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.

doubt it, money can buy anything!

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

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
