How can GT5 not have the Nismo Skyline GT-R R34 (Z-Tune)?

I though the same thing, so I bought a silver R34 GT-R, fitted black rims and a few aero parts and tuned it to about 500hp. It's not quite the same but its pretty close
 
Maybe if some of u guys read then this topic wouldnt be hard to understand. I KNOW there is a million Skylines already but I was asking why the best one of all had to be the one that is left out.

Isn't the idea of "the best" subjective? Which one is the best 911? Which one is the best Corvette? Which one is the best Mustang?

You'll get a different answer from a lot of different people each time, just be happy that you've got tons of Skylines to choose from. Unlike the fans of the other more iconic cars that also have decades of variants, but are not even close to being as well represented in the game.

But don't you see how stupid it is, you have 50 odd different models of Skylines to choose from yet many other historic models are totally ignored. Yet here you are asking for another Skyline. It might be the best one to you but surely you can be satisified with the 50 others.
 
The Z tune is a strange ommision. Why have so many Skylines but not the best one?
On the FXX posted above, i can see that being include in an update as an Enzo race mod (hopefully it'll say FXX instead of Enzo RM though).

Enzo RM would have to be called Maserati MC12. :)
 
or if we have 2 miatas that are exactly the same, we could have 2 enzos, one way better that the other!

I am not asking for another Skyline. I am asking why this one, out of the many, had to be the outcast of all.
 
z tune is too rare they have a z tuned 350 z in gt5 but it sucks
It doesn´t suck but it is no where near as good as the skyline , funny thing is that in the description of the 350Z Z-tune (gt4 might not say in gt5) it says that the only Z-tune ever is the skyline because of the price of the parts it carries are too expensive so they decided to create their own Z-tune , so actually they created a fantasy Z-tune instead of making the real deal!1

I think that most skyline fans would agree in the Z-tune being the best of all
besides people can like different 911 etc .. but the best will be the ones that has a better performance overall , you might like one of the old ones but at the end of the day it will not be the best

I don´t think it is stupid , if everybody asks for the cars they want why he can´t ? I would happily swapp most of the skylines in the ucd for a premium skyline Z-tune , and on the skyline note I also want that hks skyline with the ugly multicolor paintjob (green , red , blue black) that had a 1000hp ? that car was in gt2 , why it isn´t here?

I feel your pain mate
 
A "needs more Skylines" thread?
Ok, now I've seen it all...

You're tempting me to sticky this just to mess with people's heads.

I've bought the R-Tune, an R32 S-Tune and am waiting for the 400R. The R-Tune is actually fantastic fun. Very squirrelly and loose. Much better than I remembered the 400R being in GT4.

The Z-Tune should be a premium upgrade down the line in DLC. It's strange to have four or five different versions of the bone-stock R34 GT-R and not the Z-Tune? I'd gladly trade all the N1s and M.N.Ps in the game just for that one...

I doubt there's a definitive "best" for cars with multiple generations. Not only do I not subscribe to the viewpoint that the latest is the greatest, but different cars are better at some things than others.

For example, if you ask me which is the best M3, the answer will NOT be the current one.

I can name multiple 911s that anyone can argue to be the "best." The 911 RS, 959, 993 GT2, the 911 GT1, any of the GT3s...

Same goes for Corvettes, and Mustangs.

I agree on the latest is not the best as I would rather have a Z-tune than the latest gtr , or like in the evo for me the IX was better than the X.
My point was that it was the best from a performance viewpoint , The Z-tune can easily have the tittle of the skyline with the best performance to come out from nissan/nismo so why it isn´t on the game instead of any of the normal skylines ?
 
@arvin charles

Yea well u would be a fool to think any other Skyline is better than the Z-Tune performance wise. Find me someone (who knows much about them) who begs to differ then you're argument becomes valid.
 
The standard R35 GT-R has already beaten some of the Z-Tune's lap records quite handily, and is only a smidge slower on Tsukuba. The Z-Tune is the best factory R34, thanks to a whole lot of JGTC bits, but the R35 has just about as much power, more torque, a better gearbox and a better AWD system. Probably won't beat a Z-Tune in a drag-race, but it'll manhandle it everywhere else.

And when you talk about the new V-Specs with the better brakes...

It's true though, the Z-tune is the best R34. And the best Corvette is the ZR-1, the best Porsche? That's a little harder to call. I would say Carrera GT followed by GT3 but it doesn't matter because we don't have any porsches :(

Edit: Oh and best Mustang, GT500KR. Of course I'm only talking about current models though (well, except for the Carrera GT)
 
But if you could get one for free (real life) wouldn´t you get the Z over the R35?

Ignoring exclusivity? Yeah I would still take the Z, but I reckon a lot of people would chose the R35.

The lack of a proper manual gearbox ruins it for me

Like I said, faster doesn't always mean better.

I can see someone easily saying a Split Window Stingray Coupe being the best Corvette as opposed to the ZR-1.

I can also see someone saying an E30 M3 as opposed to the current M3. Same goes for the '73 911 2.7 RS as opposed to a 99x GT2/3. A 250 GTO or an F40 as opposed to an Enzo.

None of those would be a better performer, but it's still a valid argument since what is "best" is subjective.

I should have clarified, I was referring to better in an objective sense ie. faster, better handling, more refined.

But yeah if you look at it subjectively, everyone will have a different opinion. For example I think the F40 is the best Ferrari and the F1 is the best Mclaren, even though their modern day counterparts are faster (maybe not the Mclaren), more comfortable etc.

And yeah I would still take the Z Spec, objectively or subjectively 👍

If you take into account the exlusivity I think I´ll have that one over any other car in the world :)
