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!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
