looks like a normal 34 with a few aftermarket mods, bonnet, wheels, intakes, fancy covered steering wheel.

Bonnet has been around quite a while so have the Volks wheels, i think the manufacturers are just copying what half the boys have been doing out there for a few years, and will stick and extra Ł10k on the price tag and call it there own.

They announced the release in October sometime IIRC, theres been Z-Tunes around for ages but Nismo never sold them until now.

Its NOT a new car tho, its a conversion to an existing car youd have to give them, R34s havent been available for years.

Here you go, a video of the above car at the Nürburgring (64meg)
http://www.8200rpm.com/stuffvids/Z-TuneNur.wmv

Got some proper pics of the car if anyone wants.

Mines R34 only looks fast in that video as the vid makes it seem more incredible than they are.

Can strip any skyline out, lower the final drive, mildly tune it, and itd be similar.

The ATTKD R32, now thats a REAL monster

Doesn't appear to be that different, would rather save the money and mod a nice R34 V-Spec

Some geezer had them hosted on his site, but not for long, i managed to get the ATTKD vids, but he had other amazing ones too but i didnt get them beofre theyd gone.

Its 2 of the car in its old look/spec (when it was white) which one is a lap of Fuji circuit and one is it doing 56secs round Tsukuba, the 3rd vid is one in its new spec/colour (black), an AMAZING 55sec lap vid which just looks the bollocks

There was another site a while back with some amazing vids that i didnt manage to get em all, ones with the Option Top Speed challenge on some Oval track and stuff too

These coonts dont host things for long enough! I been trying to d/l the vid of Shins car at Nürburgring (85meg one) and got to 60odd and now just tried to carry it on and it says its not hosted now

But then these vids have been hosted for about 3years now

No, thats the Mines R34. Everyone gets total hardons over that car, i think its overrated massivley, as the vid and the spec makes it SEEM far faster than it really is.

The ATTKD R32, the one im on about, is this monster-

Steve, the one you post the pix of may be faster around a racetrack, but the Mine's car looks MUCH cleaner for street use.

Having the radiator at the back is likely to create a large area of HIGH pressure under the bootlid, which is where you really want LOW pressure, so you'd need much more wing to compensate for the lift it would produce.

Unless they are putting the rad in a tunnel.....but I can't tell from the pix

Any idea what ballpark price would be for Mine's car in the video ??

If you had $200k in cash, you'd have better things to do than waste your time racing me.

But if you REALLY want to....bring it on, but I get to pick the road (it will be gravel and twisty)
