there's S (Street?) Tune, R (Race?) Tune and finally Z Tune, which is meant to be the "ultimate tune that won't be bettered"... so it'd be in your best interest to not put out a Z Tune a month after the car's launched in a possible 5 year production run.

Nismo will DEFINITELY want to TUNE an R35 to CAPITALISE on the tidal wave of it's popularity.

They're going to have an international consumer pool, many of them fat Americans with heavy pockets.

A Z-tune, or whatever they will call it, is as likely to be built as mammals need to breathe.

They'll also want to have a hand in adding art to engineering beauty.

I don't agree at all. I would wager there will be no R35 GTR Z tune. The Z tune was made for a couple of special events.

they commemorated nismo's 20th anniversary by building 20 special cars

they commemorated the ceasing of production of the LAST SKYLINE GTR by producing their FINAL tuned version. the Z tune.

I'm sure they will make parts for the new GTR, and they will almost certainly produced a lightly tuned version or versions (small power upgrade, slightly different body kit etc) like they currently do with the 350Z and like they have done in the past with the skyline GTRs, but I would highly doubt there will be an R35 GTR Z-tune. it just doesn't make sense.

Nismo don't make any S-Tune anything anymore so there will be no light tune R35 GT-R from Nismo. Nissan make all the S-Tune stuff now but will unlikely go much further than stickers and aero parts to retail at dealerships.

That does not rule out an R-Tune version and I'm guessing this is already in development. Nismo have a lot on their plate though developing the SuperGT car so I think this is not a priority.

Agreed there wont be a Z TUNE. But im 100% sure there will be some other special model to come few years down the track.

33 - 400R

34 - Z tune

35 - ??

I'd hazard a guess that the racing development team and the consumer product development team are seperate... and once the former collects enough data on parts then the latter will set about making products for consumer use.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
