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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
