With the exception of the carbon fibre bonnet, the standard trim level GT-R also received these updates. The seats were upholstered with black cloth rather than the gray cloth used on previous R34 GT-R models, and the amber turn lenses were replaced with white versions. Spec II was an iridium center console and aluminium pedals.It also comes equipped with a carbon fibre bonnet equipped with a NACA duct, which is lighter than the aluminium that all other GT-R bonnets are made from. Spec II has increased stiffness in the suspension and had larger rear brake rotors.Spec model also had firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, thanks to front and side splitters, as well as a rear carbon fibre air diffuser, designed to keep air flowing smoothly under the car.Spec models come equipped with the ATTESA E-TS Pro system and an Active LSD at the rear, while standard GT-R models come with the non-Pro system and a conventional mechanical differential.

The R34 GT-R was made shorter in response to customer concerns who thought the R33 was too bulky.

The R34 GT-R was shorter (from front to rear), and the front overhang was reduced as compared to its predecessor.

The BNR34 (R34) Skyline GT-R was introduced in January 1999.
