400R - 400hp :D i think. Just throw 400R GTR in google, i'm sure quite a lot will pop up.

I think it would be very hard, maybe even impossible to find one to buy, i doubt anyone would actually want to sell one. I don't think many were made at all, and most probably something that will be held onto by those lucky enough to have one.

cheers.

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.

I would gladly give the dude who thinks he can source a 400R 10,000 yen if he can find one for sale... hehehe!

Whats up with these NZ guys thinking that 400Rs are out there...? NOPE.

Fake or not-entirely-legit examples maybe... but the real deal?

hey rezz i got something i need clarifying. someone told me that the 400r's engine was not done by nismo, but by reimax. is this true?

i know that u can buy the rb-x engine from reimax via their website (www.reimax.com), but i need to know if the original 400r engine was built by nismo or reimax.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... :D

They're quoting "1999" for the dark blue one... also that dark blue one must be the only dark blue one in existence... I'm not so sure about it. Anybody else think it's dodgy?

The "LM blue" one looks the goods, but I've seen that thing on their website for a long time now (must something like 6 months), but I made that remark above referring to how scarce they are now. You just can't go out and find them at an auction.

none of the cars sold by Shin at Prospec are dodgy.He is probably about the best in the business at importing cars.Particularly as he uses Zele International and also his close links with Nissan.Plus he's a great guy too.Most down to earth.

I wouldnt say that he is the cheapest around,in fact far from it,but he only imports the best.Rated amongst the top importers alongside the likes of Newera Imports.Miguel at Newera is also a master at getting the best!

Just my 2p's worth

Both cars would definately be the real deal as blitzen has said Shin Inoue is the best will not touch anything less then immaculate and is the man to get very rare GTR's and parts but you do pay for his services ,he used to be the chairman from japans GTR owners club and drives a very nice black R34 v-specII NUR with a heap of mines gear.

What about a Nismo R34 Z-Tune GTR with 600ps from the factory would have to be a more exclusive ride then a 400R wouldn't it?

  • 6 months later...
how rare are these cars to purchase? and what price bracket wou;ld you be looking at? and does anyone have some links to specs on them?

Spotted one that sold at aucion in England for the equivalent of $168,000 AUD... Heeeooooge amount of dollars,but it IS super exclusive.Think I'd rather have a R34 V Spec,an R32 AND a trackday special R32 for the same money...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
