I was surprised to see this pop up on Autoweek overnight:

Nissan’s NISMO folks are launching the craziest version of the mighty R34 Skyline GT-R, the Z-tune. Z-tune features 500 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque from a totally reworked 2.8-liter race-bred engine (up from a 2.6-liter). Other modifications include carbon fiber front bumper, bonnet, front guards and chassis reinforcements. We hear they’re building only 20 of these for worldwide sale and they go on sale Dec. 20 for US$166,000.

Right, now, everyone. We are doing a group buy. An oportunity not to be missed. We should get in contact with Nismo and see if we can get a good price on this. I m thinking they should do a group buy for $159,999.95 each... Perfect.

Seriuosly though, need to hear what Rezz has to say about this.

Actually, this car was on show at the NIsmo Festival. It's the Nismo R34 GT-R Z-Tune Z2 Final, meaning it's the final version of the Z-Tune to be produced by Nismo. Remember Nismo were looking for any sub 20,000km (or really low kilometer) R34 GT-Rs to buy? Well this is what they are going to do with them. I heard they were going to go for about $150,000, so that price is still ok I guess for what you get. Some pics:

Guys that price is an absolute bargain...for two reasons

If you gou and buy a stock, clean, low km 34 and then spend the money bringing it up to those specs, you would probably spend more than that anyway.

Second it will be an INSTANT CLASSIC, like the Nur specs.

How many should we put you down for?

Will that be cash or cheque from your caymen islands offshore holding account? :)

I think many of you guys are having a quiet moment with yourselves right now.

I like the subtle but distinctive bodykit - just like the Mines 34. The nicely pumped guards. I like how they kept the standard body parts that didn't need changing like the wing.

Yes... what would it take to have both of these in your garage...

T.

there is a race between Mine's, MCR (red R34GTR) and nismo Z tune.

nismo Z tune are far behind those 2, very close match between MCR and Mine's, but Mine's win at the end by very small margain.

a Complete Mine's GTR cost 3/4 of the Z tune, but then they are not "limit"

    • 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.
