Do you think that a ten-year-old Japanese tuned supercar should be worth more than two million ringgit? It’s a difficult number to rationalize but this R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo Z-Tune might be worth your millions because it is the first Nismo R34 GT-R of just 20 ever made.
The special edition Z-Tune celebrates the 20th anniversary of Nismo’s tuning company and the first R34 GT-R to come from the factory. However, the Z-Tune GT-Rs were built in 2005, years after the R34 model had already ceased production. Instead, Nismo purchased 20 used R34 GT-R V-spec platforms. Criteria: Each example must have less than 30,000 km on the odometer and must meet strict body and mechanical condition evaluations by Nismo before approval.
Only 12 examples of the 20 were handpicked and purchased by Nismo. The remaining examples from number 13 through 20 were donated by personal owners that wished to convert their V-Spec to Z-tune cars.
The R34 GT-R Z-Tune features extensive aero modifications including larger openings on the bumper, as well as a striking vented hood and vented front fenders.
Apart from the exterior, each Z-Tune boasts new forged and fillet-rolled camshafts, forged pistons, IHI turbocharger, new exhaust manifold, and a redesigned intake plenum. All these modifications equal to more than 493hp and 540Nm torque powered by the 2.8-litre 6-cylinder engine borrowed from Nismo’s GT500 race car.
The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo Z-Tune build #001 is currently on sale at The-Lowdown to the highest bidder and so far, they have already received offers exceeding $575,000 USD. If you convert this to Malaysian ringgit, it would cost you a whooping RM2.1 million for a second hand, err, Nissan…
