^^ True yeah...

Some sources say it cost over $180,000 US to make, a Z-Tune and since the AUS Dollar is pretty much 1 to 1 with US (Period)...

What makes them think they can charge more of what the real / genuine R34 GTR Z-Tune would cost Nissan / Nismo to make.

well, its brand new, 0km's besides the chassi i guess. its not too bad. if you had the same equivalent new from nismo just built, i think it would still cost more or fetch a higher price. especially imports, shipping, rego etc.

replica or not, it would still be the exact same car if same parts are used, whether built by nismo or by these guys.

only thing i dont get in this entire ad is this : Be the first to own a 2011 Japo Spec I R34 GTR Z-Tune Replica in Australia. This R34 was completely stripped down and then rebuilt with all new NISMO Z-Tune parts making it better than the original Z-Tunes.

how can a exact replica be better then the original???

So if I bought a R34 GTR for ~75k.. You're saying all I have to do is rebuild the engine and I can sell if for 200k+... wow tidy profit there

It's ebay.. They can write whatever they like.. I'm the hottest guy alive..

*Because this is written on the forum everything I say is obviously completely true

no, i was just thinking if you do all the same stuff to a GTR with say less than 30,000km on the clock car alone should be 70k+ then the extensive body work, acid bath, painting, interior rebuild, (dont know if the body got any stiffening), then all the engine mods, drivetrain mods, sourcing all those parts, labor, time and effort, i do think it should cost around the 200K.

even though it is not original signed off by nismo, but its built the way it is in every aspect, it would still count as a z tune in one way or another. to me at least. if i had that exact same car, brand new from factory AND original from NISMO, i think people would spend 300k+

thats just my thought.

its just some kid trying to pull a scam, he just sold a ps2 with controllers recently, the pictures of the car are carrying euro plates and that does not look like a 760hp engine.

Further more, you will receive your order 4-6 months after payment is made and the order is processed.

The car is actually built by a German tuning company as their 'interpretation' on the Z-Tune and scored a full feature in Speedhunters

Weather the seller is a genuine seller is another question

Yeah, I have seen that as well on Speedhunters.

A great job welldone, but the only represents a Z-Tune cosmetically.

"I'm splitting hairs here..."

Engine parts / upgrade are not Z-Tune, as there is no Nismo engine parts used.

It's all ARC and HKS + I am still questioning if it's a 2.8L...

Car has only replicated a similar power figure with other branded parts of what an original Z-Tune may output.

For $265K, I'd be picking up a tidy VS2 from auction in Japan then sending it to Omori to get closer to the real deal...

for 265K I would just buy a Brandspankers R35 and goto town on it.

I'm saying this an I dont even like the R35

I agree with Chef.... why try and ride on the Z-Tune's back? For that kind of investment you could build something wonderfully epic, even if you were to contract all the work out.

And that vehicle would never retain value like a Z-Tune... because it's just not.

It's very cool, but no cooler then R34 GT-R's that a lot of guys have built, many of whom that are on this website !

Honestly, now, don't call me a hater for that much money I would build in my opinion the ultimate street R32 GT-R and invest the rest.

And probably a DR30.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
