Hey,

Just finished drooling over the 400R info at supercars website and just curious as to how many where produced and if any came into OZ?

I do highly doubt that one would or could make it's way here but it is nice to think about. Anyone know how many are left in Japan, IE not crashed...

Cheers

im 100% certain 100's and thousands of people in australia could afford one and keep it safe.... what a stupid comment, no offence .....

more to the point if one ever came up for sale for an australian to buy would have been a smarter thing to say.......

some have been up for sale in the past.... if they were genuine is another thing all together.

They sold for A$149,000 new, they go for about A$100,000 now... not so expensive are they?

The point is, how often do they pop up for sale, not how many people can afford them. It's bloody expensive for an R33, but your buying yourself one hell of an exclusive ride. Having a genuine 400R would instantly propell the owner to god status in the Skyline world... in Japan and abroad.

The information I've always been given from Japanese auto industry sources reckons that only 44 of the 99-built were sold to the public back when it was released. They were both regular GT-R and custom colours. The Nissan-owned vehilces could have been sold off but I do know that Nismo owns 7, incl a yellow one with a 500hp engine.

400R Number 31 (Champion Blue paint) sold in England recently for 69,995 POUNDS. That's $166,200approx Aussie Pesos.

I really don't know what the big deal is with the 400R, or any factory "special" car like it. To keep its value, you would have to leave it unmodified. So you pay a fortune to buy it in the first place, but then have guys who have spent far less money doing up a normal GTR run circles around you with beefed up engines and tweaked suspension.

The only advantage it has is if you could somehow enter it into a factory racing event, but even then I would think the choice of races were limited in Australia.

Don't get me wrong, the 400R *is* a nice car and I would not turn it down if someone gave me one, but I wouldn't think someone is a god just because he owned one. To me it's more of an entrepreneur's car rather than an enthusiast's one.

yes for 100g u could get a 33 GTR and make it look like the 400r and to be 100 times better.

Maybe if u were a collector then you would fork out all that cash for one, otherwise no farking way

What he said.

For that kind $ imagine what you could do with a V-spec, you could customise it any way you like!!!!!

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
