Yeha its a meaty looking piece of machinery.

I wonder if they are all already sold/pre-ordered yet....

There are still Z tunes availble to be purchased. Ideally Nismo would like 1 per country in the worlds major countries (US, AUS, UK etc...)

They say that Nismo's got the car down to a 10.06 0-400m.

Part of me wants to get it to dip in to the 9's. The other realises that doing so means it'll have to be caged for most drag racing venues internationally, so keeping it just above 10sec might be a strategic choice.

Nismo aren't really interested in 1/4 mile times out of the Z Tune (in fact I can't recall any time at all they've been into drag racing), so I doubt there was any strategy to the times it produced. I dare say they got the times as an indication of the acceleration capabilities of the car. The car is more aimed at street driving with the ability to take it to the track and not have to modify any of the cars components in doing so.

i thought the GTR34 ceased production in 2002 ? also would the odometre have a reading of 10km or <30,000km ?

nice car btw. well worth the 220g

It did..

The Nismo Z Tune is classed as a 2005 Model however the base cars used are all 2nd hand R34 GTR's with less than 30,000 K's. The car is rebuilt with ALL BRAND NEW parts so you could say that save for the original chassis and parts of the shell, it's a brand new car. Most body panels are new, the engine is completely new, the interior is new, brakes, suspension, wheels, etc.....

And the Odometer would start at 0km as Nismo install their own dash cluster brand new. I would happily call it a brand new car.. calling it 30,000k's old or a 2nd hand R34 GTR is getting rediculously pedantic to be honest.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
