Yep only 19 Z-Tunes ever made, they are basically hand built by Nismo. Only around 5,300 34 GTR's ever built of any kind, which is also pretty special!

get it right, 20 made...haha

all used cars from the start too, no new cars used..... they used low km cars in perfect nick then modified them to Z spec.

they run about 200-300k last I saw one. a big collector car for sure.

holding out for R35 with a manual gear box...lol most likely be a V8 in 2 years anyhow. based upon the dirt in GT1

good thing about R35 they make a butt load of goodies since it was sold in the states, dual superchargers and turbos on the same car, insane madness!!!!

did anyone see the old school skyline . molded on the new school stag. if I can dig up a photo it was interesting

Don't be like that Ruby. Well you are satisfied with driving a Volvo :P

That pic did the rounds in the Stagea section a year or so ago, and many people were ill, suffering nausea, panic attacks, or just plain hatred to such a cruel act. :P

It is 19 built for Z Tunes, that's from the horse's mouth (that would be the horse in Omori ;) )

If you're holding out for an R35 with a manual box, you'll be holding for a very very long time.

Speaking of Z-Tunes. There is a build thread here on SAU from a guy 'Bobby....' who had a Z-Tune and sold it to build The Ultimate GT-R from what he calls it. Custom built everything, pretty big build thread and alot of haters aha

So, my old mate just passed on the message from the insurance company about the accident I had a couple months ago that wrote off the Magna.

The other driver has been found at fault.

Awesome. Now I can stop stressing.

Had an interesting wiring job today. Went to connect up SLEDs shed into the meter box and I blew the ETSA service fuse :whistling:.

I came from work so I was in my ETSA uniform so when ETSA rocked up to fix the fuse I was trying to hide from them so they didnt see my shirt. So SLED disguised me as a mini SLED and I left out the side. Thanks for the jacket. :thumbsup:

Anyway glad you now have power on the shed SLED

haha, no harm done as it was fixed pretty quick.................It was one of the 3 Phase 80 amp fuses....equivalent to about 20,000 watts I reckon >_<

Thanks for the help Brad....nice to have somewhere else to polish the bike now as well

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
