before you finally get used to the right-hand-drive peculiarity. Heck, you’ll walk to the passenger side of the car for months before you master that part of the equation. Most embarrassing are the times you actually get in and buckle up before realizing some wise guy has moved the steering wheel to the other side.
The brakes feel strong and well-modulated. Throttle and steering response are like a race car. The Skyline has a certain heft to it that makes it feel a tad bit portly, but its all-wheel-drive claws the pavement and sticks well beyond what you’d imagine possible, not unlike the baby Lambo. The turbo wastegate pops and ensuing whoosh sound just like the M12 GTO 3R, and the shove in the back makes you realize this isn’t any ordinary sports coupe. The cabin is well- appointed and pretty quiet considering the performance potential and wouldn’t look out of place in an IS350. It amounts to a unique driving experience that manages to blend these disparate systems into a smooth performance machine. |
