2001 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 GT-R V-SPEC 7K MILES | SINGLE OWNERSHIP | 1/80 UK CARS This R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II is a collector-quality example Twin-turbocharged 2.6-litre ‘RB26DETT’ inline-six Original UK GT-R - 1/80 Single ownership Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R What you’re looking at, then, is a proper unicorn, and one that’ll likely have tech billionaires clambering for it if you don’t act quick. It really doesn’t get any better than this: a 7,270-mile R34 GT-R devoid of any mods, not even the top-drawer stuff from Nissan or HKS. Unparalleled Design and Performance Officially the 2.6 twin-turbo made 280hp, but the suspicion was that no R34 made less than 300hp. Moreover, with a suite of technology now seen as commonplace - ATTESA E-TS Pro that could vector torque across the rear axle, Super-HICAS four-wheel steer - the GT-R revolutionised expectations of large, four-wheel drive coupes. It was like nothing else. Today, the R34’s legend is not only helped by its role in popular culture, but also its status as the last GT-R using the infamous RB26. When the R35 GT-R made its debut in 2007, power, weight and capacity were all up. Leaving the R34 as the final derivative of one of the 1990s’ ultimate cult sports cars Upgraded Features and Specifications Skyline specialist Middlehurst Motorsport had brought in 100 R33s and when the R34 came along Nissan GB wanted to bring the car officially into the UK itself. There would be a delay, though, because although the all-wheel drive running gear was lightly stressed by the stock ‘276bhp’, it wanted to add a package of upgrades to protect the car in the event of sustained autobahn running – oil coolers for the engine, gearbox and AWD transfer box. There was a new engine ECU too and, completing the mods, the interior was enhanced with Connolly leather-trimmed seats. Middlehurst Motorsport carried out the work required to make the R34 ‘Euro-proof’ and some 80 V-spec UK’s were sold, this being one of them and is completely standard. It took some finding, which is hardly surprising as unmodified R34s must be as rare as unclaimed lottery tickets. Anyone oblivious to the untapped potential of the legendary 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight-six would have been put right by a certain movie franchise that kicked off a year or two later, the frankly absurd Fast and Furious series that helped grow the cult of the GT-R to global proportions. Provenance and Documentation Finding a pristine example of an iconic vehicle is never easy, but this R34 GT-R truly stands out.
