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.

V Spec's were bought back my Nismo and turned into Z Tunes, 20 Made the cut, pretty sure thats all they made....

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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
