The interior looks pretty standard R33 GT-R with the addition of Nismo branded bits. I think the shift knob and parking brake handle are different.
The seat looks pretty standard R33 GT-R but with some colored stitching and Nismo branding.
The steering wheel is Nismo and 400R branded and looks pretty cool. No airbag here!
I am not sure what this 400R badging indicates.
Nissan genuine floormats are a nice touch to the car.

What is a huge sum? I’m thinking a collector die-hard would pay 1.5 million USD. Just a random guess lol
Not that high but not too far.
HA! Thanks for sharing these articles as always.
The stroker engine should have been supplied by Reimax in partnership with Nismo

The boost solenoid and intake manifold look to be put in after the fact.
The boost control solenoid appeared to be stock. I think the N1 manifold was probably after the fact.
Ahh, just noticed its an Apexi solenoid. So maybe a PowerFC to keep the intake manifold combi happy or a AVC-R boost contoller.
Hmm, looks like it has a R35 AFM conversion as well.
All the aftermarket parts were removed now so its in full stock condition.
I can attest to how good a job Top Rank’s paperwork is: Cappuccino has now been registered in two different states with zero issues. So glad I bought my car from them. And I didn’t even get a MotoIQ discount so that’s not a sponsored endorsement, I’m just a happy customer!
I can also attest to how expensive JDM classics are getting. My Cappuccino is worth about $4K more than what I paid for it in 2018. Good Cappuccinos are now worth what AZ-1s were when I was Kei car shopping.
It also amazes me how great a job Nissan can do when they really try: The 400R is an amazing car. A shame that more often than not Nissan has a “that’ll do” attitude about the cars they make.
The Nismo collector- what some people call a plenum is aftermarket. These didn’t come out till much later. They help to balance the airflow to #6 cylinder. Its interesting inside, 1-5 are all bellmouthed, #6 isn’t. https://www.gtrusablog.com/2013/02/nismo-plenum-for-rb26dett.html This 400R had some aftermarket mods on it, but we removed most all of them now. The collector is still on there, changing that on the car is a job.
