Fascinating they are extremely flexible on some fronts, but on others are quite strict - makes you wonder why... I'll try and track it down, there was a great blog from someone recently describing the whole process they went through getting their R34 refreshed.
Aki from http://www.r33gt-r.com/ is just getting his R33 GT-R done and dropped it off in June. He has expressed the same challenge around not having much information of the process while it is going on - so you are not the only ones.
We can only dream, even just the thought of shipping + refresh + shipping back makes it a costly exercise.
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!

Seems odd to not be able to change the airbox, I am sure they have their reasons!
Yep! Could be anything. As far as we are concerned it's literally the exact same thing, just in carbon fiber.

Stunning - car looks amazing team - well done - a great outcome and another incredible restoration by Omori factory.
How were they with the restoration - did you get much choice on what you wanted to do with it, or was it largely a refresh and refurb?
Great collectors car that hopefully gets to see more shows and driven a bit. Well done.
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.

This is probably my favorite build of all time, It's such a shame there's only so much documented and photographed.
Not that I could afford it, But I would love to know what's the rough figure thrown to get Omori Factory to do this? Even just their hourly rate?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..

Awesome car! Credit to all involved; a true no-expense dream build for many!
Sidenote: This might be the second(?) MNP Z-tune. I was always aware of a (reported) original LX0 Z-tune which was one of the early customer converted builds (I had been told that #1-#13 were customer cars and #14-#19 were "new" cars, can anyone confirm?)
I believe Nismo personally selected cars #1-#13 and the remaining were customer provided cars.

I realise it may upset some purists, the colour change etc, but I think it's absolutely exquisite.
Whilst MNPIII is not my fav colour, I always liked Silver most, what you've done is fantastic. I would have had no issue with the v-cam staying on either.
You guys were great in supplying some parts and helping me out with my build and I always recommend people conatct you with queries/part requests etc, you guys are my fav GT-R workshop in Aus.
Love your work and passion.
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!-

Amazing! Have been watching the progress via the Omori blog (what there has been anyway) - I am travelling to GTR Festival in Sydney and this is one of the reasons why!
I understand why the V-Cam was taken off but I am impressed someone in Japan was so keen to get the best from the car they fitted it in the 1st place!
+ 1 on loving to shoot it on the side as well!
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.

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).

Starting off with a somewhat blank canvas of a car, this Pearl White V-Spec II Nür already has some high-quality parts fitted at our workshop including the Ikeya Formula arms and Brembo GT Big Brake Kit, not a bad start.
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.
