Japans Supercar Thread...


Recommended Posts

Periodically, I`ll be posting up what I know about all the famous, and not so famous modified cars to come out of Japan. If anybody has a car that they want to post about, please include at least one photo and some kind of spec sheet or info about the mechanical spec... lets keep the speculation to a minimum! :D

_____________________

Nissan released only 99 400Rs in Feburary 1996. The V-spec version of the R33 GT-R was used as a base for the 400R, to produce a road-going version of the LM and GT racecars of the day. Most parts have been upgraded, but it`s probably more interesting to look at what hasn`t been upgraded, namely the Brake calipers/disks, the gearbox and the Camshafts/valves. The standard 5MT gearbox is suited well enough to the increased horsepower, as are the Brembo brakes, which only neccessitated a brake pad upgrade. The primary goal of the RB-X GT2 engine design was the increased torque whih came about with the 2.8L capacity increase. 47.8kg/m@4400rpm neccessitates the Twin-plate heavy duty chro-moly clutch upgrade, aswell as the Carbon driveshaft. All these additions serve not to break away from the base GT-R design, but to enhance the base GT-R V-Spec model one rank up in the GT Street class. The retail price of the Nismo 400R in 1996 was 12,000,000 yen.

reckon you could find some info on these cars:

Toyota TF103 F1 car

Nissan Skyline 2000RS and the oldschool KPGC10 track cars? Feel free to delete this post once you've read it Rezz

yeh rezz my dad has a kgc10 gtx with this nuts l28 under it.

could you get some real nice pics of em and info of the s20 engine.

also i think one on the gtsR or the autech r31.

if you need pics of the auctech 31 i have some pm me ok bye

hey rezz....i cant find any info on the r33 280MR Gts-t that i see on GT2...does it really exist or is it just a Playstation bug...LOL

Oh yeah... it`s a real car alright. What a beauty :headspin:

*I'll re-post details of this car on the weekend sometime...

**The silver car above has has a complete R34 GT-R Brake upgrade, plus an East Bear Complete GT-R Intercooler Kit installed.

Nissan Prince Kanagawa produced only 7 (!!!) of these cars towards the end of '98 through to '99. Based on a standard ECR33 GTS25t Type M, Nissan Prince Kanagawa in asscociation with REINIK (Race and rally Engineering division Incorporated NIssan-Kohi) put together what is basically an RB25DET version of the Nismo 400R engine, minus the N1 Turbos labelled the RB-X. A full REIMAX 2.8L kit was used, giving what has been described as "wonderfully thick torque, that rises from 1600rpm like a demon...". Other areas of the car were also upgraded (ie: suspension, clutch, and ECU) although, like the 400R, it's interestting to note what wasn't upgraded, namely the transmission and the brake calipers/disks. A maximum 300hp on tap with plentiful torque made this car a pleasure to drive, and the 2.8L capacity (hence the "280" designation) is still available through REIMAX in kit form. The original selling price was 3,980,000 yen.

Sorry to bump up this incredibly old thread, but I just noticed a 280MR (No.2) went through auction today. Starting price was 700,000yen, but I don't know if it sold. Built Feb 98, 80,000km on it

I'd never heard of them before!!

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
