Just really after opinions,

I have a 34 GTR, looking at getting the side skirts and rear pods. Just wondering peoples throughts on getting the Z tune from bar, I wont be doing to the guards and most likely keeping the Stock bonnet.

Z tune kit is around 800-900 off ebay

Side skirt and pods are 400....

I wouldnt mind getting my front bar resprayed, but it isnt a necessity lol.

Either build it right or don't do it at all as a stock R34 Zilla looks tough as is...if you Z it, please do mankind some justice and go all the way - and I mean, all the way to the LMGT4s anything less is a crime!! :domokun:

Agreed ^^^

Yes Dan, I share your interest in the Z-Tune front bar - without any interest whatsoever in the equivalent guards or bonnet.

It's a bit more edgy as well as aggressive in certain spots.

Hi guys,

Sorry but I disagree, if you Z-Tune replica it, do it right and do it complete. The Z-Tune front bar is nice, but without matching sideskirts, rear bar and vented bonnet, it's half done.

Cheers

EDIT: If you are ONLY planing to get the front bar - then you cannot say it is a Z-TUNE REPLICA R34 GTR, instead, you are simply putting a Nismo Front Bar on a stock R34 GTR. So to answer your question, if you Z-TUNE it, then do it right or don't at all!!

You still could not say it was a Z-tune replica as there are a lot of other engine and interior goodies that make it up, besides, why would you want to run around telling people you have a "Z-tune replica".....

The only thing that is a Z-tune item, as stated, is the front bar, bonnet and guards, the skirts and pods are nismo items.

At the end of the day, it's just another front bar.

I don't think it looks bad just having the front bar, that said, i am partial to the whole kit, but if using just the front bar is the what you like, go for it, it's still a sexy front bar at that.

all this coming from the guy that was asking where to get "racing tyres" so he could have white paint on them.... do it right and make your car a propper JGTC replica or don't do it at all kev ;)

I was unsure on what that means also, but i assume he's referring to the overfender/flare thingys over the rear guards.

Not sure who makes those though... Nismo?

Haha!

Ah yeah, the rear quarter guard flares are a Nismo item.

They call it a "Rear Fender Cover".

A bolt on item to allow you to run wider tires and retain the flush look.

Otherwise the rear wheel fitment will be poke.

I may not know much about tyre types, but bodykits I have done a few and have seen people that have done it right and not so right. Yeah agreed on the JGTC GTR thing. lol. :thumbsup:

thing is, im not trying to have the full Ztune copy, just looking at what terry has done really

Then go for it mate. The Nismo front bar looks great and just keep it stock looking otherwise nothing wrong with that at all but it won't complete the "Z-Tune" look which is totally up to you.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
