Thank you for that link! We didn't hear much about the entire process apart from questions here and there to confirm various aspects. It definitely was a costly exercise. A good read. Thank you. Sure! let me know which one you want and I'll email it to you. Don't forget to give me your email!

Yep! Could be anything. As far as we are concerned it's literally the exact same thing, just in carbon fiber.

Nismo were fairly lenient on what options we had, though we let them make the majority of the decisions - after all, it is a Nismo restoration. We did convince them to let us change the colour, add the Nismo Carbon Intake Piping Kit - but didn't allow us to add the Nismo Carbon Airbox.

The Z-Tune is finally HOME - After the what felt like an eternity of waiting the car has arrived in showroom condition. Some of you may have even seen it at GT-R Festival! Thank you to those who did stop by our stand to say hello! Our guys will be in soon to polish & protect it up to 110%. Here are some photos in the meantime straight off the truck and into our workshop.

I agree! I would've loved further documentation on the process. Especially with the coin we've spent, which we cannot disclose at this stage..

I believe Nismo personally selected cars #1-#13 and the remaining were customer provided cars.

The purist were the first thing to come to mind when painting this another colour, but sometimes, you just need to do it for you and only you, at the end of the day you don't need to please anyone else. Thank you so much for your kind feedback!

Sounds like a good plan! Make sure to pop in and say hello when you're there! It's nice to know that the previous owner has enjoyed the car, after all, that's what these cars are for aren't they? But in our circumstances, we'd prefer the car to be in it's original state with a few changes here and there that don't deviate from it's initial OEM spec.

PM me

Be sure to come past and say hello!

We couldn't have picked anyone better for the job! Nope, you'll be able to come up close and personal.

Introducing Z-Tune #15, Australia's newest resident Z-Tune. We found and purchased Z-Tune #15 with the intention of doing a simple refresh before shipping it back to Melbourne, Australia - Plans change however. With the uneasy feeling of a modified Z-Tune the car was instead delivered to Nismo Omori Factory in Yokohama, Japan there would be nobody else more suitable for the job we had planned. A complete certified Z-Tune restoration by Nismo. Starting off with the vehicle; silver, a little tired where you can expect it but in hindsight still a very good base to begin our project. Though we can't ignore the elephant in the room; the HKS V-CAM & Steering wheel which are addressed at a later stage. Whilst we didn't receive any photos during the process, I'll try to fill you in with as much information and photos as I have on hand. An introduction to Z-Tune #15; As you may or not know is that the Z-Tune was built to celebrate Nismo's 20 year anniversary in 2003 and of course 19 customers & their R34 GT-R V-Spec's were used as a base with less than 30,000 kilometers to undergo the Z-Tune program. Here's our car, before our initial inspection (An agent inspected and confirmed the vehicle prior to purchase) and before it was sent to Nismo Omori Factory. It's new home for the next long months/year ahead, Omori Factory. Our plan; A complete head to toe restoration, no cut corners, all work certified by Nismo Omori Factory and done to their particular high standard of work many of you know so well today. This was a must. Inside and out, the car was taken apart for it's rebirth. Obviously the car was driven and modified, enjoyed, thoroughly perhaps. That's ok! That's why it's here. Here you can see some photos of the undercarriage which is in wonderful condition despite being driven. Purist look away; The biggest controversial topic, as some of you may already seen is that we had decided Z-Tune #15 to be resprayed Midnight Purple III. A full respray, engine bay, boot, undercarriage and obviously the body panels were all resprayed by Nismo. We couldn't pass up an opportunity to respray the car a different colour, at a cost of course. We didn't just stop at the body and surrounding aspects; we did the subframes too! with fresh Nismo arms, suspension and bushings to compliment. As usual high traffic areas covered in protective film to prevent any potential unnecessary scratching. No stone left un-turned. The Z2 RB28 engine was removed to undergo it's full restoration returning it to OEM specification. This means, the HKS V-CAM is gone! As great as the V-CAM system is, we think it'll be better to return this engine back to original condition. We thought it'd also be fitting to add in the Nismo Carbon Intake Piping Kit to suit even if it wasn't on the original Z-Tune parts list. My only gripe is that the carbon weave found on all Nismo products are not 'visually' consistent. I would've loved it if Nismo took photos during the process so I could expand a bit more on everything, but unfortunately they did not so I've worked with what I've got. Apologies! Here are some photos of the completed MNPIII Z-Tune! As some of you may have already seen, our car is in the latest issue of GT-R Magazine (#147) Here's a behind the scenes photo of the shoot. On it's way to Melbourne, Australia! (With a quick detour to GT-R Festival 2019 at Sydney Dragway before coming home) Come see this car at GT-R Festival before it heads back down to Melbourne!

FOR SALE: Nismo 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap Product Number: 21430-RS012 Description: The NISMO Racing Radiator Cap maintains higher internal pressure in the cooling system than the standard cap (valve opening pressure : 0.9kg/cm2 *1.2kg/cm2 for Z32). It prevents the coolant from easily boiling and vaporising (the boiling point is approximately 6℃ higher than the standard cap’s 0.9kg/cm2 threshold) and improves cooling efficiency. The NISMO Racing Radiator Cap can also be used on vehicles with a small radiator cap (external diameter 45). Product Warning Because the NISMO Racing Radiator Cap maintains high pressure in the cooling system, be sure to inspect the radiator and hoses before installing the cap to be certain that they are not damaged and that there are no leaks. Cars are particularly prone to problems due to wear. Even if your radiator and hoses appear to be working fine at low pressure, flaws may appear at higher pressure. Cap can be used on vehicles with a small radiator cap (external diameter φ45).

Hey SAU, With our customers permission we're able to share with you his 02' R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür build, currently at 62,XXX kilometers and all original - a super clean example. Simon's goal was to build a purposeful street car capable of hitting the track every now and again with figures up to a responsive and respectable 400 kilowatts whilst retaining an OEM appearance both inside and out. I won't cover the entire build process but I'll add as much as I can.

The legendary RB26DETT removed from the body and stripped apart ready for machining and future assembly. As requested, Damon from Auto Attention to detail Simon's engine bay prior to his motor returning. The 24U R34 GT-R Engine Block back from Speedworks, Ringwood to suit his Tomei 2.8L Stroker Kit. Acid cleaning, crack testing, boring and coating are only a fraction of the process. Not a cheap exercise. Cylinder Head also back from Speedworks with a plethora of work completed. There's something about a freshly machined surface that is so appealing to the eye. Test fitting the HKS cams to ensure all clearances are correct. I've missed a few steps in between but an update nonetheless. Tomei 2.8L Stroker Kit, Water Pump, Tomei Oil Pump fitted - Standard Turbo Manifolds and Sump dummy fitted, for now. HKS Cams fitted and intake plenum gasket test fitted. HKS Cam Gears fitted. As good as the cam gears look the standard Silica Breath cam cover will be covering them. Garrett GTX2863R Turbos & HPI Dump Pipes fitted and mounted to ensuring no clearance issues and or abnormalities whilst doing so. Everything is going well so far. Starting to come together nicely, Turbo Manifold Heat Shields were also cleaned and coated, although we can't guarantee it'll stay like that forever. In fact, it most likely wont. Hardlines also fitted. View from the back for those who are interested, it really does look like a big mess from here. You can see the racks of parts patiently waiting to be fitted to Simon's car in the background. In the meantime, our go-to fabricator/electrician Scott 3D scanning Simon's engine bay to create custom brackets to hold the various fuelling components. More parts fitted, it never ends. Sard fuel Rail and Injector Dynamics Injectors fitted, throttle body also fitted with a new Nitto gaskets to suit. We also ported the Throttle Body in house. ATI Super Damper and ARP Crank Bolt fitted. Finally starting to look like a motor. Nismo Intake Plenum installed and engine covers are starting to go on. Just about completely assembled - At this stage I'm giving you guys as much as I can in regards to the overall build progress. Giving the block mating surface a thorough clean before fitting the new 9L Extended Sump from Hi-Octane. It's a two person job fitting these heavy sumps and more importantly seating it properly to ensure no leaks or damage internally and externally. Remember Scott 3D scanning? This is the result. It's not quite done in this photo but you get the idea, housing the Magnafuel Fuel Regulator, ID750 Fuel Filter and Haltech Flex Fuel Sensor complete with Speedflow fittings. A nice tidy package that is incorporated well once the motor is back in. It's always exciting watching the motor return back from where it came. You can never have too many guard covers and rags. View from above, you can see the Top Secret catch can that SL Customs had sprayed matte black for us. Note how the fuelling bracket fits snugly between the strut top and plenum. Out with the old, in with the new. You can see the Driveshaft Shop Carbon Tailshaft in the back waiting to be fitted also. Brand new Nismo Intercooler and Nismo Piping Kit installed. We had no issues fitting this unit, as you know Nismo make OEM like fit and finish and is an absolute joy to work with. A plethora of parts still waiting to be fitted, it's just about done at this stage. Engine completely assembled and fitted, minus the spark plugs and more. Also in-house our dyno tuning facility, capable of tuning Power FC, Haltech and so much more. Currently on its run-in tune, 250kw @ 11psi - We recommend 1000km+ in varying conditions (low stress, high stress) before re-tuning to its full potential. This car in particular will be expecting a conservative 400kw +/- on E85 post re-tune, perfect for street and circuit driving. A perfect GT-R for somebody chasing the less wild.

Can you please send pics please, especially vents and centre console

Good luck with the sale Phil, beautiful example of the R34 GT-R.

Hey Guys, We have an R35 GT-R coming really soon from Japan and now would be the perfect time to advertise it. 2008 Nissan GT-R (R35) Red 39,000km $98,000 - Negotiable Nismo Tuned ECU Nismo Springs Gearbox rebuilt by Top Secret Japan 2013 Transmission Update Blitz BOV 4 Rear Lights - Light-up Kit Project Mu Spec B Pads - Changed July 285 Bridgestone Run-Flats All 4 Wheel Alignment - September Oil Change - Every 5000km Nismo & Top Secret Warranty Available HID/LED Globes/Lights HKS Intake Stand out from the crowd of white, silver and blacks. this Red GTR has features NO OTHER GTR in Australia has, first of all, the ECU (computer) was tuned by Nissan’s racing division, Nismo Japan at their Omori facility to bring out the optimal performance of the vehicle. The speed limiter has also been permanently removed, at the same time, the stock GTR standard springs were swapped for Nismo springs specially developed for the R35. you’re free to take it up to it’s full potential at any given moment, with confidence and superb handling. In addition to the work done by Nismo Japan, due to a close personal relationship with Mr Smokey Nagata from Top Secret Japan, the master himself overhauled the transmission personally in July 2015, he updated the transmission’s operating software to the latest version, reinforced the clutch, C link and tweaked the gears, of course brand new transmission oil. (all work done is documented detailedly, will provide with sale) Many fear the early generation of R35’s transmission to be unreliable, This work done has removed any uncertainty. This GTR drives just like a brand new 2015, if not better, BUT! the transmission is toughened up to take 800HP with totally reliability. There is no other GTR R35 in Australia that was worked on, tuned, tested and approved by Smokey Nagata himself! (if you don’t know who Smokey and what his company is, just google or youtube him, he’s world famous) the quality of his work is unparalleled worldwide, let alone an Australian tuner. to get something similar in Australia done would cost over $15,000. I have also taken the liberty to size up the front tires to standard GTR 285s, the car now runs on 285s front and rear, unlike the stock standard 255s in the front, which often people complain about AWD’s understeering behavior. this upgrade has eliminated any understeer, she drives like she’s on rails! Never Tracked Car mainly used for long distance drives from Shizuoka to Tokyo (Non-Daily Driver) Just past standard 2 year Japanese Road Worthy Check in June 2015 (AKA “Shyaken” which has much higher standards than Australian RWCs or MOTs) always parked indoors and under shelter Sale comes with RWC included and all receipts and warranty.
