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:

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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
