1999 Nissan R34 GTR
Discussion
Hi everyone
This is my 1999 Nissan R34 GTR non v-spec model, indications are that it's a pretty early car produced in January/February 1999.
It was imported from Japan in February 2008 with 58500km I bought it in June 2009 with 61000km, she stands on 70000km now and is still pretty mint, it still has that new car smell.
Here are the photos of the ad on TradeMe, which like a Kiwi version of E-bay. For me it was love at first sight. I rang the seller,paid a deposit and booked a flight down to Wellington.

The night before the flight down to Wellington I could hardly sleep!
This is the small plane that took me down to Wellington
The seller was waiting for me in the car park, and this is what I saw
I wanted to poo my pants with excitement, I test drove it right there in the parking area, and made the final payment as soon as I jumped out.
It was time to start the 500km journey back to Hamilton
It was a pretty good trip but unfortunately had some rain on the way back, car was pretty filthy when I got home
This was one of the most awesome days in my motoring career, Godzilla in my garage!
Car hasn't cost me to much since the purchase, new belts bar the cam belt that I still have to do, got a new clutch, new front brake discs with Endless pads and a few oil changes.
I will add some more photos her soon, I don't drive her that often, but when I do, it's very special.
Thanks for looking

The prices of these are pretty stable here, but you have to find one that is for sale first, and most that are for sale at the moment have been modified, and the asking prices are normally to high in my opinion. An example like mine will probably be between $50K and $55K NZD.
As far as I know the differences are as follows:
V-Spec has two extra features on the MFD, a lap timer and g-force meter.
V-Spec equiped with the ATTESA E-TS Pro System and has an Active LSD, standard model has a non-pro system and a mechanical differential
V-Spec has a firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, also has a splitter in the front and a carbon diffuser in the back.
Note that I got these from Wikipedia, not always the best source of information but hasn't let me down yet.

Lovely car, would love o have one here in the UK but prices seem to have firmed up around the 20-30k mark. Too much for me right now.
What difference does the V-spec make out of interest?
