And don't forget guys, this car does a 10.04 sec 1/4 mile according to the owner. It was published in this month's Autosalon magazine, full write up on the car....

Was at Dutton Rally at Sandown and overheard the owner claiming it had done a 10.04 sec 1/4 mile in Japan.... :D

Is it just me or does anybody else find that hard to believe???

500ps + 1500kg = 10.04??? :D

Oh, and why didn't they say what mph it reached??

Still, I'd buy one..... :laugh:

Everyone talks it up... just some go further than others...

It has a lot more than 500ps :/

Really?? Has it been modified beyond Nismo Z-Tune specs?? Or is Nismo underrating the power??

Here's the specs according to Nismo: http://www.nismo.co.jp/Z-tune/data_e/6.html

They also claim it weighs 1600kg, I thought it would have been 1500kg with all the carbon fibre.

Then again all the diff/trans coolers would add weight...

So blacksx, how much power has it got?? I'm curious... :)

I don't find it hard to believe, the data was recorded on Nissan's own test course so I'd be happy to believe it were true.

If it came 4th, who came 3rd, 2nd, and 1st?

P.S. dream car there...

Team Outright

1. Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI

2. Whiteline EVO VIII

3. Mitsubishi EVO 3

The Z Tune actually scored enough points to place 2nd outright however it was docked points by the officials for some "circular antics" in the pits/carpark

The proto version would run 10,s but the one;s they sold would no way go 10.02.

In plenty of best motoring vids the Proto version is way faster/quicker and looks like a 10 sec car but in videos with the street version the car no where near moves, revs or sounds quick enough for a 10, It was struggling to catch a new corvette down tsukuba and didnt catch it not to metion the S205 Sti that was in front of them both.

See for yourselfs.

There is another video of the Proto at Nismo festival Fisco and it came 3rd the vid isnt on Youtube anymore.

1st was ATTKD BNR34 GAIAX

2nd Mines BNR34

3rd Z-tune Proto

4th MCR BCNR33

The proto had closer to 800ps no cat converter and more agressive tune that would go 10.02, the production one would of never kept up with the mines GTR

Thought so, the specs just don't add up...

The proto sounds like it had no restrictions like the production model has...

Thanks for the info!!!!

I can't say for sure if this Z-Tune could run a flat 10 or not.

However what I can say is that in the Dutton Rally Vic this year the Z-Tune on the Airport run ran a best time of 15.46s.

It should be noted that Mark Berry's best time for that event is 15.76s and Mark has run a 10.4s 1/4 mile. So the Z Tunes drag time was under Marks time and Marks 10.4s was done on R Comps.

Having competed against the car there is no question it's a decent bit of kit.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
