Curator’s note
The last Skyline GT-R, with a twin-turbo straight-six and a computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system.
The R34 was the final Skyline GT-R before the name split from the Skyline line. The V-Spec added firmer suspension, a rear diffuser and the ATTESA E-TS Pro system, whose active rear differential works with the all-wheel drive.

The story
Nissan Skyline GT-R
The R34 GT-R arrived in 1999 with a shorter, stiffer body than the R33 and a six-speed Getrag gearbox. Its RB26DETT straight-six carried over, with revised turbochargers.
A 5.8-inch screen on the dashboard showed boost, temperatures and other live readings, an idea later expanded in the R35 GT-R.
