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?

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
