Another cool fact not many people know is that Nissan were planning on putting a VQ35DE instead of the RB26 in the R34 GTR and there is actually a single prototype (RWD only) with a VQ in it haha
Larry Chen showed it breifly in a video at Nissan HQ in Japan
@@bmcshane80 Oh wow, I watch him occasionally and didn't see that!
Yep spot on. Nissan were going bankrupt so they had to stick with the 26. Glad they did though!
That's really interesting man. I glad they decided to stick with the RB26DETT instead! In fact, I would have been wrapped if the R35 had an engine based off the RB platform. Almost like what Ford did over the years with it's 6cyl's which resulted in the mighty Barra, but a Nissan RB update... Although the R35 ended up with a monster of an engine anyway, I just would have liked to see what Nissan could have done with the RB platform
makes sense. actually pretty sure they used the VQ35 in the GT500 R34 race car
In 2012 I was fortunate enough to visit Global Auto in Japan, where they treated me to a drive in and photoshoot of 1/18 V-Spec II N1 BNR34’s ever made, which was bone stock outside of NISMO side skirt extensions, rear bumper extensions and blue TE37’s. When you have an experience like that, it kind of makes every other GT-R you experience feel kinda meh!
I may be wrong here Andrew, but in the R33 GTR manual it states that there is two methods of changing from 4wd to 2wd. One is remove propeller shaft of course. The other is to remove air evacuation connector, depress brake pedal 5 times within 10 sec after placing the ignition switch to ON position. The warning lamp for 4wd will now flash twice per second. This method has been used for cars on dyno in Japan and other places.. When checking on internet forums, there is even guys who have confirmed that there is no preload on the front wheels with the car in the air on hoist. I have tried this method myself on my R33. I have also wired a switch on the connector so it is easier to use.
Spot on! I was hoping they would mention it
The pair of test wires under the dash in 33 and 34 for rwd dyno testing and bleeding the atessa hydraulic are very under utilized/ known about. It's in the manual that that's its purpose. Also puts the abs in 2 channel
I’ve got mine run with a switch and it works perfect. In the manual I believe it’s for towing mode, maybe?
@@gorans7518 gtr tows my dads caravan pretty poorly I go to fast
@@putnamehereholdmadoodle towing the gtr, not towing with the gtr lol
@@jonytube sure mate
I like the idea of this series!
I hope you guys do Rotary, 4G, EJ, JZ etc. in the series as well alongside well known shops in Aus.
Keep up the awesome content!
The Audi inline 5 is always forgotten, makes me sad in German
Do the 250 Cross flow
I was so lucky back in high school to do a tour of the Nissan factory as part of our automotive class on the day that Gibson Motorsport unveiled the R32 group A racecars! Best day ever chatting with Mark Skaife and Jim Richards about this all new car. We had no idea then of the impact this car would have in Australia.
no way!! what an experience that would have been
Great to see Terry's N1s in the mix , the fact that he still drives them and of all places, around bathurst in its self is pure justice to the entire R32, R33 and R34 family. God Bless Terry.
this is awesome, the godzilla fact was super cool
also mad respect for not using color + trim to determine rarity, the corvette guys that do that are just clowns lmao
Best channel for a Skyline lover. Thumbs up from Greece!
Aswell as GT-R getting spelt wrong, other Nissan models gets spelt wrong in the same way too, just a couple GTi-R and VZ-R
Fact’s 👌🏾
Especially the part about the R35
Being a GT-R n not a skyline.
Had many disagreements around the topic.
The video the americans needed to see Hawko, great job.
"Selling my ultra rare 1 of 20,000 in this color with these wheels looked at by this japanese shop R32 GT-R" 🙄
Oh 100%, seeing the clickbait titles “buying a rare skyline(1 in 76 made!!!)” and its a 20e auto 4 door in dark green or something 😂
@@invallliiiddd "...with the original 'bill of sale'..."
Another interesting thing is that Silica Breath was incorrectly translated from Japanese and should actually be “Brass” - Bu ra su ended up being translated to breath.
Great video, a lot of new information has been gained.... The origin of the Godzilla name blew me away the most, I've always been on the understanding that the name was coined from the Group A days.
Hey motive
You guys rock awesome content. I love the content and the technical stuff, and keep it coming by the way
Do you know how many base model r33 gtr were made ?
The r34 model numbers really surprised Me
7:25 --> My BNR32 gets back to AWD after a key banger without turning ign off and on? Just slowing down under 5km/h makes attesa become active again
There might be different versions of the attessa in the r32 gtr, because the one I'm used to driving doesn't need to be turned off to switch back to AWD, you just need to come to a stop for a couple of seconds.
FACT :) Actually I think slowing down enough will re-arm 4WD/ABS (don't need a complete stop).
There is an R32 Scuderia GT-R 2/6 currently for sale in Geelong
That was awesome mate! I learnt a lot!
Surprised you didn’t talk about the 1 off FACTORY green R32 GTR that was made for the president of NISMO as a thank you.
Great vid. Thanks
well, the reason R32 GT-R is more of a godzilla for me is because it was the first GT-R that really exploded on the tracs/magazines/gran turismo and were really nice and good cars and were the fundation of the the r33 and r34
I always love getting schooled by Andrew at Motive Video. Keep up with the GTR content because no one on the planet shares the GTR knowledge quite like you guys. 🔥Love the RH9 info, my RB26 RH9 Top Secret RB26 front pipe just arrived for my R32 GTR. I cant wait to do the unboxing video and share some of what I learned from you on my channel. Record Holder 9! Thanks mate!
Andrew can you please do RB turbo talks with all the dash this dash that and what was what.
Thanks for teaching me all this GT-R information. Also I didn't know hyphen is a dash mark/minus mark.
Thanks! Everybody should watch and LEARN!
Great content 👍🏻, very informative and interesting information on the GD-R 😄
Jeetie yahr
Awesome Video. Now to DM all the people on carsales to tell them there GTRs arent that rare.
Man! that RH9 street racing footage brought back some memories. Nostalgia.
MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!
Thanks so much for this interesting video!
Fact: R32 GT-R body design was inspired by another manufacturer dominating Group A before it.
As always great work from Andrew and the team, but you forgot your end screen. Gotta get them additional clicks for that algorithm bro.
thanks for the history lesson.
great vid 👌
Great content! But a little more research into the disabling the 4wd on R33 GT-R would if been good so people have the correct information before they go pulling shafts. The factory service manual on page 18 shows the instruction on how to do this process correctly and is used by Japanese tuners when dynoing.
I built a custom atessa torque split controller that would enable this mode during startup when you flick a switch. It simulated the correct process from the manual and worked very well on my R33 GT-R.
There are so may more features built into these GT-R’s and their ECU’s that were so ahead of their time. Nistune has come a long way to keeping things looking stock and having modern control over the ECU.
Looking forward to more articles like this to correct the myths that have become the norm over time. Keep up the good work!
We kept this one simple
Very informative
Great video 🎉
Love me some good facts. Thanks Andrew.
There is still ways to put a R33 GTR in RWD. Used to do it to mine and never had an issue.. there is a plug under the dash ( orange/yellow plug ) unplug it, start the gtr, tap the brake 3 times and it’s RWD. Never had any issues even going back into AWD.. for R34 GTR, we just pull the fuse out from the engine bay fuse box and it was RWD.. never had issues doing it also.. I just wouldn’t recommend doing for dyno runs, burnouts, no problems haha
such an intersting video, one can argue that old school skylines are just as aussie as holdens and aussie made fords!
Awesome fact video and finally
@telegremmeOfficialMotivevideo lol
11:01 Thanks for using my question Andrew. 😎 I knew the people needed to hear the truth, straight from the horses mouth. 😁👍
PS. Enjoy BangingGears, beat them all. 😈
Nice vid. Can you do one of the Nissan GTR next?
That was a cool vid. Some stuff in there I didn't know... 👍
“Spitting out” FACTS!😂
Love your content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a really cool one guys.
Very cool video. Fyi Wangan translated to english is bayside
im definitely one of the "34 of X color in vspec trim in series 1" guys. I'll work on that. but only for you Andrew. hahaha
Great vid
Knowledge bombs!
Andrew Thank you for making this!!! Make a video about the differences in GTT and GTR and why it's an absolutely lame thing to put GTR badges on a GTT!!!
Australian crews did a great job on the bluebirds at Bathurst.
Thanks for chucking in the GDR 😂
lord have merci... that fvckin' sound!
Would love some long form content on the GT-R's AWD,Trans, or the RB's in general!
My friend has a r33 GTS automatic and it has a button for power and snow .
Interestingly my R34 N1 has an RH9 sticker right on the lower timing cover of its Mine's motor. Checking all the nerd boxes at once. Great video as always.
So does it runs 9.99 or faster?
@@captainbarge The RH9 timing cover sticker was put there by Mine's when they built the motor - I defer to their process. I myself certainly haven't done a 9 in the car.
100% ...keeping it real...Mr Andrew....👍
My futura ba wagon is a 1 of 1, I have the sheet from ford saying this.
Soooo, my falcon is rarer than any skyline 🤣
What do you think about VQs Andrew? I have just spun bearing in my 25det and thinking of vq swapping it, but they don’t seem to make good power reliably
Good job hawko, now all of a sudden, there will be alot of wording changes to "rarest" GTR's for sale on the net.
Exallent video!!!
My R34 has an RH9 intercooler (made by ARC), was built by garage DyuVan, an RH9 club member!
Damn! You lads know your GT-Rs inside out.
Another that annoys me is people saying RB stands for "race breed" or "race bred". No... its just a series name.
Driver Motorsport in Rustburg Virginia.
GTRs, supras, RX-7s and several other JDM options straight from Japan.
Even won some awards at SEMA
They’re our friends.
What book was that information about the ATTESA system in?
15:16 zero BNR32's were painted BJ0 light blue metallic. The rarest colour for BNR32's is DH0 dark green metallic, with only one being painted that colour. Another super rare colour is 301 light red with only 6 being painted that colour.
Do the rb25 awd blocks crack also in same spot at high hp
Yeah but us Aussies call them "GDAHH"s...
Honestly a mostly RWD with 5-10% going to the front sounds sick.
I love this channel
I have a feeling the value of n1 blocks will be increasing after this and prp video
N1 block has been available new since the 90s from memory.
Most of the early RB26 block had already been disposed as they were cracking under 600hp.
You still need to throw atlest 20k on the short block of an N1 block to keep them intact at 1000hp reliabley and this is not including headwork. And then a decent turbo kit and fuel system. The stuff isn't cheap by the time you are making 750+ hp
@@davidyang577 rb30 block way more stronger... Than n1 to me
@Random Thing RB30 can produce lot more torque with minimal mods and has a taller deck, but the bores thickness and block strength is very similar, it seems. The guys who are pushing these to the max, they all seem to hold to around 1300-1500hp before the block all becomes abit of time bomb.
8:33 does going to a standalone aftermarket ECU affect the 4wd system since the Attesa computer reads so much information? I have a bone stock R32 GTR and want to explore my options on tuning.
No has its own ecu
Is there much difference in the distribution of white in R34s? I hear the QX1 Pearl White is much rarer compared to regular QM1.
The 2022 Skyline I seen last April in the Nissan HQ IN Yokohama it was nice but more of a luxury car and nothing like the GTR'S, picked up some good Nismo, GTR and a Fairlady Z watch at a bargain.
From my understanding, in a r33 and r34, even with an atessa ets pro aftermarket atessa controller, it still holds 5-10% to the front wheels, cus of the solenoid. You would have to get a r32 solenoid, to make that happen. Have i got this wrong? Nice vid man :)
if you could fit the 32 hydraulics to it, it might work but might chuck a fit because the ecu may notice the lack of a solenoid, try it see if it has a spaz
Obakemono! What a name!
The rarest colour on the R34 GTR was actually QT1 Pearl White, with only 1 car ever produced. There is a similar other Pearl White, but the QT1 has a little reddish tone in it. The car which is painted in this colour also wears some Nismo Stripes stickers
Epic video.
Great to learn facts from a true GT-R aficionado.
How many do you own?
Thanks for highlighting they made 44k R32s. Unlike what Americans think, they are not that rare.
does all of this go for the 260rs stagea ?
Do the Silvia next!!!
Will a stock R35 outperform a 7/10 modded 32-34 on the track and then do the daily grind commute better as well?
Why are 35s so expensive compared to overseas the luxury tax?
Keep up the vids love em 👍
R35 is still in production. This allows the used units more affordable than the much earlier JDM skyline gtr, which has become rare and collectible.
R35 uses a rear mounted automatic twin clutch transmission matted to a 3.8litre V6 engine. The running gear provides less vibration and a much better throttle response. So therfore, its a easier car to drive for daily commutes.
Funfact about the colors. All 19 R34 Z-Tunes except one are silver, which is named "Z-Tune-Silver". If you search for the color-code, you'll find "KY0".
If you look with the Code alone, you'll find the "Sporty Silver" for all other Nissan-products except the Skylines...
Where can I buy one of them shirts?
not only was bayside blue common, it also goes to shit quickly xD
My biggest pet peeve is that people use the Skyline GT-R Badge for all GT-R's. The 32, 33 and 34 have one badge. And the R35 has its own unique badge. It's slightly different, but still different.
Glad to have two of the three rarest colors in r34 GTR active red and silica brass. You can follow my channel if you wanna see them decked out in dry carbon front ends and lmgt1s and r35 brembos😊
Just curious y u didnt count nismo models in ur numbers?
To be fair only a handful of the world even gets to experiment what a skyline is like
I thought the R33 400r would make an appearance in the rare section, they came with a special RB that wasn't a RB26DETT
Nah that fell under Nismo so he didnt include it.
@@BNR_248 ahh that would make sense.
Bayside is deffo the coolest colour. I have 0 GTR's out of the thousands made, which is very common
What about the R34 GT4 do they carry the same AWD system as the R34 GTR?
its different, not performance oriented like the GT-R.
Settle in boys and girls, class is in session 🙏
"GDR" 😂
Super well presented....
Did not Gibson Motors get all the ideas & developments from Japan when they started racing the R32 in Australia
Watch the video again, and the video we did at Gibson Motorsport reunion.
Someone tell me this song! Between clips
