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

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
