The body shell of the R34 is much stiffer, bending stiffness is up 56% and tortional rigidity has doubled! Add beefed up rear crossmember and mounts, to encourage tracking fidelity from the rear wheels, and an adjustable split rear wing on all models and we're talking a seriously more agile car with less bulk, a more rigid shell and superior aerodynamics/downforce. On the V.spec there are ground effect underbody diffusers front and rear to suck it to the ground Ferrari F355 style. The front flat bottom tray is made of fiberglass and the rear one, which has to withstand the high temperature from the exhaust pipes, is made of carbon fiber.
Another obvious improvement is the use of a 6-speed Getrag 'box instead of 5-speed. This improves shift quality and performance. The hooligans have even installed a traction-control-killing button to flick in power oversteer :)
