And don't forget guys, this car does a 10.04 sec 1/4 mile according to the owner. It was published in this month's Autosalon magazine, full write up on the car....

Was at Dutton Rally at Sandown and overheard the owner claiming it had done a 10.04 sec 1/4 mile in Japan.... :D

Is it just me or does anybody else find that hard to believe???

500ps + 1500kg = 10.04??? :D

Oh, and why didn't they say what mph it reached??

Still, I'd buy one..... :laugh:

Everyone talks it up... just some go further than others...

It has a lot more than 500ps :/

Really?? Has it been modified beyond Nismo Z-Tune specs?? Or is Nismo underrating the power??

Here's the specs according to Nismo: http://www.nismo.co.jp/Z-tune/data_e/6.html

They also claim it weighs 1600kg, I thought it would have been 1500kg with all the carbon fibre.

Then again all the diff/trans coolers would add weight...

So blacksx, how much power has it got?? I'm curious... :)

I don't find it hard to believe, the data was recorded on Nissan's own test course so I'd be happy to believe it were true.

If it came 4th, who came 3rd, 2nd, and 1st?

P.S. dream car there...

Team Outright

1. Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI

2. Whiteline EVO VIII

3. Mitsubishi EVO 3

The Z Tune actually scored enough points to place 2nd outright however it was docked points by the officials for some "circular antics" in the pits/carpark

The proto version would run 10,s but the one;s they sold would no way go 10.02.

In plenty of best motoring vids the Proto version is way faster/quicker and looks like a 10 sec car but in videos with the street version the car no where near moves, revs or sounds quick enough for a 10, It was struggling to catch a new corvette down tsukuba and didnt catch it not to metion the S205 Sti that was in front of them both.

See for yourselfs.

There is another video of the Proto at Nismo festival Fisco and it came 3rd the vid isnt on Youtube anymore.

1st was ATTKD BNR34 GAIAX

2nd Mines BNR34

3rd Z-tune Proto

4th MCR BCNR33

The proto had closer to 800ps no cat converter and more agressive tune that would go 10.02, the production one would of never kept up with the mines GTR

Thought so, the specs just don't add up...

The proto sounds like it had no restrictions like the production model has...

Thanks for the info!!!!

I can't say for sure if this Z-Tune could run a flat 10 or not.

However what I can say is that in the Dutton Rally Vic this year the Z-Tune on the Airport run ran a best time of 15.46s.

It should be noted that Mark Berry's best time for that event is 15.76s and Mark has run a 10.4s 1/4 mile. So the Z Tunes drag time was under Marks time and Marks 10.4s was done on R Comps.

Having competed against the car there is no question it's a decent bit of kit.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
