Nissan Skyline Z-Tune

[Antoine]

on a side note, i was reading that japanese carmakers have agreed to dump the 276HP agreement. honda officially broke it by releasing the 300HP acura RL. next will be the lexus rx400h with 300HP, then mazda is set to release a 300HP 2-seat rx-7. the new nsx will have 400 and the new supra will have around 400 aswell.

Really?...That's BIG news!...for those in Japan Although I think it was safe to take Japanese limited power ratings with a grain of salt...

Yet another skyline that you'll never see. You can't even bring the NiSMO car's to the states because to make them pass emissions your basically taking off every bolt on. So much for the performance. About two years ago NiSMO bought up all remaining skylines in japan. So I would think these's Z-tunes aren't actually "new" cars. They are probably worked engines put into light mileage frames. They'll probably only build about 200 of them and the only ones you'll see will be on Best Motoring DVD's..I hate life..

I live in Dubai and occasionally see skylines passing me...
I'll have to keep my eyes out for these.
It seems like the kind of car that might make it to this country.

you are right, this are used Skylines, with up to 30,000 miles, then completely re-built by Nismo. And I think the production number is 20 cars
