  • 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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
