Thats awesome!!

Is there a unique story about the car? How the owner acquired it ect?

Good question Dimi.
I asked the same ;)
We think alike.

Where the car was stored for 5 yrs until 2010 is not certain.

Bobby was given a heads up about 4+ Z-Tune cars being available up until 2009.
He was told of this "special" Z-Tune being part of the Nismo directorship that was emerging for sale; but sight unseen and with the sequence number still unknown, he had to slap a $10,000AUD deposit on it to be locked in.
Only after the deposit was paid, was he told that it was indeed #1 of 19 (the last 5 of which were conversion to Z-Tune requests).

Bobby only had the car for 3 weeks before deciding to attend the SAU.NSW R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary From Tench Pk Penrith to Katoomba.
A brilliant iconic photograph of the car was taken by Kory Leung whilst travelling up Bells Line Of Road in the mist.
It hasn't travelled any long distances since then.

Yes! Kory took several shots from the car behind.

Both Matthew Everingham and Kory Leung were on duty that day for High Performance Imports Mag.

So is 019 the last Z-Tune, or 018 (plus prototype BNR34-P001)? Everywhere has 2 prototypes and yet after looking at hundreds of photos and spending at least a few hours researching I haven't seen a second prototype car. Any input?

Bobby is crazy. Not only does he have a Z tune. he has a ztune replica with almost twice the power. yet looks identical to the real Ztune. Crazy i tell ya crazy!!

So........the million dollar question.....

 

Will you register it and use it?

Garage and do some heavy petting?

Wait for the years to roll by and then sell for the millions it will appreciate to?

tear it apart and sell it off for spare parts? <<< yeah that one is a joke.

In other words whats the plans, do you have any?

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
