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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
