Hey guys,

Was speaking to a mate who believes that he's seen pics of a genuine 400R in Australia from years ago. This morning he brought in an old fast fours mag from i think the year 2000, and there's a small piece in it about a track day, where it says that there was a genuine 400R in attendance.

Does anyone know if there is actually one in the country?

Cheers

Bobby

How do you tell if it is a 400R?

My GTR has a factory complete 400R body kit, stuffed if I know what else is in it it also says it's a VSPEC!

Does anyone know what a 400R has so I can compare if mine is one or not?

If it was odds on it was from Powerplay Imports, they have the Z Tune and all the other rare Nismo beasts floating about

+1

There were only about 44 Nismo 400R's made and Powerplay Imports seem to be able to get their hands on some pretty rare cars, including a R34 GTR Z-Tune.

The 400R was released on 3rd of November 1997, Nismo were planing to produce 100 Nismo 400R's but since Nissan ended the prodcution of the R33 GTR in 1998, Nismo were only able to make just under 50 400R's.

The red one is my GTRs body Kit exactly the same. Oh well I lucked out on the RB-X :D

I hope it has an engine like this...

And you mean the mythical 2500R that never existed.

The genuine 2500R that was stickered up and put together here is Aus :-)

Stunning car, but.......

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
