1996 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec
A Nissan GT-R is always special, but a V-spec model is that little bit extra special. The mid 1990’s saw the R33 Skyline get the GT-R V-spec treatment, adding some go faster goodies to the GT-R mixture.
When compared to the R32 and R34, the R33 suffered a bit as the middle child, with the majority of fans looking more favorably upon it’s older and younger siblings.
Surprisingly the V-spec was 10 kilograms heavier than the regular GT-R, this was due to the new components, but they more than made up for the extra heft.
These included a four-wheel independent channel anti-lock braking system, Active Limited Slip differential and a newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all wheel drive system.
