geez. everyones a critic. just accept that the OWNER did what he wanted to with it. I'd say the wheel was probably changed more for feel than looks and the stereo boot install looks to me like it can be lifted out quite easily/quickly for track use. hydraulic hand brake makes sense too I guess. personally I don't think I'd do any of those things to it, but don't jump all over the poor guy for doing what HE wanted to HIS car. I don't see any of you boys driving Z-tunes... lol

I agree Richard... I'd say most people are just jealous.

I'd put the stereo in (minus the big boot install... I need room for my golf clubs) but that's about it. And the wheel does feel very good to drive with from 1st hand experience. Feels better than an R34 GTR with the STD wheel.

You can also take your 34 to nismo and get the full Z-tune treatment to, costs a shite load though and the car has to be really low k's

no you can't. and before we get into an argument, having been to nismo japan and asked Yuka Kasagawa (nismo sales, shinagawa japan) I can be pretty certain my information is correct :(

Sorry mate, but your wrong (no offence), you cant take your r34 gtr to "nismo" and get "the full Z-Tune treatment" you can only buy a few selected ztune parts from nismo like front gaurds,bonnet and front bumper etc, but you cant just take your car to nismo and ask them to turn it into a ztune, only 20 ztunes were ever made, nismo wont make anymore, no matter how much you pay them!

Nismo do not sell the Z-Tune parts to non-Z-tune owners unfortunately. They will sell you a fibreglass replica part but you cannot buy the carbon fibre parts from them unless you own a Z-tune.

This information comes from the manager for international sales at Nismo in Omori office.

not anymore you can't... all 20 are sold out some of the 20 were complete cars offered by Nismo and some were conversions but still only 20 were ever made.

nah click on the Package Cars Line Up Link and it only has S Tune, S Tune S1, S Tune R1 and F Sport GT available for the GTR

no you can't. and before we get into an argument, having been to nismo japan and asked Yuka Kasagawa (nismo sales, shinagawa japan) I can be pretty certain my information is correct ;)

Fair enough, don’t remember where I read it but must have been wrong, looks like the F-sport GT package is the next best thing

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
