FOR THE COLLECTORS OUT THERE HERE IS A LIMITED EDITION 400R (NAMED FOR THE OVERBORED 2.8L RB26DETT ENGINE DEVELOPING 400HP / 300Kw, THE R STANDS FOR RACING). NISMO HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO PRODUCE 100 UNITS OF THE 400R, BUT ONLY 44 WERE EVER MADE. ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, THE 400R HAS POLISHED PORTS, COMPOSITE PARTS, TWIN PLATE CLUTCH, AND A MORE FREE-FLOWING TURBO AND INTERCOOLER SYSTEM. ALSO NISMO BRAKE PADS AND AERODYNAMIC UPDATES SUCH AS WIDER FENDERS, SIDESKIRTS, NEW REAR BUMPER AND NEW FRONT BUMPER WITH LARGER AIR SCOOPS, A REDESIGNED BONNET AND REAR SPOILER MADE OF CARBON FIBRE, AND A STRONGER 6 SPEED GETRAG GEARBOX WERE ADDED. THE 400R WAS ALSO FITTED WITH 18 X 10 NISMO LM-GT1 ALLOY WHEELS. TOP SPEED IS CLAIMED TO BE OVER 300 KM/H AND 0-60MPH IN 4 SECONDS. THIS IS DESTINED TO ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST COLLECTIBLE SKYLINES EVER MADE AND PROBABLY A BETTER INVESTMENT THAN MOST OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. FOR AUCTION EARLY ON FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST 2009

Mother of God!

If my missus caught me trying to add this to the ADM GTR she would surely kill me.

Might just be worth it.

We think the same but different.

My first thought was, would it really be that hard to re-marry! :-)

I got a woody just thinking about how awesome that thing would look in my garage!!

Imagine the woody you would have driving that with the new girl next to you!

I hope Prestige send around another email letting us know how much it went for. I really want to know, $68K was just the starting bid...

They never disclose the auction selling price, but I can.

Just checked and results are not up yet. I can post it up when it's out.

It was bought under negotiation privately after it passed in, so final sale price isn't available. I was making calls all week to try and find buyers at around the $100K mark landed. My guesstimate is it made at least 6 mil at auction.

Quote from their site.

The following vehicle was auctioned in Japan on Friday 28th August 2009. The passed in price was worth more than $102,000 complied, plus tyres and ORC's. It is hard to imagine what it might sell for when it comes up again but probably not too much more than that.

I know Prestige can't control auction prices, but their original quote of 68k to what it is now at 102k is a bit ludicrous..

Not really, the starting price give very little indication of what a lot will sell for. When you take into account something this rare the start and finishing price can be worlds apart.

Yea but I guess they did mention STARTING at 68k. Its up to the viewer if they choose to do selective reading. The rare stuff do get priced up a fair bit. lol

Kristian: That price is close enough to Terry's bid for your 34 N1!

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
