The 400r

[blx]

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.

well i think that the price tag of 1 genuine 4oor u could have a couple of 34GTR m spec NUR's 4 so i would say yes very very unlikly any1 here would want to pay that much 4 1

but i aggree wit u not many aussies would have a chancee to purchase 1

[skiliner]

is a 400R called a 400R cause it has 400HP

[Kaido_RR]

i remember i Real 400R for sale, was from a shop, it it wasnt 2 much i think was around the 100k mark (but i could be wrong) it wasnt more than 150k

[skylinefreak_r33]

ohh well i think wrong then didnt i lol

SKILINER gee that must have taken some worken out

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.

i agree with Rezz, there a remember pictuers post by him from a Jap track day and they had alot of show cars. there was 1 400r which u could not go close 2 had like tape all around it

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.

Thanks guys i appreciate all the info...

This car has always intrigued me!

What was a R33 GTR new price?

Cheers

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!!!!!
