Hey Rezz do you know any engine specs?

I know that practically every part available in HKS's 1991 engine parts list was used for the Zero R, what those parts actually were however, I don't know.

The whole "Zero R" idea came about because HKS wanted to compete in the '91 Tokyo Auto Salon "Complete Car Grand Prix"... a contest to see who can build the best car based on a stock-from-factory vehicle. Aparently the car was fully engineered to a 270km/h standard (read: safe), and was built for high speed cruising performance, durability, all wrapped up in a well behaved "mature" package. The development budget for the Zero R from idea to complete car was 100,000,000 yen.

so how much are these cars for sale now. the one that is going ?

Dude, it's not like we can just click-click-click and find one for sale... you know? I'm sure the owner of the one that is getting about would want at least half of what he paid for it.

Some more pics i found laying around its all i could do..

Some pics arnt of best quality but its hard to find anything decent.

Well done mate...:D

Thats about all the info thats lying around on this car I think... theres precious little left to post about. I hope SAU members can kinda get the picture on how the Japanese mentality works through a thread like this, ie: The Zero R is gone, so why all the interest? (don't take that the wrong way, from a Jap point of view, thats what they think about Aussies getting interested in old(er)skool 'lines) It's an awesome car obviously, but even with the much bigger population in Japan compared to Australia or even the UK, theres about as many people interested in the Zero R in Japan as there are in Australia... read: bugger all.

Sorry guys, it sounds like a negative post, but I just got slightly dissed by my mate Kazuya because he couldn't understand why I was interested in a relic from '91... the R34/V35 is where it's at now!!!

yeh i asked a friend about this car aswell in japan he said its not a big deal.. but the only reason i would love to own this car is because its rare. once a car is rare its worth plenty. .. its like the old gtho phase 3 but with the models being made so little .

the thing is there isnt much know or interest about this car or similar examples in general...but people in japan dont bother with old technology and achivements they always looks for the newest and best thing thats why they are ahead in technology i would assume. Also if it was such a great car then thier would be more info about it...

this car is rare but so are drag cars that run 7sec down the 1/4 mile flat...power ratings of turbos have gone up if hks were to make another car like that in a r34 format it would be probably twice as powerfully. Everything has its prime year...and it had passed :D

In the simpsons there was a electronic toliet, do they have them in japan?

If you mean electronic as in: heated seat, remote control (like... a DVD remote!) bidet, air drying, flush, motorized seat open/close and am/fm radio contrlos... then, yes.

:D

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
