  • 3 weeks later...

I'm sorry for this stupid question but whats the difference between stock R34 front bumper and ZTune? Google shows that they look identical.

Stock R34 GTR.

Nismo R34 GTR.

In built bonnet lip spoiler on top of the grill.

Front grill sides are more angular in shape for more aggressive look.

There are 2 vents, one on the side of the front bar.

2 extra vents next to the indicators.

The vent under the indicator protrudes out for more of an aggressive look.

Nismo Z-Tune.

Similar to the Nismo front bar, but vents next to the indicator have been removed.

The vents under the indicator have been revised, as it protrudes out further joining on to the lower vent making it a 1 peice.

Thanks, bud. I've read the advertisements but how much difference does the Ztune bumper make? Honestly, I feel that the stock bumper with a few fabricated sheets (to channel the air) would be as good and whole lot cheaper. The Ztune hood is CF and that's fine but I prefer the hood with the NACA ducts. Probably the only Ztune parts I would buy are the fenders. As a matter of fact, my setup would almost be like that white 34-R above minus the Ztune bumper.

All, good and personal preference I guess...

The Nismo Z-Tune website says it effectively guides air to the engine and brakes, which what the stock and Nismo front bars do as well.

So it's more just for looks, I think.

Cosmetically the Z-Tune just looks more aggressive.

are you serious your worrying about air channeling on a different front bar? -.-

I can imagine tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent by Nissan paying it's engineers and doing wind tunnel tests on these front bars, so why wouldn't you use that information when choosing a front bumper? rolleyes.gif

Sorry, didn't notice your question.... I didn't get an email notification.

Actually, I've since decided to get the Z bumper. As a matter of fact, I'll grab the whole Z-tune set minus the sideskirts. I'm even looking at a CF trunk and spoiler.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
