Features

Nissan skyline models have replaced each other over time. The R34 GT-R to be specific is more sophisticated in every design. Its body is stiffer and its aerodynamics bundle is farther perfected, and in V-spec characteristics front and rear carbonfibre diffusers under the car together with a dual wing adjustable aerofoil on the boot lid.

Weight saving assesses have been utilized in numerous areas of the Skyline GT-R building from the new conceive of light alloy street wheel, which keeps over 7.7kg, to the use of light-weight audio speakers.

In supplement, the form of the Skyline back diffuser is conceived to make down force. Moreover, it also helps to cool the differential.
