Any chance one of these will ever come to Australia? Has anyone even seen one b4?

There is a good chance we will see one in Oz eventually although don't hold your breath it could take a while.

There is only 2 Z-tune's built at the moment (press car and one customer car). They are built to order and there is a significant wait (3-5 months after you pay) until it is finished. I'm sure there's more on the wait list to be built though.

I have seen one and I know SW20-GT has also as we saw it at the same place (different days). It looks and sounds better than I could have imagined by seeing the press photos...

If 1 were to come to Australia it wouldn't be until at least March next year (and that's if one is ordered today).

I'll echo what Sewid said, it is truly an incredible and amazing car. The 2.8L engine is so smooth and responsive you'd think it was a 2.6L. Brakes are phenomenal as is the handling and ride quality.

You really do have to see one in the flesh to appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into this car.

Less than 30,000km's and also must meet Nismo's standards (i.e. no chassis damage or rust, Gearbox condition etc...)

It's a big expense/head ache for anyone in Australia to send their car to Nismo in Japan only to have it rejected by them :P But unfortunately that's the way it goes being in Australia :)

I think I heard Powerplay were gonna bring one in for a customer if they can get there hands on one, which I doubt.

It would be simple and very possible for Powerplay to get one here for a customer (for a price of course). You don't need to own a GTR to begin with as Nismo can source one for you. Nismo are very happy to work with international buyers and have done it before for R-Tunes etc. Not a problem.

To set the rumours straight we are NOT bringing a Z Tune into the country at this stage. However we do have exclusive sale rights in Australia hence why it is on our website as a car available for sale :D

Hope that clears up the rumours

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
