Q: what does the spec mean when t is mentioned in cars? example nissan skyline gtr v spec ii
A: Myself drive a spec 2 R33 which differs in style and some engine parts to the spec 1. All it means its that its a facelift model and although is mainly the original version but has been updated. The v spec its the trim level sometimes means more sporty or an auto or an non turbo or an manual version or a limited version. http://www.nissan-skyline-gtr.info/specs/ handy link with specs and trims on different Skyline models. in fact a quick write up about my spec 2 version to give you a better idea. The R33 Skyline (Series 2) continued the concepts introduced in the R32. Drivers airbags became standard in 1996 as they had been only an option up until this time, passenger side airbags remained an option. For the RB25DET engine the ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers and was instead replaced by smart ignition coils (Ignitor built into coil) and ECU. The RB25DET turbo was also given a nylon compressor wheel. Throughout the time the R33 was produced there were quite a number of different styled lights and bodykits fitted, the actual body/chassis underwent no changes. Among the cosmetic changes in the series 2 were, the headlights which tapered down more towards the grill and were fitted with improved reflectors, the grill (which was longer on the Series 1), the bonnet which had a re-shaped leading edge to fit the new lights and front bumper changing shape in the smallest amount to match the lower edge of the new headlights. Later models of the Series 2 also had the option of having an Active-LSD fitted. The R33 ceased production in March 1998 with the 40th Anniversary R33 Series 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_skyline And as said the t as in GTT And gts-t in a single turbo version against a gt, gts which is the non turbo version.
