I must say, it is difficult to tell ER34's that have been subjected to the BNR34 appearance conversions these days. The quality of the work done has greatly improved and some has even had me fooled.
For a comparison between a stock BNR34 and ER34, check out BNR34�ER34????.
Not mentioned in that site are a couple more things...
To be honest, it is not as easy to tell them apart anymore.
One of the most obvious distinction between the two would be the sunroof. The BNR34 never came with the optional sunroof unlike the ER34. So if you see a GT-R that has a sunroof, it's most likely an ER34 in disguise.
Another point of difference is the reverse/fog light. BNR34's have a dedicated red fog light on the right side of the rear license plate area and a clear reverse light on it's left. The ER34's on the other hand, have two clear reverse lights.
However, the N1 BNR34's also have two clear reverse lights but I doubt there are any in Malaysia as only around 50 were made of which 12 were used by Nismo in the Super Taikyu. Such example would be the base car for the Mine's BNR34 demo car, which is an N1 BNR34.
Also, many BNR34 owners choose to swap out their fog light for a clear one as they prefer the more balanced look instead. So it's hard to tell sometimes.
I don't know if there are any other differences you can tell through appearance.
BNR34's have Brembo's but these can be converted on the ER34's. BNR34's have the MFD in the center console but some hardcore conversions have done it in the ER34's too. BNR34's have the RB26DETT, but of course, these can be chucked in to an ER34. The one sure thing is the VIN plate, but then again, who's really going to pop the hood for a stranger. *laughs*
If anyone would like to add on, please feel free to.
