A Black Pearl R34 V-Spec with full Nismo Aero
You are looking at a serious heavy hitter. The R34 Skyline GT-R is the definitive “bedroom wall” poster car, but this 1999 V-Spec is more than just a famous face from the movies. This specific car is finished in Black Pearl (GV-1) and shows 37,903 (exempt/TMU) miles on the clock. While Nissan was having a rough time financially when this was built, they didn’t hold anything back on the GT-R, giving it the aggressive styling and over-engineered internals that earned it the “Godzilla” nickname. It isn’t just a standard R34 either; it’s a V-Spec loaded with a long list of Nismo upgrades that make it a massive standout for any collector. This particular 1999 Nissan GT-R V-Spec is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here.

A complete Nismo transformation inside, and out
The exterior of this GT-R has been completely overhauled with a full Nismo Aero kit that changes the vibe of the car. It’s got the S-Tune front bumper, the R-Tune hood, and the high-performance Z-Tune front fenders. When you add in the rear fender flares, side skirts, and the carbon fiber Nismo door garnishes and spoiler risers, you get a car that looks much more muscular than a factory-spec Skyline. It sits perfectly on a set of 19-inch Nismo LMGT-4 wheels in gloss black, which are wrapped in fresh Toyo Proxes Sport tires. To make sure the handling matches the aggressive look, it’s been fitted with fully adjustable HKS coilovers and a Nismo strut tower bar to keep everything rigid.

Inside, the cabin remains a focused, purist workspace with its original gray interior and deep bucket seats. The most important detail here is the white-face Nismo gauge cluster—work was a Nissan dealership and comes with all the certification documents to verify the swap, which is a huge deal for a car of this caliber.

The legendary RB26DETT twin-turbo
The heart of this beast is the 2.6L RB26DETT twin-turbocharged inline-six. While these engines were famously “gentleman’s agreement” rated at 276 ponies, they were built to handle much more. It uses electronic fuel injection and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that puts you in total control of the ATTESA E-TS Pro AWD system. This system is what made the V-Spec famous, as it can shift power around to keep the car planted no matter how hard you’re driving. To give that twin-turbo engine the voice it deserves, it’s been upgraded with an HKS catback exhaust system that provides a much deeper, more intimidating note.

Final thoughts
Finding an R34 V-Spec in Black Pearl is hard enough, but finding one with a genuine Nismo body kit and documented gauge work is almost impossible. This is a collector-grade example that bridges the gap between a stock classic and a fully-realized Nismo special edition. It’s a low-mileage legend that’s ready for a new garage, and it even comes with two keys to get you started.
