[ferni]

I don't believe any more go-fast bits were added, it was just re-tuning... Ben said it was pretty conservative.

Didn't know about the DBR9!! fark me, i need to make friends with this guy! haha

yep andonly 19 were made

this backs up my state ment earlyer about a apx 375kw from the z tune

On 14 January 2005, Nismo resurrected the R34 GT-R for one last tour of duty before the introduction of the anticipated next generation GT-R. Labeled as the R34 Z-tune, the Nismo engineers spared no expense into making this car the most powerful road-going GT-R ever created. With much technology borrowed from the GT500 Racing GT-Rs and endurance racing GT-Rs, the Z-tune boasts a 2.8 L twin turbo instead of the stock 2.6 L engine, racing pistons, connecting rods and camshafts, and an upgraded ECU, giving the Z-tune 500 hp (370 kW) and 540 N·m (400 ft·lbf) of torque. The car became affectionately known as the "Mother of all GT-Rs" and is expected to carry a price tag of $170,000 US dollars. Nismo has stated that this car will be a limited run edition, and only 20 will ever be made and sold.

When they relased this info were they talking about the power bieng at the flywheel or at the wheels! Because most car mags that have info on new cars and so forth are talking about at the fly NOT the wheels, so this would explain why it would be tuned for just over 300kw(at the wheels) and 370kw(at the fly)

I saw this car last year when we came over for Sandown, it was parked near the Porsche Cup cars! looked the goods, as a 170k car would!!

I think he paid around the AU$230k mark.

Read in the Trading Post tonight that the owner has also taken delivery of an Aston Martin (DBR9?) GT Race Car too, not bad

One of these? 6L V12.

I assume it's like the Ferarri 360 Challenge - unregisterable for road use.
