[sinistaGTR]

Browsing ebay and cam across this HERE...

Z Tune copy for 215k...um wtf. An original z tune i could understand but a copy...

[sinistaGTR]

Then this vspec ii z tune copy for 265k HERE

Geez tangomatts car is shitloads better and i s a NUR. Thats no where near that price

[paulR32gtr]

I think its a german crew that make them - these guys are the aus distributor.

From my understanding they are pretty good - but still Matt's car for ~$100k and over $100k to spare... I know what I would be buying.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Both of the ebay ads have the same photos but 1 states it's a 2.6L and the other has 2.8L...

WTF?!

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

who cares.. so much shit on ebay is overpriced crap.. these guys are way too high for anyone to even consider it..

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^ True yeah...

Some sources say it cost over $180,000 US to make, a Z-Tune and since the AUS Dollar is pretty much 1 to 1 with US (Period)...

What makes them think they can charge more of what the real / genuine R34 GTR Z-Tune would cost Nissan / Nismo to make.

well, its brand new, 0km's besides the chassi i guess. its not too bad. if you had the same equivalent new from nismo just built, i think it would still cost more or fetch a higher price. especially imports, shipping, rego etc.

replica or not, it would still be the exact same car if same parts are used, whether built by nismo or by these guys.

only thing i dont get in this entire ad is this : Be the first to own a 2011 Japo Spec I R34 GTR Z-Tune Replica in Australia. This R34 was completely stripped down and then rebuilt with all new NISMO Z-Tune parts making it better than the original Z-Tunes.

how can a exact replica be better then the original???

For $265K, I'd be picking up a tidy VS2 from auction in Japan then sending it to Omori to get closer to the real deal...

So if I bought a R34 GTR for ~75k.. You're saying all I have to do is rebuild the engine and I can sell if for 200k+... wow tidy profit there

It's ebay.. They can write whatever they like.. I'm the hottest guy alive..

*Because this is written on the forum everything I say is obviously completely true

Hey, that's my name!!

(after quick trip to deed poll)

[Bronx]

no, i was just thinking if you do all the same stuff to a GTR with say less than 30,000km on the clock car alone should be 70k+ then the extensive body work, acid bath, painting, interior rebuild, (dont know if the body got any stiffening), then all the engine mods, drivetrain mods, sourcing all those parts, labor, time and effort, i do think it should cost around the 200K.

even though it is not original signed off by nismo, but its built the way it is in every aspect, it would still count as a z tune in one way or another. to me at least. if i had that exact same car, brand new from factory AND original from NISMO, i think people would spend 300k+

thats just my thought.

[razzak101]

its just some kid trying to pull a scam, he just sold a ps2 with controllers recently, the pictures of the car are carrying euro plates and that does not look like a 760hp engine.

Further more, you will receive your order 4-6 months after payment is made and the order is processed.

The car is actually built by a German tuning company as their 'interpretation' on the Z-Tune and scored a full feature in Speedhunters

Weather the seller is a genuine seller is another question

I'd be happy with that interior, that's some awesome trim work.

My only complaint now is - why try and sell it off the back of the Z-Tune? Why not forge their own path? It needs a unique body kit and wheels.

Yeah, I have seen that as well on Speedhunters.

A great job welldone, but the only represents a Z-Tune cosmetically.

"I'm splitting hairs here..."

Engine parts / upgrade are not Z-Tune, as there is no Nismo engine parts used.

It's all ARC and HKS + I am still questioning if it's a 2.8L...

Car has only replicated a similar power figure with other branded parts of what an original Z-Tune may output.

for 265K I would just buy a Brandspankers R35 and goto town on it.

I'm saying this an I dont even like the R35

[Marlin]

I agree with Chef.... why try and ride on the Z-Tune's back? For that kind of investment you could build something wonderfully epic, even if you were to contract all the work out.

And that vehicle would never retain value like a Z-Tune... because it's just not.

Yes...

And just like HDT cars (and others), there is value in the "Numbered Plate"

[paulR32gtr]

Wonder what they are doing now ARC has gone under.

[Nee-san]

It's very cool, but no cooler then R34 GT-R's that a lot of guys have built, many of whom that are on this website !

Honestly, now, don't call me a hater for that much money I would build in my opinion the ultimate street R32 GT-R and invest the rest.

And probably a DR30.
