About the Nissan Skyline GT-R Z-Tune R34
The Z-Tune is widely considered the pinnacle of the R34 generation, created by Nismo to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Rather than new shells, Nismo purchased 18 used V-Spec donor cars with under 30,000km, stripping them to the bare chassis for reinforcement and a complete rebuild. The RB26DETT was bored out to 2.8 litres and fitted with components derived from GT500 racing cars. It features unique functional bodywork including vented front wings and a carbon fibre bonnet, finished in the exclusive Z-Tune Silver.
