400R - How good are they?


Recommended Posts

In actual fact there was 99 cars made of which only 44 were made available to the public , the rarest one is Champion Blue as linked to above that was for sale for approx £60,000 .

There was one yellow one also which is the first one ever made and which NISMO still own today :wassup:

i think i get it, only cos i'm half chinese and have heard the term used before. In my very little understanding of Japanese, i believe 'gaijin' should have be used, as a 'foreigner'??

and Justin go check your 'Rezz is back' thread, pls :(, i believe i know what pose you guys were all making at the pub was, the seal that 'some' of u guys had made with your hands.

This Silvia 270R sounds interesting, never heard of it, have to go check it out...

Performance*  

0 - 60 mph [secs] 4.0  

0 - 100 mph [secs] NA  

1/4 mile [secs at mph] NA  

Top Speed [mph] 198

There is no way it does 0-100 in 4 secs and 198mph with only 400hp.

For half the price of a 400R u could build a R33 10 times better and quicker

Sure you could build a faster / better R33 for half the price, but it will never be a genuine 400R, and some people are looking for that.... Just another point of view :D

anyone that actually owns a 400r would have it in their garage covered up and would not get driven much.

Do you think many people would splash out and buy one if it was availabe?

At a hundred grand ,

you could buy two 33 GTR's in good nic and somebody's kidney on Ebay....

Sure, the GTR's wouldn't be a 400R and the kidney would taste like crap,but

100 grand.....

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
