The remaining eight were supplied by owners for the Z-Tune modifications with each stripped and finished in \u2018Z-Tune Silver\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the visual upgrades, each R34 GT-R Z-Tune produces in excess of 493 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Helping to achieve these gains over a standard V-Spec GT-R are new camshafts, forged and fillet-rolled crankshaft, forged pistons, a large IHI turbocharger, new exhaust manifold and a redesigned intake plenum. Incredibly, a quarter mile time of 10.06 seconds was claimed by the manufacturer at the time of the car\u2019s release; that\u2019s Bugatti Veyron speed. <\/p>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-lowdown.com\/z-tune\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lowdown<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With just 20 units of the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Z-Tune by Nismo ever produced, the Japanese sports car is not only one of the rarest produced by the marque but is also highly regarded worldwide.
