R34s...please!

[Marko R1]

This is worth reading...taken from wikipedia:

Z-Tune

Nismo originally designed the concept of the Z-tune in 2002 when Nissan was putting an end to the R34 Skyline production. The first Z-tune was built in 2003, using a used 2002 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II. It was built with a concept RB26DETT 'Z1' engine. This engine was based on Nissan's Le Mans GT2 and GT500 racing experiences. As with the racing vehicles a strengthened engine block and stroked crankshaft were utilized. The engine was also bored. With the new displacement of 2.8L and upgraded turbo-chargers the Z1 produced 370 kW (500 hp). The Z-Tune had a 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) time in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of over 195 mph.[citation needed]

Nismo was then given the approval from Nissan to build Z-tune models for the Nismo anniversary. Nismo then purchased 20 used R34 GT-R V-Specs, each with less than 18,000 miles (29,000 km) on the clock, they were then completely stripped and were resprayed to a "Z-tune Silver," a special color exclusively for the Z-tune.[18] For each of the 20 production models, the 2.8L engine was revised to allow it to reach 8000 rpm. The turbochargers were supplied by IHI in Japan. The engine is advertised as making as much as 370 kW (500 hp) (for warranty reasons). This second revision of the Z-tune engine is called the 'Z2'. The bodywork is designed with the same functional components used in Nismo's GT500 racing cars, such as engine bay vents on the hood and fenders, as well as wider fenders for wider wheels. The Z-tune is also improved with an aggressive suspension setup from Sachs, and a specially designed Brembo e brake system.

The entire car is essentially handmade, with the car being completely stripped and re-built from the chassis up. Engineers reinforced and stiffened the chassis seam welding in key areas such as the door seams and door frames and added carbon fiber to the strut towers and transmission tunnel and the engine bay, completely redesigning the suspension, drivetrain, engine, gearbox and other components so as to work at maximum efficiency and reliability as is expected of a road-going vehicle. Although Nismo planned on building 20 cars, they ceased production on only 19 (including 2 prototypes).[19] The Z-tune is often regarded as the most expensive (prices for some have been known to exceed US$180,000) street legal GT-R ever built.[citation needed]

Hehe...

Well there's a R34 GTR M-Spec waiting on the docks of Kobe bound for some lucky owner in Oz.

Great cond - great price.....

She hasn't been adopted ('er bought) yet, so......

I'll let Iron Chef Whispers tell the rest!

What colour is it Terry and how much??

[GTR-N1]

May I allow Iron Chef PMs reveal the price, but I shall insert a couple of Pics now for you.

* It has done about 65,000 genuine Kms (Nismo cluster installed when new at Nissan)

* It is owned by a Japaneses motor technician

* It has full history

* It has had a life away from the salt of the sea or snow

* It won't be appearing in any Jap Auction as far as I know

* Modifications include GT-SS Turbs > 500HP (but I don't know what psi or RON)

From the outside it looks awesome, even the seats. But the engine bay is so dirty with quite a few mods. I guess it's for the guys who don't buying highly modified cars.

Although, there is/was an mspec for sale at xtreme motorsports in Sydney, it wasn't a millennium jade but more of a gold colour?

Another 34....

[Marko R1]

Out of interest, how would u rank from the least to most regarded r34 when looking at the vspec, vspec2, n1, z-tune, mspec etc?

[sinistaGTR]

that question is near on self explanatory...the z tune

[GTR-34A]

I would go from the top....

Ztune

N1 (VSII then VS)

Nur Mspec (mainly for rarity)

Nur vspecII

mspec

Vspec II

Vspec

Having said that, rarity wise i believe there are more vspecs than nons... and today, i would still take a great condition non VS over a poor condition Nur...

just my 2cents..

Silica Breath perhaps? (see below)

That is one of the best r34s I've seen! Is that a factory colour? Almost looks like one of top secrets cars

Wheels on the gold one look massive.

Silica Breath = Paint Code "EY0"

Compliments of N1GTR > Paint Code Sticky

beat me to it

[GTR-N1]

beat me to it

But your post still prompted me to think,...

it must be a bit difficult to find what rims would suit Silica Breath...

I'm guessing that gold, titanium, chrome, white or even black rims might not suit that coloured car?

Perhaps just matt silver - hmmm, maybe bronze? Thoughts?

[Marko R1]

I agree with you terry...gold or bronze would clash, white would not work as well.

Its either aluminium as per pic or maybe even black.
