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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
