z-tune r34 GTR skyline

[naed240sx]

Just wanted to rave about how badass the stated car is. Horspower numbers are incredible, and Car and Driver states a 3 second flat 0 to 60 time. wow is all i have to say

[D1SR240]

Yes, it truly is an incredible car.

[ILikeMy240sx]

if I win a lotto Im buying one and Ill put a NICO sticker on it if Greg makes me The NICO GOD!!! haha

[Mixmastamunkh]

10 second STOCK quarter mile.

if you can even call a car like that stock.

still. mutha f00king amazing.

Yeah NIsmo gets the job done. If I remembered correctly, Honda also has a limited edition of their tuned NSX (only 5 available). But the catch is.. you have to pay 4times price of the current NSX. The number? 298ps... same as the NSX. Honda's reason?.. it's limited production model... lamn!

[naed240sx]

yeah honda is only releasing it for their jgtc purposes.it has a carbon fiber body and snorkel and sells for 500,000 dollars. Only 5 will be sold as a requirement. They need to have the car in "production" in order to fill a requirement for the races.

the gtr ztune is all old low miles gtr they hooked up... go nissan!

if GT300 JGTC only needs 300ps, then that's good enough for me. If it really and truly is a full CF-shelled JGTC car for the street, then $500k is probably about right. I mean, that's half of what the race cars cost.

Does anyone have more info on this NSX? I'd love to know what all racing parts it really has. i.e. centerlock wheels, carbon brakes, frame structure, re-mounted engine, blah blah blah, anyone have a site or something? Even if it's in Japanese.

ztune is cool but why not just import over a r34 and dump say 50-60grand into it... it'll slaughter the 0-60 in 3 seconds. pushing say 1khp with everything done to your liking probably doing 0-100mph in 5-6seconds... and 0-60 in 2 or less.

i guess it's just cool to own one of the limited production models.

Can't I get it yellow ? jk

Are you on crack? Nismo is the ultimate nissan tuner and you think you have something better in store for the skyline than they do? Come on man, SCC did a full write up on this thing and there almost nothing you can do to this car for your $60,000 that hasn't already been done by Nismo. Belive it or not some times factory tuners do get it right and this car is the perfect example, go nismo

[Juujai]

nismo stuff is basically rebranded... it's not like they're giving you a good deal at 170k... they do need to make money

a lot of the parts are still not done all the way. where's the triple plate clutch with chromoly flywheel, screw sachs we want ohlins/quantum!, forged magnesium wheels, wheres all the strengthened bolts? head, connecting rod, crank. no full counter crankshaft? theres more too. and with a r34 vspec 2 and with about half the cash we could probably build more of a monster.

i don't see the car as that special. it's nice but i dont see where the crazy price tag comes from besides the limited production name. there's tons of other production cars like mine's or tommy kaira for example.

This is the article I read, try not to jizz on the screen

The first paragraph says it all ( for the most part ) about the reasoning behind the engineering going into the Z tune.

[240sx2soon]

I thin kthe other thing to consider here is that you will be one of 20 people on earth to own this car and if you sell it in 10 years you will more thn likely MAKE money on it. Build your other GTr and try to sell it in 10 years for more than what you paid, I'm bettin it ain't happening.

Yeah, like that re-branded dry-carbon chassie re-enforcement, or that Titanium exaust system that was just lifted of the run of the mill skyline and slightly modified.

Go import a R34, dump $60K worth of modification into it, then show me your factory warrenty, OH SNAP

And nissan isnt making any money on what is essentially and advertising campaign. Cost of materials (lots and lots of titanium, carbon fiber and aluminum), assembly and dissasembly labor (ever pay for work at a high end shop??? $$$), research and development, top dollar 3rd party suspension and brakes custom made for z-tune, windtunnel tuning and aero bodywork development... all that on TOP of buying mint condition, low milage R34 GT-R's.

WTF... are you freaking serious?

How could you compare a machine that has been properly engineered and manufactured to some crap *** back yard DIY job... That's no appreciation for excellent engineering buddy. It's not like they decided to slap on some slightly modified parts and call it a Z-Tune.

If you can make anything close to reliable, advanced, and fast as that car by your self with the same amt of money I will be your slave for the rest of my life...

EDIT: do you even know what it takes to build a car? how much R&D you actually have to do to make it happen? Im not talking about some DIY job Im talking about proper engineering. I know this because I was part of my schools FSAE team and its no joke.

[xero1]

i wish i had an extra 170k to spare

[NoTcHbAcK240sx]

yeah cant wait to get mineee lol

Thank god, I was begining to think I was the only one defending my position. Thanks to Jspec tuner also , i hate it when people think they can reproduse what the factory makes for less money. There are alot of cars out there that can be redone by the after market for less money with better results but the Z tune ain't one of them.

[intrexin]

actully if you read the scc article, most of the parts on the z tune is from thier racecars. The motor is almost the same as the nurburging 24hr endurance race gtr, the crank is gt500 spec, the rods are gt500 spec too. turbos are gt500 spec. brakes are brembos. If the motor can handle a 24hr endurance race, ithink it might just be a little better than somethng your average joe with 170k could build

i just ordered my ztune!! if you guys wanna check it out heres the link.. you can get one to!!! http://www.modelcarsdirect.co....e+r34

Thanks dude

I'm a little disappointed though, to be honest. I mean, it's still a crazy car, but I was hoping for the exact same widebody configuration of the GT500 car, which this thing definitely does not have. I also see lugnuts.....so there go my fancy schamncy centerlock wheels. It basically looks like an NSX-R with some aero crap bolted on....definitely not worth $500k.

[PantherRacer]

an RB26 powered 180sx or Silvia can do a 3 sec 0-60....but are they as much pure sex as a z-tune skyline ???? no
