sounds like from snowy's report that a 10.something is certainly attainable for it. 10.04 maybe not, but it's not really the point. it's not a drag car. just a very capable, and desirable road car.

hmmm... was this a GTR that was sent back to Nismo to get all the Z-Tune parts put on, then the car was sent back out?

because i've heard there is one of the 20-22 here, but it's never been tracked. Meaning, there are 2 Z-Tunes. Both in melbourne, 1 is one of the original Nismo factory made ones, 1 is a fully kitted out one...

I have no idea who you are talking to but they are feading you some inacurate info. there were only 20 Nismo GTR Z-tune made. They were made to commemerate nismo's 20th anniversary, not their 22nd aniversary, or their 23rd. 20th. and as such 20 is it. no more, no less.

There is only 1 in Australia. Made by nismo just like the other 19 were. a nissan GTR with a body kit is not 'a fully kitted out Z-tune'. If it doesn't have a plaque on it that says Nismo GTR Z-tune XX/20 then it's not a Z-tune. pretty simple.

Yeh Giants car is a little lighter then most R32s (i think) and has the close ratio box and is makign more power then the Z-Tune. With 320swkws i woul dbe very surprised if it ran a lot 10. Perhaps a 10.99999 :(

Unless of course the thing has another 9psi they can wind into it and make a lot more power

beer baron, i said 20-22 because i couldn't remember exactly.

There is nothing stopping you from "making" a Mines GTR, and the same for a Z-Tune, you can make one from your existing GTR. And, as far as i knew, this was the ONLY way to bring one out to australia.

Get a normal GTR here, compliance. Ship back to japan. Get Nismo treatment. Bring back to australia.

This, technically, is NOT one of the 20 built.

Granted the guy who told me that his clients car, that's a Z-Tune, which is not tracked, doesn't know a lot about jap imports. Owner's name was 'John'.

i dunno... just something i heard. Because if the only way to bring one here, is to do the whole back and forth thing.. then we still don't have one of the ORIGINAL 20?? i could be getting confused somewhere along the line though...

I hear what you are saying...and you could build your own Mines R34 but you cant build a Z-Tune. Nismo have the car and owner details of each car and if you are trying to buy parts then you have to own one of the 20 cars to get parts. So unless you go and guess the turbo specs, make the panels, get Brembo to do a special run of the calipers for you, copy all the coolers and installation etc, forge the build plate etc etc then you may be able to have a look a like. But since Nismo wont sell you any of the parts you cant build one

right o. I was mistaken then. I thought Nismo were building them from scratch, as oppose to sourcing mint condition, 2nd hand ones.

well, off to tell my car detailer he's quite wrong :laugh: sorry for the confusion

well, apparently this owner also has about 10 other AMAZING cars. ferrari's, 2 x GT3's... etc... got good tastes :miner:

Im in japan at the moment and we happened to pass the omori factory and had to pay a visit of course...

We walked into the garage entrance and first we saw an nismo r32 gtr s tune, next to which was an r33 gtr 400R, next to which was an r34 gtr ztune. We got to sit in it! Under the bonnet was the plate which showed it as being no. 1 of 20. This car by far is my dream car but its pretty much impossible to aquire even if I was loaded, but to see it and sit in it was an awesome experience and the keys were sitting in the ignition too :( haha, but they wouldnt start it!

They couldn't build them from scratch as there was no more R34's being produced :laugh:

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
