Sorry guys didn't know where to post this, went and had a look at this call today : check the carsales page out

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...amp;distance=25

Guy is stating that this is a Vspec and has a 2.8 L Motor in it from a Nismo 400R

Can someone please tell me what to look for on this car, Car looks very clean and neat to me and sounds great. Just unsure with the whole Motor.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Gday mate,

im currently int he market for a r33 gtr as well, i looked at that car, i think its for track use only but i might be wrong, i still think you should stay away because a car with that many mods wont be easy to an rwc for and mod plated well thts my 2 cents anyway

, there are so many other clean r33 gtrs out in melb, i wish that was the case in qld but its not, hence i looked all over australia for one, im heading down to sydney this weekend to buy mine :P , let me know if you need any more help, coz ive been lookin at GTRs for the past 3 months, i thnk i know the carsales website of by heart now lool,

cheers

The easiest way to check if thats the spec of the car is through Nissan Fast. Get the VIN number of the car and post it on the Nissan Fast thread and someone will tell you if thats a vspec or not and all other information you might want to know. Alternativelty, if you can visually inspect the car, bend down from the back and look at the differential (I think thats whats its call, ETS Pro), it should have fins on it if thats a vspec.

which one did u end up buyin from down here? private sale or from a dealer?

farkin tell me about it! ive been looking to purchase a r32 gtr and have had the cash ready for 5-6 months now. i check all over the net almost every night but it seems no ones wants to sell a good gtr, all i can find are scrappy ones. i'm even now considering buying an r33 gtr (shudders) haha :)

to be fair there are a select few good 32's out there, just not in black.

Ok Guys, i have got some new information from the guy selling the Car.

1. He has stated that the engine is out of a Nismo 400R and therefore has not got an Engine number, when i ask him why he said because it's a race engine.

2. i have the Vin number which is 6u900bcnr33009061

Can some please tell me if the REINIK motor is meant to have an engine number or not

Post the vin here... someone will reply to it. Do you know what is a 400R? Thats even rarer than N1 or LM amongst the 33 variants. I'm not saying its not possible but what are the chances that someone will remove the 400R engine from a geniune 400R 33 GTR??

"Nismo had originally planned to produce 100 units of the 400R, however only 44 units were ever made due to the closure of the production line for the R33 in 1998" - quoted from Wiki.

Maybe the owner got an engine built to the spec of the 400R. Depending on what you're after, that might be the car you're after or just another thrashed 33GTR.

I am just worried about getting a F*&KED car, Ben at Racepace did the comp test and said that every came back at 160+ and he even said that the engine is a geniune 400R motor with no more than 50,000 on the engine.

But still i am sure that these motors would of had some sort of engine number or marking. if anyone know anything about these motors, i would really appreciate all the help i can get on this

Sorry, cant help you on that 1. Since you're already in contact with Racepace, why not ask them for advise? I'm sure they'll be able to provide you with something.

I hope it was this one.. immaculate! Chris' R33 S3 GTR (KR4-GTR)

Just saw your post! damn your cool! :) haha

On a side note, didnt sell the car, she's too beautiful and there are more important things going on in my life other than getting a R34 GTR :(

how is it registered if it has no engine number ? take a photo of where the engine number should be so we can see if its been tampered with ? it looks like a very clean car, is there engine shots ?

Engine is not shot, as i have stated, Ben from Racepce said it's a very strong engine and that's an engine from an Nismo 400R

The guy selling the car said that Vic roads give a engine number to it. The Guy is telling me that it doesn't a an engine number because it's a race motor

well seeing as it has been complied it would make it a street ready car almost... shouldnt the block have RBX28 stamped on it? Isnt this why the 400R wasnt able to be complied here???

    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together
