you can't buy one you nutter...

they were built in 1994, 2 were sold, the others are left outside.

they won't run, the body is dead....

they were sold or trying to sell for like double the prie of a standard gtr at the time.

the ones left outside, the engine would have rusted like hell...

they wouldn't even be good for parts as they've been left in the japan weather for 10 years with only a car cover on them.

Ok, I managed to scan the HPi article about the Zero R's

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...hpiarticle1.jpg

here you go

About importing them, the chances of finding one is VERY small..not to mention all the things that need to be done to make it roadworthy. The fuel tank is in-cabin, there is an aftermarket ECU (could be counted as OEM since the car's "manufactured" by HKS? is this the case?) etc

I like how at the end of the HPi article they say "hopefully they'll make a comeback at the 2004 Tokyo Auto Salon"... well there was one at the 2004 Nismo Festival!

hey rezz what is +81 area code in real numbers and will any one speek english there any way not being a pesimist just very intrested. There seems to be mixed emotions about this issue what would stop any one straping on a make shift fuel tank and plug in a stock ecu to get it complied. Good point about all the mods being done in house though. I will chase it up at work free phone calls he he and let every one know

+81 is the International country code for Japan...

I wouldn't just ring up and say "G'day, is this HKS? Yeah, oi'd loike to make an offah on ya Zee-row Aah youz got parked out back moite yeah"... they'd just think "wtf" and hang up on you.

First of all you should say:

"Moshi moshi?" (sounds like "More-shi more-shi" but say it quickly with no pause)

Then:

"Eigo ga dekimasuka?" (ey-goh gah de-ki-mahss-ka - it means "Can you speaka de English??!! :rant:)

This is no joke. Please say this first before clearly announcing you're intentions in clear Queens English... none of this Aussie crap ok? It's bigass International business transaction time!

what a waste I cant believe that they would such a great engineering feat just sitting there in the back or the shop gathering moss and rust like that :rant: they are brand new cars essentially its amazing that this can happen in australia the manufacturer probably would have bent over dropped his pants and said to the first interested party go for your life ill take what youre offering just to clear them and cut their losses. Japanese car museums should snap them up and put them on display for all to see :rant:

sad day i just found out that hks definatley wont export thier cars the rep said that he would rather see the sale go to red park than an import nut he also said that the sale will have to go to a japanese national as the other three have so if there was any intrest in raceing them they could race them as a class. It sounded like a big feed of arse to me i would be very intrested if we have any japanese members in japan to see how much one will go for

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
