The vintage NISMO logo's alone are already worth the additional costs.

[@davidwilkinson435]

You can tell it’s something truly special when the oily work boots are nowhere near the car

[@Iunio92]

I think the 400r was more extreme relative to other vehicles of the time, so it gets my vote.

[@tomfum]

I really miss my white R33 you guys imported for me. Torque GT are the best with the best cars. I saw this 400R at Japfest once, its BEAUTIFUL in person. Keep up the good work guys and girls

[@575ban]

90's Japanese performance cars. The pinical of the working man's automotive dreams. I love them all but I spyed a Honda NSX in the background. A Honda NSX Type R would buy my sole.

[@Rumble_box]

That is a NSX R 👌

Me too. Nsx take my heart

Reinik is NOT a German Motorsport company but a subsidiary of Nissan covering work for Nissan’s overseas Motorsport activities.

[@TheFactoryJackson]

My word. This is stunning. Thanks for sharing as been waiting ages for this. Seeing it in the background in many videos so great to see it in full.

[@danbarruffo7743]

Glad you liked it mate.

Excellent vid my man 👌

Great video 👍

If cars were meseured on a scale of 1 to 10 this best would make it to 11. Amazing car😎

[@creamcake7392]

My favourite skyline.. beautiful car 👌

[@jackglover3785]

Tommyfyeah is probably buying that kit

[@mrtizer6672]

Remember seeing a genuine 400r at ten of the best a few years ago just in awe being in its presence knowing I'll never see another

[@hunterphille1280]

This would be awesome to own. The first time I ever heard of this car was when I won one on Gran Turismo.

[@stephenmoore5775]

Awesome car sub 4s in the 90s crazy , but still waiting for more scobby resto vids 😀👌

[@danbarruffo7743]

There are more coming! Summer holidays have delayed work as everyone has been away at different times...

[@xr8rick]

I’ve loved this car since i first saw it on Gran Turismo, years ago.

[@tarekantonioalkhaledi2118]

just imagine if Nismo come up with a (Twin Charged) Skyline! 😍😍😍😍

[@sibunit38]

GranTurismo vibes 😎

absolute icon

The dream would be to have both

That '13 was kinda stealing the ahow for me not gonna lie 👀😍

10:00 I was so deep in the story when he was explaining but when I saw him socks I couldn't help myself🤣🤣

[@bryanflo4500]

I know when the project P1 resto is done, the final result and its documentation will be amazing... 🏎💨✨

[@eurotom288]

I was lucky enough to buy a Genuine 400 R front bumper and side skirts a few years ago from my good friend Miguel from Newera Imports for my R33 GTR, actually all my parts are from Newera , I wouldn’t go anywhere else for Genuine Japanese parts, he,s a great guy, Drive safe.

[@cheesepizza87]

Are you going to do a driving video of this by any chance ? You answered this as I left the comment, surely trailer it to a track if not, it brakes my heart to hear it won’t drive That engine at high rpm 🤘🏽

[@danbarruffo7743]

This car has now been sold..

I remember when these first came out, Litchfield had them advertised at the back of EVO magazines for £100k. 🙂

[@simonk337]

Perfection 😍 but wish you had started it 😔

[@MrFrankDuke]

Jethro Bovingdon drove one for the EVO channel a few years back.

Not as desirable as the R34 Z-Tune but damn close and it’s so clean too!!

Yes, yes it is.

What # is this... to check it out on the gtr site

WOW!!!

Isn’t one of these for sale at over £1m ??! Crazy

[@MrDazsti]

WHATS HAPPENING WITH THE P1 ??????????

[@mmrahman82]

What I really want to know more than anything and the reason why I clicked this video in the first place. Is the 400R better than a Z-Tune?

[@madmike5144]

yeah me too...To me that this was click pait

[@greyguy.960]

Yes, it is for numbers made. He Told you everything was better and it was the rarest in the said video. Plus the parts Plus they do go for 2 .2 plus so if call that very desirable and above the z tune cars by some 300k

[@nickmartin4980]

I've found an original Nismo 400R for sale at Harlow Jap Autos going for...... hope you're sitting down..... £1.6 million!!! They also the rarest 400R ever the 400R LM, one of one, I dread to think how much that is. Love the channel and look forward to more videos of the Impreza P1 restoration

[@joshc1630]

I wish my pockets was deep enough for both the 400r at Harlow jap imports and that immaculate Evo 5 Rs

[@nathancast]

Wheres project P1??

[@chrisg4rr377]

Is that light blue car infront of the scooby a Venturi???

[@chrisg4rr377]

Edit... I thought it was a Venturi 400 gt. After searching it looks nothing like it

[@Davewagon]

@@chrisg4rr377 it’s a Nissan Silvia S13, with what looks like a wide body kit. I quite like it actually ❤

[@chrisg4rr377]

@@Davewagon it looks lush. After searching through the list of cars on gran Tourismo i thought it might have been a ST185 Celica. But a pal thinks is a nissan too. I hope they do a vid on it

[@JordanTaylorVlogs]

lets get a p1 update

[@FukU2222]

any1 here after hearing about the recent 'auction-breaker' that (allegedly) went for over ~$1mil USD (150m yen)?

[@miguelfreitas1991]

this is my dream car not the fanboy R34

[@moteurduMans]

Could it be cheaper to buy an r33 gtr and upraged it to an 400r with the body kit and other parts than to buy an original 400r?

[@motoborn4642]

Probably

[@lndnfsu2]

if you can buy the parts.... Nismo only sell parts for verified crashed cars

[@dadondada3275]

An original 400r Hood/bonnet is pretty much impossible to buy. A KZbinr/Skyline restorer recently bought one for $30k.

[@charliegrace7459]

100%, if you could find all the parts.

[@charliegrace7459]

@@lndnfsu2 yeah but there's no rule that prohibits people that have those parts from selling them on ;)

[@samuelgarrod8327]

I'd have the 400R. Nismo sell ALL the Z-tune parts for upgrading an R34.

[@JohnDoe-me1uq]

I have had 1 r32 and 2 R34 but the 400R is my lottery or crypto win 🤔

[@syygnis]

Yes. Any 33 > 34 change my mind

[@Nikko40691]

Where are your shoes!? 🤣

[@eurotom288]

Sorry for saying this but I think your wrong about the engine, the 400 r wasn’t fully forged, it only had forged pistons, the Crank and Con Rods were not forged, if I’m wrong I apologise, but I’m pretty sure I’m right, Drive safe.

[@MPowerSubie12]

Who owns these cars and what’s the dollar $ estimate on this one taking into consideration what has happened in the car market in the last two years? Noticed you left that detail out 🙄😏

[@simonk337]

One sold earlier this year for 2.2million dollars

all i have to say is the 35 is ugly lol this older ones are better and classic no auto all stick

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars, trucks and busses including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime!!!!

[@valtzuuu]

Normal r33 GTR vspec looks better than 400R
