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:

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
