This is THE Fastest Production Car

I'm not sure which magazine i was reading but in the front its a Sky Line r34 GTRz-Tuned. The headline goes something like "The Fastest Production Car Ever" or something along those lines. Anyways, they only built 20 of them, all in Special Grey with Black Nismo rims, tuned it to run 10.02 in the 1/4 mile...Sorry. I was skimming through everything in the magazine. I think they compared it to a McLaren and whatnot....

As soon as I got home I tried doing some quick research: http://www.nismo.co.jp/Z-tune/index.html

I'm sure theres other sites (like the magazine that presented it) that have a bit more info too. Its for sale right now actually for.... $170,000.

I'm sure they are all sold by now.

All the original 20 Z Tunes have been sold, but you can buy all the Z Tune parts from Nismo dealers to in essence build your own. I'm not sure if you can buy the race spec N1 engine, but stuff like the Weldina exhaust, LM GT4 wheels, G-Attack struts/shocks, etc. BTW this is my first post on the new forums and this upgraded version is sweeeeet. Looks 100x better.

 

[ReI86]

All of them are sold and I wouldn't put that as the fastest.

The Saleen S7TT hasnt been tested yet and the car is said to run 9s in the 1/4mile if that is hte only thing you care nor has the Veyron etc etc etc.

Big balla cars yes, but since we're just talking about production cars they'll be the fastest

 

[CyrusX7]

that car is so hot.. do yall think they will make more batches of them in the future?

Scroll down a little and it has some pretty nice pictures.

Nismo is offering a very exclusive version of the R34 GTR. Called the Z Spec GT-R, this version is the fastest accelerating road car currently made. It has run the quarter mile at 10.02, besting such ultra exotic cars such as the Saleen S7, Ferrari Enzo and McLaren F-1. It boasts over 500-wheel hp and 400 lb/ft from its highly modified engine. The motor is bored and stroked to 88x77mm for a displacement of around 2771cc. The engine features a carbon airbox with special intake and exhaust manifolds with big ball bearing IHI turbos blowing through a huge front mount intercooler. The engine is nearly the same spec as the endurance engines that Nismo has run for 24 hours at the Numburgring. The suspension features triple adjustable remote reservoir Sachs race shocks with adjustable fabricated links. Extra reinforcement is added to reduce flex.

The wide body is mostly carbon fiber panels with functional vents for heat exchangers for the transmission, differential and engine oil. The body also has functional aerodynamics with carbon splitters and venturi tunnels. The body is seam welded and has its shock towers, transmission tunnel and aprons reinforced with structural carbon using lessons learned from Nismo's JGTC cars. The Z spec has huge two-piece Brembo brakes as well, 365 mm discs with 6 piston calipers in the front and 355 mm rear discs with 4 piston rear calipers. The car sits on special Nismo LM GT4 forged wheels, 18x9.5" with 265/35-18 tires. The whole package sells for a cool $170,000. Only 20 will be made. This exclusive car comes with a complete warranty by Nismo. The last of the line for the R34 is an awesome machine indeed.

Yeah, I saw that Z-tuned R34 on the cover of the current Sports Car Compact. I wonder if it will stir up some feathers in the Toyota department.

I'm not sure if you can buy the race spec N1 engine

I would doubt it, and in this case it's not called the N1 I don't think. N2, I believe.

I hope it does. It's too bad TRD isn't as active as other racing division arms like Mugen, Nismo, Mopar, and Rally Art. They offer 50x more street and race parts for their street production cars than TRD does.

That's what I dislike the most. Not getting any support from your own make's racing division which in this case, TRD. I'm sure there's parts but they prob are extremely expensive and a PITA to find. Hope this is a wake up call.

Veyron is HEAVY ( mid 4000's). its 1/4's wont be as good as the S7TT. But the projected top speed of the Veyron may take the Koenigsegg's trophy away.

and the 1/4 time as you said isnt nesc the best way to measure "fastest car" I can build you plenty of cars that will run sick 1/4's but top out at speeds lower then integras. is the Z tune cool, of course... but im not sure id give it a title as grand as this though...

Anyone can build a car that runs faster then 9s

Either ways the S7TT will be one of the "quikest" production cars and the Veyron will probly (If they can find a tire manufacture that can hold up 4000+ lbs at the speed of 200+mph) be one of the fastest production car in the world.

Damn that VW Nardo would've been so much better then the Veyron tho

All I know that TRD made for the Supra is the body kit, exhuast, struts, coilovers, rims, and maybe some body bracing. Nothing major tho like HKS or something.

Thats what I dislike about TRD. They barly do jack crap for majorty of Toyota cars but put on a supercharger, rims and lower it and put a big TRD badge on the side. The BIG toyota involed in racing groupie is TTE. Its a damn shame since Toyota is the number one Japanese car manufacture and is number 3 in the USA aswell.

 

[Mr. Wob]

Too late! Michelin designed one espcially for the Veyron in mind. There is an article about it in this months Car and Driver.

Also they went more in depth abou the cars top speed. They mentioned how if speeds over 220 (I believe this is the number - sorry i dont have the article in front of me) the owner will have to turn a special key before hand that raises the wing to a horizontal position, lowers the car, and preps a few other systems in the car. Most of these high speed runs will be on Bugatti special event tracks for owners, yet they expect a very small amount of owners to actually see the cars true top speed.

Honestly, the car sounds like it will be very scary @ those speeds. too little downforce and too short a car IMO. They said the McLaren F1 was scary, and I dont want to even imagine this one....



EDIT - im retarded - I do the magazine on me. The tires are a moddified version of Michelins run flat PAX wheel tire combo in 20's and 21's for this car.

Yeah i read about that, there was a post on this awhile ago, but now its locked. HERE IS WHAT I DON'T GET AND THIS QUESTION WASN'T ANSWERED!!! HOW DOES A 3500LBS CAR WITH 500HP HIT 10SEC 1/4??!!! I highly doubt that the gear ratios are that close and if they are that close then that might mean that the Z-tunes top speed is around 120mph?

 

[kaneda]

the gear ratios aren't that close. it's the combination of a sophisticated AWD system that senses wheel spin and distributes torque accordingly within a few millionths of a second, a broad and usable power band, N1 derived turbines that lend the car a quick spool without sacrificing top end power, 6 throttles to help cram all of that air into the motor, a drivetrain that has had most of it's unecessary rotating mass trimmed, a chassis that was already quite stiff but has now been stitch and seam welded, and some damn good tires.

 

[GTR-33]

How many people are going to start a thread about the same car? Kaneda's post was more than enough...

 

[PSI-GUY]

No way in hell it runs a 10.02. Let's see 3400lbs, 500 Flywheel hp. It's may be AWD, but awd cars loose a shitload of pwer when it finally gets to the ground. Too much drivetrain loss. i won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

 

[kaneda]

NISMO said over 500 hp, they never mentioned flywheel horsepower and even so, nissan has always tended to underrate the modern skylines, even the performance versions. they claimed that the R34 GT-R had 280 BHP but when it went ceased production in 2002 it had nearly 340 BHP. i wouldn't doubt that the car has at least 500 at the wheels and i know that the N1 turbos are good for around 600 BHP. the car is a beast.

 

[Tatanko]

My bad...I said N2...I meant Z2.
