As nice as it is, it's got 500hp at the engine.

I'll take my 620hp at the treads GTR instead.

Interesting to see it's value (or any z tune) in ten years. Hopefully for the owners the values don't go the way of 400R's

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if Nismo offered variations on the KY0 z-tune paint? Looking to paint mine in KY0.

Glasurit list a number of options on the paint - but I am hoping these came in as they started to offer the colour for other cars.

I got some kyo made up yesterday, there was a number after the code and the book of Nissan skyline silvers was about an inch thick

Code is "KYO-2"

Right so KYO-2 was listed against the Z-tune?

This is what Glasurit has listed under KY0. I know they offered the colour on the z-tune exclusively at the beginning, so logic would dictate that its the "standard" option.

Im still not fussed on the Z-Tune tbh, yes its nice, but what does it offer over a mild V-Spec? not much really in my books.

If I had 250K to blow I'd buy an R35 for the street and build a weapon R34 for the track/weekends.

Buuuut then again being able to say I own a Z-tune might make it worth while lol

Zebra. Z tune is hugely different to any R34 in any spec. Z tune 1 was a racing machine. Z tune 2 was started in 2004 and finished development 5 yrs later. It used a detuned Z tune 1 motor putting out about 500ps. It used the GT500 block of 2.771 litres and all the Gt500 stuff . Carbon fibre body stiffing . The list goes on and on

The car is registered!!!!!

Im the manager for Top Secret Imports and when we had the GTR day/movie night we were lucky enough to see this in the flesh it is number one built,

It is an awesome car belive it or not the pictures dont do it justice,until you see one up close then you really see the perfection that nismo created lol.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
