It will probally be titled something like Z vs. The World...

Mine's is one of the rarest and most sought after tuners in Japan. My buddy had a R34 GT-R with a complete Mines setup, and holy cow!!!

white Z for sure.

tranceformer · 12-09-2008, 03:13 PM

Wow, those are the best Pearl White pics I've seen so far!

TacoZ · 12-09-2008, 05:37 PM

I was really debating on which color to get. I have always liked white cars. This pearl white is awesome. But to me, the graphite color to a Z is like the red on a Ferrari. It just matches the body lines so well. Now I can't decide between Platinum Graphite or Pearl White...I'm definitely going to have to check them out in person side by side come January. I can't wait!!!

SWeet video! I absolutely love how the car sounds

. Great find

Slidefox · 12-10-2008, 08:27 AM

That is crazy!!! you can her the rev-matching system working between shifts.... almost as if he is not taking his foot of the gas pedal.

RCZ · 12-10-2008, 12:37 PM

awesome find. The synchrorev match is awesome for sure. I cant wait to use that.

So it seems like it gets activated depending on what gear you want to go into when you start pushing the shifter into that gear. What happens if you choose the wrong gear? will it just not let u go into it or will it not rev or what?

Namir · 12-10-2008, 03:00 PM

Awesome video! The downshifting sounds like it would if he was heel-and-toeing but the upshifting is what sounded really different to me. It sounded like he was powershifting through all the upshifts as there was a noticeable jump in the revs during each shift.
Was he just doing no lift shifts or was that the synchro-rev transmission?

dyezak · 12-10-2008, 03:06 PM

According to the owners manual the synchro match feature only works on downshifts, not upshifts. And the downshift feature doesn't stop you from choosing a wrong gear, if you are doing 130mph and accidentally go to 1st gear you will still overrev your engine and blow it up.

Factory tires are never good...everyone knows this and they are replaced even by autocrosser's immediately, much less for track duty.

Same thing with break pads. Factory pads are made for low noise and dust, not performance pads...they get replaced immediately too.

LSD is a bit of a let down. I was hoping for a real LSD but this viscus LSD that is stock is just crap.

Except on the GT-R hehe

Brake pads will need to be replaced immediately or at least swapped every time it hits the track.

Yes on the LSD comment, I was unhappy when I heard this. This will need to go immediately.
