Hey,

Just finished drooling over the 400R info at supercars website and just curious as to how many where produced and if any came into OZ?

I do highly doubt that one would or could make it's way here but it is nice to think about. Anyone know how many are left in Japan, IE not crashed...

Cheers

im 100% certain 100's and thousands of people in australia could afford one and keep it safe.... what a stupid comment, no offence .....

more to the point if one ever came up for sale for an australian to buy would have been a smarter thing to say.......

some have been up for sale in the past.... if they were genuine is another thing all together.

They sold for A$149,000 new, they go for about A$100,000 now... not so expensive are they?

The point is, how often do they pop up for sale, not how many people can afford them. It's bloody expensive for an R33, but your buying yourself one hell of an exclusive ride. Having a genuine 400R would instantly propell the owner to god status in the Skyline world... in Japan and abroad.

The information I've always been given from Japanese auto industry sources reckons that only 44 of the 99-built were sold to the public back when it was released. They were both regular GT-R and custom colours. The Nissan-owned vehilces could have been sold off but I do know that Nismo owns 7, incl a yellow one with a 500hp engine.

400R Number 31 (Champion Blue paint) sold in England recently for 69,995 POUNDS. That's $166,200approx Aussie Pesos.

I really don't know what the big deal is with the 400R, or any factory "special" car like it. To keep its value, you would have to leave it unmodified. So you pay a fortune to buy it in the first place, but then have guys who have spent far less money doing up a normal GTR run circles around you with beefed up engines and tweaked suspension.

The only advantage it has is if you could somehow enter it into a factory racing event, but even then I would think the choice of races were limited in Australia.

Don't get me wrong, the 400R *is* a nice car and I would not turn it down if someone gave me one, but I wouldn't think someone is a god just because he owned one. To me it's more of an entrepreneur's car rather than an enthusiast's one.

yes for 100g u could get a 33 GTR and make it look like the 400r and to be 100 times better.

Maybe if u were a collector then you would fork out all that cash for one, otherwise no farking way

What he said.

For that kind $ imagine what you could do with a V-spec, you could customise it any way you like!!!!!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
