i thought these cars were being pulled apart for parts??

[25GTT]

Does anyone have a bit of a write up on this car?

Rezz - I saw it in ya photos, looks nice but i am not familiar with it..... I'm sure it's good but a few ppl like myself would love any info you may have on it :-)

How much do ya recon they go for?

[TTT]

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

[Rezz]

+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??!! )

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 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

japanese 101 arigato gasimasta rezz

[boj01]

When I first read the article in that issue ages ago, I couldn't believe it as well!

[Rezz]

Seriously, I reckon they might let one go for A$100,000.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

mmmm....the things i could do with 100k:D

[xr8eater]

100k is a bit up there i just got my R34 GTR not long ago there isnt much change left over for a broken car but i will still call and find out what is going on with them just need to make some time

[funkymonkey]

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.

[xr8eater]

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

[DAN00H]

What a shame, I was watching with interest to see if we would get one of these unique cars in OZ...

Good luck with it.

[Mr GTS4]

thats very selfish!!! keeping them for japan only.

does anyone have anyone pics of these cars? maybe a engine bay one?

[GTRSRULE!!!]

damn. hey im a japanese national. can i bring a couple over here?
