hmmmm....i wonder how many "genuine Z-tunes" we'll be seeing from now on.

sigsputnik - while there have been plenty of N1 and 400r copies out there in the past I'd suggest that this would be a lot harder to replicate. Add to that the fact that only a Ztune owner can get hold of certain replacement parts and the cost of producing them is so expensive.

The Z-tune is substantially more than just an r34 with a few go fast bits.

It has been completely overhauled. The engine is completely rebuilt, modified and tuned to 500ps, It has different brakes, suspension, coolers, aero parts, interior. The whole car is pretty much redone!

I believe it was made as a limited/anniversary edition to be the best a skyline could be.

Its a definate weapon.

As a std car its great. It does everything damn well and as far as std production cars go it was easily the quickest thing at Dutton.

Problem is though, it does not take a lot to get a lesser car to go quicker...there were events where it was only 1 second quicker then me...and thinking about it thats the launch through first gear as my car has a dead diff and std RB20 box so i cant launch the thing they way i would like.

Its a great car, but if either of the two R34 GTRs getting around Vic had entered they would have both shown it a clear set of heels. So can be doen cheaper and better in the aftermarket. Actually there awere several events where an SAU forum member in his relatively std R33 VSpec was quicker in a number of events. And you cant blame the driver either as the guy driving the Z Tune is an ex works Audi driver, V8 Supercar driver Carrera Cup guy...its just not as quick/goof as you would hope

yeah - big car, smallish circuits and stuff like that, it wasnt ultimatly suited for it

mayber better for a bigger circuit like barbegello, bathurst, winton, etc - all the bigger v8 circuits

Even still , Sandown is a big track and JAGR33 is his well sorted GTR is around 3-4 seconds quicker. And again, both drivers of the Z Tune have way more experience then him around Sandown.

Its quick, but its still a production car...and plenty of modded forum cars would be quicker...and no way the thing will run 10s...no way

well in theory it is faster than mclaren I guess..not sure if its true if tested..Mclaren has time as as fast as 9s every now and then...Veryon also high 9s

Nissan promised Z tune to be sumwhere in the 10s, but I'd think it'll be high 10s..

yes there is only 1 Z tune in W.A

they only produced a total of 20 cars

so chances are that'll be the only one in Australia ever

no there is no Z tune in W.A

I've seen Steves 34 in the flesh at the track, the street and in a show and it is nice but having the bragging rights, the resale value, the collectability on top of that, the mechanical and aero of a Z-Tune...its a winner.

Z-tune is the GTR to have. yes there is faster GTR out there at less than half the price. but the Z-tune is special. If I could afford one, I would have had one by now.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
