spotted trust6 hammering it down main north rd, turned off of research rd :D about 5.30 yesterday.

WTF!? Dean there must be two of 'em!!! Mine was safely tucked away in the garage at that time, well I sure hope it was!? I didn't even get home in the Sigma till 7pm. No one else (and I mean NO ONE!) has a spare key.

Besides I wouldn't hammer it on Main North, I'm a good boy :thumbsup:

i saw a R33 gtst in melton redish with gold wheel that blew away GTR 34 and GTR 33 kleend both of them up the car looks stock as a rock sounds smooth not nosiy at all not a lump in it he poped his bonnet and it look stock as a rock then he turn around and said the hole guts of his motor was built by nismo and has about 380 rwkw at no sweet i cant belive my eyes on this car it well shock the lot of u keep an eye out for it it as interstate plates on in but it lives in the melton some where

hehe hot blonde? was prolly one of Miss*33's friends!!!

Well it definitely wasn't my car cos I wouldn't go near town on a Friday night unless I could help it. Plus my car is a Series I!

I do have a blonde friend who has a white 33 though, AVS wheels, GTR front bar - could have been her... but hers is a Series I too... :confused:

not at all, just have some trouble believing it when it looks "stock as a rock"

I would love to see it done. I do find it hard to imagine how you can get a stock looking turbo to make that sort of power - then there is the stock manifold - big restriction, stock plenum would be pretty restrictive too, not to mention the stock TB.

then there is 'sounds smooth, not noisey' well I found the nismo 3" exhaust, which wasnt that quiet at full song, became quite a restriction at anywhere above 285rwkw, so I would love to know what he is running. If I can make power with a quiet exhaust I am all for it - less attention.

I seriously would love to see this car.

the 400r is an rb26 and was supposedly 400bhp - who knows, not too many people actually own them:). Nismo do make crate engines AFAIK, but you still need all the support systems to make it work. The performance is only ever as good as the weakest link, whatever it may be.

don't think nismo's engine will be such hardcore, they are all about 'balance' but not high power.

even a 400R will find very hard to acheive 385rwkw if he don't mod it.

400R is only using nismo N1 engine with full fogre internal (piston, rod, crank shaft) and 2 x N1 turbo, which u can buy from nismo today as well, the only think special is carbon fibre drive shaft and it was totally built by nismo with limited number.

Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the 400R a hybrid type of motor with a 2.8ltr Mill in theory a RB28?

and the chance of someone owning a 400R here in australia would be unlikly......

It would be like the most known thing in SA/Australia/Import Community those car's r as rare as tits on a bull

something like only 100 made and i also read things like u cannot even buy a gunuine 400R

with out actually owning a car, jsut showing how serious the exclusivity of the car is and

how seriously NISMO take it.

BUT yes if is a 400R by some slim chance then show me to it wid camera in hand :)

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
