As nice as it is, it's got 500hp at the engine.

I'll take my 620hp at the treads GTR instead.

Interesting to see it's value (or any z tune) in ten years. Hopefully for the owners the values don't go the way of 400R's

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if Nismo offered variations on the KY0 z-tune paint? Looking to paint mine in KY0.

Glasurit list a number of options on the paint - but I am hoping these came in as they started to offer the colour for other cars.

I got some kyo made up yesterday, there was a number after the code and the book of Nissan skyline silvers was about an inch thick

Code is "KYO-2"

Right so KYO-2 was listed against the Z-tune?

This is what Glasurit has listed under KY0. I know they offered the colour on the z-tune exclusively at the beginning, so logic would dictate that its the "standard" option.

Im still not fussed on the Z-Tune tbh, yes its nice, but what does it offer over a mild V-Spec? not much really in my books.

If I had 250K to blow I'd buy an R35 for the street and build a weapon R34 for the track/weekends.

Buuuut then again being able to say I own a Z-tune might make it worth while lol

Zebra. Z tune is hugely different to any R34 in any spec. Z tune 1 was a racing machine. Z tune 2 was started in 2004 and finished development 5 yrs later. It used a detuned Z tune 1 motor putting out about 500ps. It used the GT500 block of 2.771 litres and all the Gt500 stuff . Carbon fibre body stiffing . The list goes on and on

The car is registered!!!!!

Im the manager for Top Secret Imports and when we had the GTR day/movie night we were lucky enough to see this in the flesh it is number one built,

It is an awesome car belive it or not the pictures dont do it justice,until you see one up close then you really see the perfection that nismo created lol.

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
