I was surprised to see this pop up on Autoweek overnight:

Nissan’s NISMO folks are launching the craziest version of the mighty R34 Skyline GT-R, the Z-tune. Z-tune features 500 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque from a totally reworked 2.8-liter race-bred engine (up from a 2.6-liter). Other modifications include carbon fiber front bumper, bonnet, front guards and chassis reinforcements. We hear they’re building only 20 of these for worldwide sale and they go on sale Dec. 20 for US$166,000.

Right, now, everyone. We are doing a group buy. An oportunity not to be missed. We should get in contact with Nismo and see if we can get a good price on this. I m thinking they should do a group buy for $159,999.95 each... Perfect.

Seriuosly though, need to hear what Rezz has to say about this.

Actually, this car was on show at the NIsmo Festival. It's the Nismo R34 GT-R Z-Tune Z2 Final, meaning it's the final version of the Z-Tune to be produced by Nismo. Remember Nismo were looking for any sub 20,000km (or really low kilometer) R34 GT-Rs to buy? Well this is what they are going to do with them. I heard they were going to go for about $150,000, so that price is still ok I guess for what you get. Some pics:

Guys that price is an absolute bargain...for two reasons

If you gou and buy a stock, clean, low km 34 and then spend the money bringing it up to those specs, you would probably spend more than that anyway.

Second it will be an INSTANT CLASSIC, like the Nur specs.

How many should we put you down for?

Will that be cash or cheque from your caymen islands offshore holding account? :)

I think many of you guys are having a quiet moment with yourselves right now.

I like the subtle but distinctive bodykit - just like the Mines 34. The nicely pumped guards. I like how they kept the standard body parts that didn't need changing like the wing.

Yes... what would it take to have both of these in your garage...

there is a race between Mine's, MCR (red R34GTR) and nismo Z tune.

nismo Z tune are far behind those 2, very close match between MCR and Mine's, but Mine's win at the end by very small margain.

a Complete Mine's GTR cost 3/4 of the Z tune, but then they are not "limit"

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
