^^ 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.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
