Ant97GTR Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 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.

GorGasm Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 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.

342Four Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 was in the vic leg of dutton rally - glad to see it was being used for the right purpose - not just a show car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142254-luckiest-bastard-in-the-world-i-mean-australia/page/2/#findComment-2653299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142254-luckiest-bastard-in-the-world-i-mean-australia/page/2/#findComment-2653330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
342Four Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142254-luckiest-bastard-in-the-world-i-mean-australia/page/2/#findComment-2653336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142254-luckiest-bastard-in-the-world-i-mean-australia/page/2/#findComment-2653343 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Keets Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 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.

Beer Baron Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 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.
