Sixteen years later, its successful name was passed on to the R32 type, which was developed as a base machine for Group-A races. To take full advantage of its powerful 2.6l, 6-cylinder, twin turbo engine, it was equipped with a 4-WD system, which provided unrivalled race performance. 1995 saw the larger body and refined mechanics of the R33.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, the technology cultivated over a long racing history was unsparing poured into the new R34 type, developed with \"ultimate driving pleasure\" in mind. The R34 features a smaller body and a sturdier structure, with ample consideration given to its aerodynamics. The adjustable two-level rear spoiler as well as a front and rear diffuser (V-spec), regulate the flow of air under the chassis, heightening control. The R34's impressive speed is accounted for by a modification in valve timing and turbo-charging of the GETRAG 6-speed transmission controlled engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther refinements have been adopted such as an electronically controlled front\/rear power distribution 4WD system and a multi-link suspension. Undergoing extensive testing in Japan, its driving performance was further improved in Germany, on the Nurburgring. Unrivalled speed and control have made the R34 version of the GT-R Nissan's, if not Japan's, new index of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Tamiya \/ 1\/24 \/ Car","offer_id":53187454632216,"sku":"Tam24210","price":370.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0141\/5256\/4794\/files\/24210_1.jpg?v=1794216977","url":"https:\/\/swordandboard.co.za\/products\/1-24-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r34-v-spec","provider":"Sword \u0026 Board Games and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
