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...

T.

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"

    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
