Yeha its a meaty looking piece of machinery.

I wonder if they are all already sold/pre-ordered yet....

There are still Z tunes availble to be purchased. Ideally Nismo would like 1 per country in the worlds major countries (US, AUS, UK etc...)

They say that Nismo's got the car down to a 10.06 0-400m.

Part of me wants to get it to dip in to the 9's. The other realises that doing so means it'll have to be caged for most drag racing venues internationally, so keeping it just above 10sec might be a strategic choice.

Nismo aren't really interested in 1/4 mile times out of the Z Tune (in fact I can't recall any time at all they've been into drag racing), so I doubt there was any strategy to the times it produced. I dare say they got the times as an indication of the acceleration capabilities of the car. The car is more aimed at street driving with the ability to take it to the track and not have to modify any of the cars components in doing so.

i thought the GTR34 ceased production in 2002 ? also would the odometre have a reading of 10km or <30,000km ?

nice car btw. well worth the 220g

It did..

The Nismo Z Tune is classed as a 2005 Model however the base cars used are all 2nd hand R34 GTR's with less than 30,000 K's. The car is rebuilt with ALL BRAND NEW parts so you could say that save for the original chassis and parts of the shell, it's a brand new car. Most body panels are new, the engine is completely new, the interior is new, brakes, suspension, wheels, etc.....

And the Odometer would start at 0km as Nismo install their own dash cluster brand new. I would happily call it a brand new car.. calling it 30,000k's old or a 2nd hand R34 GTR is getting rediculously pedantic to be honest.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
