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.

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?

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?

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
