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. /Rezz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29219-japans-supercar-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. /Rezz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29219-japans-supercar-thread/#findComment-616387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwells Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Rezz -- can you dig up some details on the Kpgc110? Not really a supercar, but the best looking of the older Skyline -- looks like a Pontiac GTO from the front, and a Mustang fastback from the rear. Mmmm. "Yankee Style" LW.

Iron Chef Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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!!
