Thats awesome!!

Is there a unique story about the car? How the owner acquired it ect?

Good question Dimi.
I asked the same ;)
We think alike.

Where the car was stored for 5 yrs until 2010 is not certain.

Bobby was given a heads up about 4+ Z-Tune cars being available up until 2009.
He was told of this "special" Z-Tune being part of the Nismo directorship that was emerging for sale; but sight unseen and with the sequence number still unknown, he had to slap a $10,000AUD deposit on it to be locked in.
Only after the deposit was paid, was he told that it was indeed #1 of 19 (the last 5 of which were conversion to Z-Tune requests).

Bobby only had the car for 3 weeks before deciding to attend the SAU.NSW R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary From Tench Pk Penrith to Katoomba.
A brilliant iconic photograph of the car was taken by Kory Leung whilst travelling up Bells Line Of Road in the mist.
It hasn't travelled any long distances since then.

So is 019 the last Z-Tune, or 018 (plus prototype BNR34-P001)? Everywhere has 2 prototypes and yet after looking at hundreds of photos and spending at least a few hours researching I haven't seen a second prototype car. Any input?

So........the million dollar question.....

 

Will you register it and use it?

Garage and do some heavy petting?

Wait for the years to roll by and then sell for the millions it will appreciate to?

tear it apart and sell it off for spare parts? <<< yeah that one is a joke.

In other words whats the plans, do you have any?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
