More specifically, how many:

Nismo R-Tune -------- ?

GTR N1 --------------- 45

M-Spec --------------- ?

V-Spec II NUR ------- 750

R34 Autech ----------- ?

and any others not listed?

I will update this list as we gather more info in this thread.

To say the Z-Tune is based on the V-Spec II is incorrect. The Z-tune could be built on any GTR with low KM's provided it met with Nismo's quality control. I believe the Z-tune in Australia was originally a Bayside blue 1999 model V-Spec GTR.

Also it is pointless to count how many R-Tune's there are because tomorrow there might be another one. Anyone can get the R-tune treatment done.

On another topic. Here's a brochure for the Midnight Purple II GTRs:

R34GTR%20-%20Midnight%20Purple%20Pearl%20II%20Brochure%20-%201.jpg

There was another colour (Midnight Purple Pearl III) which was later produced for the V-Spec II but not sure if that was a limited run.

correct me if im wrong but wasnt there a Z-Tune 1 AND 2?

the latest one was number 2 and is classed as a '2006 r34 GTR Z-Tune Z2'

the engine was also changed from the Z1 to Z2
SPECIFICATIONS

Base Model: Skyline GT-R (BNR34) V-spec (used)

Body Color: Z-tune Silver (KY0), special color for R34GT-R Z-tune only.

Engine Model: RB26DETT Modified spec, "Z2" (Z-tune concept engine spec.2)

Good info thanks. Ive researched a bit more yes a Z Tune can be based on any GTR that meets the requirements. R tunes are not limited production cars.

Also apparantly NISMO made a press release to say that only 17 NISMO Z-Tunes were built for customers in the end for a total of 19 Z-Tunes globally. 2 Prototypes and 17 customer cars.

so there are really only 17 road versions? can anyone confirm this?

The way I understand it is Nismo made a prototype Z tune with a "Z1" spec engine in 2002 for Tuners Battle. However all customer Z tunes have "Z2" spec engine.

the only donar 34 gtr's they could not use for the z-tunes were the limited runs of the midnight purple II and III

Any idea how many midnight Purple IIIs were produced? or if its indeed limited edition?

A little bit more info I have found.

The R34 sold around 12k units in total from 1999-2002.

And the last GT-R in Japan, the NUR's fetched at least a price tag of over $100,000, as they were the last of the breed and most were pre-ordered. Only 1000 units made of those.

What do you think of these quotes?

Ok, bit more info to add there were apparantly 189 midnight purple III's produced jan 2000 and of course the 300 midnight purple II 's jan 99 both limited runs were based on the series 1 GTR's and came in both v-spec and standard models both these limited runs were not allowed to be used for the z-tune production

The official number for R34 GTR's is 12,175

1999 - 5536

2000 - 1859

2001 - 2197

2002 - 1775

2003 - 2 ( yes this is correct 2 GTR's were made from spare parts apparently and are not included in the official chasis number list as number BNR34-404495 was the last build on 29-8-02 both cars are said to have been given to the skyline museum in japan there is nothing stated as to what spec they were v-spec II , M-spec etc.

standard - 3,962

V-spec , V-spec II and M spec models - 7,338 (not sure if this includes the 1000 Nur editions)

V-spec N1 - 45 ( N1's were made in both V-spec and V-spec II no list of numbers of each)

80 cars were sent to england through nissan all as far as i know were V-spec not sure if they are included in the official numbers.

The last official GTR to come off the production line BNR34-404495 was a standard V-spec II in silver WV2 from the Tochigi plant on 29-8-02 this was sold to a customer.

V-spec II , M-spec and standard models were being built along side the Nur models so the last GTR made was in fact not a Nur edition but a standard v-spec II but no doubt worth alot more then any Nur edition.

Also of note the last GTR made from the Murayama plant was in march 2001 (the same month the plant shut down) it was another V-spec II in bayside blue BNR34-010107 this car was given to the skyline museum

let me know if any of this is wrong as my japenese is not that great

considering it is the last skyline GTR made with the RB engine i would say so, might even rival the Z-tunes in value

Thanks gtr13, I have updated the first post with your data.

Any idea the break down for numbers of each V-spec, V-spec II and M spec models produced?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
