Watching Someone Detail A Nissan R34 GT-R Will Be The Most Satisfying Thing You Do All Day
Watching Someone Detail A Nissan R34 GT-R Will Be The Most Satisfying Thing You Do All Day-December 2024

Detailing videos are satisfying in and of themselves, but there’s just something special about watching a Nissan R34 GT-R lovingly primped and preened by people who know just how special this beast of a car is. It is, truly, next level.

While the Nissan R34 GT-R is legendary in and of itself, the star of this video is even more special. This is one of eighteen cars to have received the NISMO Z-Tunes upgrade. Here’s more from about just what that entails:

The NISMO R34 GT-R Z-tune, a complete car, created based on an approved car that was carefully selected by NISMO. A vehicle with a mileage of less than 30,000 km that meets all the requirements, including those for body condition, has the parts that will be modified removed, the body reinforced, and other work performed before it is painted and reassembled.

All of the work, from engine production to vehicle assembly, is performed by expert mechanics using the same handmade craftsmanship to race cars to achieve a level of accuracy and specifications that is unachievable in mass-produced vehicles.

What made these bad boys really special, though, was the RB28DETT that produced 500 horsepower and had an 8,000 rpm redline. Add new IHI turbochargers, larger Brembo brakes, vented bodywork, and Sachs dampers, and you’ve got a machine that everyone will be drooling over.

Seventeen of the eighteen Z-Tuned cars were painted in what was called Z-Tune Silver, with a single one being painted Midnight Purple III—subsequently making that shade the rarest and most drooled-over of the bunch.

While you might notice the car in the video is Midnight Purple III, it’s not the original. During its restoration, the GT-R was repainted purple instead of the silver it came with. Still, though—being one of two is still pretty damn rad.

Soothe your brain today, folks. It’s Monday. We need this.

The Volvo 850 T-5R Is Still Underappreciated
The Volvo 850 T-5R Is Still Underappreciated
It is usually called Cream Yellow, or sometimes Gul Yellow, but its actual name is T-5R Yellow, a pale, perfect shade for a pale, perfect car. For some reason, this car remains more liked than envied. ( Volvo recently invited me to New Jersey to drive its 850 T-5R, though,...

Blip: Hope You Like Masts And Interceptors
Today I asked my wife what car I should use for the Blip, and she suggested one of her favorite cars, the handsome, fast Jensen Interceptor. It’s a good choice! Plus, with July 4 coming up, there’s a very American core to the car, in the form of the...

These Are America's Top 10 Also-Ran Carmakers
Holy crap, America is 245! Sure, this country is hardly perfect, but it barely looks over 230, if you ask me. As long as you don’t look to carefully at roads and bridges and stuff like that, of course. I like to feature on the Fourth of July, and...
