Was wondering if anyone knows of any in Australia?

Sure I saw one in Brisbane?

What are they worth?

There are none in Australia as N1GTR said, however the key word is yet

I have had a good look at one in the flesh that I photographed while at the Nismo Omori factory in Japan.

They are an awesome bit of gear!

Also as stated, the estimated price of one here would be over $300k

A handful have made it out of Japan into the UK. They get all the cool cars over there... a few Z-Tunes running around, some 400R's running around, JUN hyper lemon, Top Secret demo car etc.

Has no relevance whatsoever to any in Australia though... dont even know why I posted this :D

They cannot be complied under current laws but......i happen to know of a certain workshop/retailer in Sydney who has had a car (R34 GTR) complied here thats fits the criteria for z-tune conversion that was shipped back to Japan to Nismo to be converted/built. A very costly excercise but im sure once the car is back in Aust. prowling the Sydney streets the owner in sure will think its money well spent.

you might as well try to put an F1 race car through the SEVS compliance procedure instead of the Z Tune.

Only option would be to get one that's already complied in AU, send it back, have it built and then come back...

Or move there for a year n bring it back.

I think from Nismo's selection criteria, the car had to be an immaculate R34 GTR with under 40,000km on the chassis, and the 100 that they were going to build were already purchased. So basically you'd have to buy the stock on from Nissan (or import it on a "loan") then return it, have it modded, then ship it back as a previously complianced car.

funky, not like you to be off the mark. It's 20 total built not 100. it was conceived to commemerate nismo's 20th anniversary.

Pretty sure the km requirement was something much stricter than 40,000 too, more like 10,000.

For most customers Nismo source the 'donor' car themselves, they hand pick it, buy it, completely dismantle it, then rebuild it as a Z-tune. You are right though that if you wanted to buy one in aus you would have to do it the way you suggested. When I was last there at nismo factory they had taken orders for 17 of 20 cars. As of now i believe all 20 are sold. They gave me the break down of how many cars had been sold to each country but I can't remeber the exact numbers. Suffice to say most remained in japan.

They are no doubt the nicest 'factory' GTR ever released and by a long shot the most expensive.

Hmmm, my studies have shown rumours of between 20000 kays and 18000 miles... From memory, the nismo page states 20, so that'd be the best bet.

Also, to anyone who said that i must have been mistaken, I most certainly was not. Turns out, the car was brought by a private buyer and has been sold before delivery to him to an unknown buyer for considerably less than the suggested prices. 6000 kays, absolutely immaculate. Also, there were only 20 made.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
