seller has no idea

it's not 'M Tune' it's M-spec, and that isn't one: an M-spec is basically a V spec 2 with a factory Robson leather interior and suspension more suited to the European market.

No there is no such thing as a Nismo M-tune.. there is however a Nismo M-spec.. maybe he made the bodykit himself and is dubbed the M-tune.. which would explain the 'rare' part.. or maybe its rare cause there are 0 recorded Nismo M-tune GTRs'...

In the car sales add its a only a V-Spec,

V-Spec's had smaller Nissan badges and the the "V-Spec" is a sticker only. Which is what this car is.

IF it was a M-Spec Nur, it will be based apond the V-Spec II Nur models.

Larger Nissan badge and a "V-Spec II Nur" as a badge. Usually its a Millenium Jade Colour with N1 running gear.

The bonnet should have a NACA Duct as with all V-Spec II came with. V-Spec's did not come with a NACA Duct.

M-Spec Nur's came with black leather interiour and a gold stitching trims with softer suspension for a more smoother luxury ride.

As I'm currently looking for a GTR, this one is still advertised and it was last updated by the seller on 13 December. So this isn't a 2002 VSpec 2 hey? This would be an older car? Thanks All.

The 2002 M-Spec R34 GT-R did 'not' come out with the NACA Duct as did other VS-IIs.

The bonnet is aluminium 'not' C/F as with other VS-IIs. Believe it or not...

Leather - Yes

Power heated mirrors - Yes

Heated Front seats - Yes

Softer (fine grip) steering wheel - Yes

Ripple Control shockies for smoother ride - Yes

Softer Stabiliser -Yes

Typical VS-II rear stoppers - Yes

But... hang on...

Notice the pedals? Not typical VS-IIs in shape are they? Left foot rest is not aluminium either.

And as mentioned earlier, all M-Spec GT-Rs should have the larger/thicker NISSAN badge on the boot & this one doesn't.

Now Terry's puzzled...

Check the one on www.powerplayimports.com if you like?

Thanks Terry, this is an unusual one.

Cheers.

^^^ Obtain the VIN# - Tell us what the "VIN Fasted" check reveals won't you?

With that check, also ascertain whether or not it comes from Northern Honshu or Hokkaido (re: possible rust from salted roads)

Sure will do. That M-Spec at Powerplay looks nice. I'll enquire on that one.

Cheers.

That seller has no clue about the real Nismo Tuned engines. There are 4 Nismo engine variants with an R34. They start with the S1, then R1 and the pinnacle is the Z Tuned motors. But in between the R and Z Tunes, Nismo decided to make one called a Fine Spec engine and only 70 of them were made in 2009. All sold out quite quickly.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
