you can't buy one you nutter...

they were built in 1994, 2 were sold, the others are left outside.

they won't run, the body is dead....

they were sold or trying to sell for like double the prie of a standard gtr at the time.

the ones left outside, the engine would have rusted like hell...

they wouldn't even be good for parts as they've been left in the japan weather for 10 years with only a car cover on them.

Ok, I managed to scan the HPi article about the Zero R's

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...hpiarticle1.jpg

here you go

About importing them, the chances of finding one is VERY small..not to mention all the things that need to be done to make it roadworthy. The fuel tank is in-cabin, there is an aftermarket ECU (could be counted as OEM since the car's "manufactured" by HKS? is this the case?) etc

I like how at the end of the HPi article they say "hopefully they'll make a comeback at the 2004 Tokyo Auto Salon"... well there was one at the 2004 Nismo Festival!

hey rezz what is +81 area code in real numbers and will any one speek english there any way not being a pesimist just very intrested. There seems to be mixed emotions about this issue what would stop any one straping on a make shift fuel tank and plug in a stock ecu to get it complied. Good point about all the mods being done in house though. I will chase it up at work free phone calls he he and let every one know

+81 is the International country code for Japan...

I wouldn't just ring up and say "G'day, is this HKS? Yeah, oi'd loike to make an offah on ya Zee-row Aah youz got parked out back moite yeah"... they'd just think "wtf" and hang up on you.

First of all you should say:

"Moshi moshi?" (sounds like "More-shi more-shi" but say it quickly with no pause)

Then:

"Eigo ga dekimasuka?" (ey-goh gah de-ki-mahss-ka - it means "Can you speaka de English??!! :rant:)

This is no joke. Please say this first before clearly announcing you're intentions in clear Queens English... none of this Aussie crap ok? It's bigass International business transaction time!

what a waste I cant believe that they would such a great engineering feat just sitting there in the back or the shop gathering moss and rust like that :rant: they are brand new cars essentially its amazing that this can happen in australia the manufacturer probably would have bent over dropped his pants and said to the first interested party go for your life ill take what youre offering just to clear them and cut their losses. Japanese car museums should snap them up and put them on display for all to see :rant:

there was a zero R that was goin for sale at a dealership about a month ago. Ended up going to a businessman in Okinawa from memory. I'll see if I can find out how much he paid for it and some pics.

sad day i just found out that hks definatley wont export thier cars the rep said that he would rather see the sale go to red park than an import nut he also said that the sale will have to go to a japanese national as the other three have so if there was any intrest in raceing them they could race them as a class. It sounded like a big feed of arse to me i would be very intrested if we have any japanese members in japan to see how much one will go for

    • 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!
