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.

Maybe you guys should check it now... showing A$102K and available...

If only i didn't just buy a house...

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!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
