Just really after opinions,

I have a 34 GTR, looking at getting the side skirts and rear pods. Just wondering peoples throughts on getting the Z tune from bar, I wont be doing to the guards and most likely keeping the Stock bonnet.

Z tune kit is around 800-900 off ebay

Side skirt and pods are 400....

I wouldnt mind getting my front bar resprayed, but it isnt a necessity lol.

Either build it right or don't do it at all as a stock R34 Zilla looks tough as is...if you Z it, please do mankind some justice and go all the way - and I mean, all the way to the LMGT4s anything less is a crime!! :domokun:

Agreed ^^^

Yes Dan, I share your interest in the Z-Tune front bar - without any interest whatsoever in the equivalent guards or bonnet.

It's a bit more edgy as well as aggressive in certain spots.

Hi guys,

Sorry but I disagree, if you Z-Tune replica it, do it right and do it complete. The Z-Tune front bar is nice, but without matching sideskirts, rear bar and vented bonnet, it's half done.

Cheers

EDIT: If you are ONLY planing to get the front bar - then you cannot say it is a Z-TUNE REPLICA R34 GTR, instead, you are simply putting a Nismo Front Bar on a stock R34 GTR. So to answer your question, if you Z-TUNE it, then do it right or don't at all!!

You still could not say it was a Z-tune replica as there are a lot of other engine and interior goodies that make it up, besides, why would you want to run around telling people you have a "Z-tune replica".....

The only thing that is a Z-tune item, as stated, is the front bar, bonnet and guards, the skirts and pods are nismo items.

At the end of the day, it's just another front bar.

I don't think it looks bad just having the front bar, that said, i am partial to the whole kit, but if using just the front bar is the what you like, go for it, it's still a sexy front bar at that.

all this coming from the guy that was asking where to get "racing tyres" so he could have white paint on them.... do it right and make your car a propper JGTC replica or don't do it at all kev ;)

I was unsure on what that means also, but i assume he's referring to the overfender/flare thingys over the rear guards.

Not sure who makes those though... Nismo?

Haha!

Ah yeah, the rear quarter guard flares are a Nismo item.

They call it a "Rear Fender Cover".

A bolt on item to allow you to run wider tires and retain the flush look.

Otherwise the rear wheel fitment will be poke.

I may not know much about tyre types, but bodykits I have done a few and have seen people that have done it right and not so right. Yeah agreed on the JGTC GTR thing. lol. :thumbsup:

thing is, im not trying to have the full Ztune copy, just looking at what terry has done really

Then go for it mate. The Nismo front bar looks great and just keep it stock looking otherwise nothing wrong with that at all but it won't complete the "Z-Tune" look which is totally up to you.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
