Nope, unfortunately not.

Was considering grabbing one from Nissan, but the AUD price before shipping was ridiculous. Somehwere around the $2.5k to $3k.

The hardest thing with these cars is that there's very limited "official" nissan info out there, in either Japanese or English. But if you dig hard enough you get some truth. For example i know have official Nissan docs which state the details of how the car left the factory eg there was no ABS.

WTF!

That is a lot for an oil cooler!

You could get 1 from Nengun, a Greddy Oil Cooler from $800 to $1000 (Approx) new that is.

Yeah I remember the N1's not having the ABS to save weight :)

Good you have the info and would be interesting to read up on it :P Wouldn't mind having a read myself...

Back to the N1, I took a look at my Turbo Chart and I believed the R32 GTR N1's came with "Nismo Turbo's" not N1 Turbo's like the R33 and R34 GTR did.

32Nismo (14411-06U00)

33N1 (14411-24U10)

34N1 (14411-AA401)

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG , nissan made 3 types of rb26 engines ,,, there was the O5U (standard) ,,, 24U (nismo) ...rare... ,,, then there was the RRR (GT block)... ultra rare ...

/snip/

There were not many replacment engines made less than 10% of production figures.

There are nismo R32 GTR's in australia i should know because i have one, and i know there are at least 5 otheres ...

A family friend of mine worked on the nissan skylines while they were racing in australia at ( BATHURST) they used standard GTR's as the NISMO or N1 were plan out write to expensive. there were 6 standard R32 GTR's orderd by gibbson motorsport. i know what parts and setups they used if interested send a message to my inbox. PLEASE PEOPLE DONT REPLY TO A POST IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMETHING AS PEOPLE DONT LIKE KNOW IT ALL'S.........

no need to be wrong as well as rude.

Umm, i think you'll find that the 24U is an N1 engine not a "NISMO" engine.

maybe you should chill a bit before telling people to get their facts right?

Bobby's on the money. Nismo GTRs ran a standard motor (05U) and certainly not a "nismo" motor. In fact other than the big turbos and being in "limited edition" gunmetal grey they were pretty much standard.

But I will sort of agree with you on the Gibson Grp A cars. I don't know, but I would be willing to bet they were built off bare shells from japan. Certainly they did not run N1 (24U) blocks because they weren't produced until after group A was dead (92). Because I don't know for sure I won't say you are wrong about them buying 6 complete cars from japan.....but I would be very surprised if they bought anything but body shells and parts - there are very fe factory parts in the gibson cars.

You can be sure they they didn't avoid "nismo" or "n1" cars because of cost. Cost was no object to winning for nissan in the late 80s, early 90s.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
