I'm sure powerplay have done their homework on how to get these into the country, of course all the cars are already sold but they have access to one :D

definately for the real collector only at that price, I suspect whoever buys it will never see it hit the road :P

you also managed to get one of the phattest cars around! :D

ok ok.... Simon, here's the deal. Kind of a long the amerikiwi lines...

R34 GTR VSpec II... then get it sent to mines for the FULL Mines R34 GTR treatmeant! :( 600hp, titanium exhaust, the works... phat BBS rims... everything... i'm sure it could beat the pants off the Z Tune... and probably wouldn't cost as much either :(

The car would have to go through the same system as the Nismo Z-tune. Either buy it here (expensive), or buy it in Japan, ship it here and comply, export it to Japan to send to Mines, import it back in the country.

God only knows how much duty you would have to pay to do that. Better to just buy a complete engine package from Mines (inc. all the other nice bits) and fit them here. Fly over their tuner when its all fitted, and your bonza.

LW.

ahh.... much better idea... come to think of it... amerikiwi, did you get the top Mines guy out to NZ to tune your car???

2002 R34 GTR VSpec II = $100K (at auction?)

Mines parts = $75K?

Fitting/Tuning = $25K? (including airfare for Mines guy)

Very, very rough $ and probably highly inaccurate :D, but how bout them apples Simon. Mines R34 GTR.

for some reason, I've had problems logging onto, so I plucked out my long lost original account..

i have AGTR34 sitting here!I also got AGTR33

Thanks Troy, but we already have GTR.0 & NUR .. "for now" a NUR is the way we are going. Just need to sort who to go through to get it... I read in one of your other posts about that Mark guy? who exports.. I'd genuinely appreciate any insight, if it's not too much to ask.

Amerkiwi??? that you Russell? If so we've spoken before, you put me onto Shoei ~? from the prospect UK, after you refused to sell me your car :) /kidding.

Daniel :slap: lucky it's not you spending my money... I reckon you'd send me broke. nice ideas, I'll just hang them up next to the SLR & CLKDTM Photos :D.

Hi SS8_Gohan

I had "Mines" tune it for NZ gas before it was shipped. A friend has just been in Japan and spoke to the same mechanic who did my car at "Mines".

Hi Mesh, yes its me. Was Shin @ Prospec any help to you?

amerikiwi i gotta say thats one awesome looking car, and some awesome package going into it. We got something similar going into ours, but id rather have M-Spec NUR anyday, if one comes up here in Australia might go for it... goodluck with the install of the new bits...:cheers:

I dont think there is any NUR M-specs in Australia , there is vary few in Japan too.

I was looking at one when i was there last December but they were asking more for a 3 y.o. car than when it was sold new ( 6.9 mil jpy , 30 k k's on the clock ) .

I bought a 2001 M-spec instead , still a nice and rare car but NUR would be the car to own !

I have seen a blue NUR in Sydney, plates were...NUR :)

Are you sure it was an NUR Charlie ? Just the badges maybe ? Was it an M-Spec or V-Spec 2 ?

I saw 3 NUR'S when i was in Japan 2 black and a gold , only one was M-Sec , a black one .

yeah, was about to post, a friend of mine has that car...this is the beast..NIIIICEEEE! :)

here's a pic, doesn't have the plates on it in that pic...was still getting complied when it was taken...

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
