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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
