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.

**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!!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
