I don't think they would since the Z-tune was supposed to be a limited 20th anniversary model (hence why only 20 were built) BUT you can get a Clubman Race Spec built which actually has improved parts over the Z-tune.

Yea but the clubman spec probably won't increase in value or be as mystical as the z tune. And it's 50hp mess and missing200cc isn't it

I don't know if you're being a smarta$$ or you just poorly worded your response. I'll be kind and assume the latter, although it sounds like you've succeeded in making other people conclude the former.

Your question was whether Nismo still built Z-tunes and I answered no with the inclusion of what they could build you at this time. I never claimed to say the Clubman was as amazing as the Z-tune, just that it has features that are improved over that car - uprated brakes, dry carbon pieces, etc. that the Z-tune didn't have.

If you know your RBs then you'd know the extra power and displacement would be easy to fix especially if you have the money to order one from Nismo in the first place...but you don't, so I think you need to sound less facetious when you reply to people who are helping you to satisfy your curiosity. You'd think someone who has a business would at least know that much.

#1/19 Z-Tune is for sale at the moment. Since you're not in the market for one, you won't be able to see it.

You alluded to "mystical" and "going up in value"... What are you after exactly because there are other cars on SAU which are doing just that?

Every single person (I see) who has replied on this thread knows what they are and is familiar with them anon.

Sorry if I didn't explain properly but I said in my first post purely out of curiosity.

In no way am I in the market for another car.

And yes I saw number 1 was for sale.

When I said the clubman is 200cc and 50hp shy of the z tune, I see it had upgraded brakes and other parts over the z tune.

And yes I know it's easy to make up that gap, but with a small run car originality is everything in my opinion so wouldn't be something I would do IF I were lucky enough to be able to afford one.

Thanks guys

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D 
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
