Differences Between R32 Gtr's

[sav man]

Our R33 N1 still has the AC control unit, just no AC pump. And as Beer Baron said, you can option stuff back on, our N1 had the radio optioned back on for some reason.

Ok guys i just asked the guy for the VIN....and im not sure if this is a common thing with Dealers but this is the response i got:

"Just wondering why, thats all, no one has asked us before in 10 years of doing this.

Have no dramas in you checking it if you are keen to come and have a look at the car and go further, but for a number of reasons, as I am sure you can appreciate, we keep all information pertaining to the cars in confidence until we are further down the track with a sale. I can assure you that the car is genuine in terms of being a Nismo, as we invite any independent mechanical inspection on the car in our premises.

There is no other "history" that you could research anyway in regards to the car apart from that anyway.

Re title etc,as a dealer we guarantee clear title, so that isnt an issue.

Not being difficult but i am sure that you understand.

Let me know if you have any further questions and perhaps we can arrange a time to inspect the vehicle."

Should i just make the effort and go get it? I mean i understand privacy laws etc in regards to vehicle details. So i don't know wether that has something to do with it.

Privacy laws.

He is a car salesman & is doing his job by getting you to come to the yard & talk to him about buying the car. If you want to buy it you have to do so anyway. So just go & see & write the number down.

I've contacted a dealer in QLD re a 94 V-spec II with a whole list of questions and pretty much got the same.

Problem though is that the fact that they're not willing to answer certain questions, immediately rings alarm bells for me.

Basically i got no response to questions such as, is there any rust on the car, and are there any marks on the interior!

Don't get confused with Nismo and N1 Editions.

NISMO,

The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced in February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing.

Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce. The 'Nismo' GT-R was only available in Gunmetal Grey.

N1,

The Skyline GT-R 'N1' model, introduced on July 19, 1991, was designed for home-market N1 racing with a total of 228 units produced.

The most notable change was in the engine, which was upgraded to the R32-N1 specification.

The car was also lightened by the removal of the ABS, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper, trunk carpet, and the use of light-weight headlights.

No color options were available and all 'N1' cars were delivered with a thin layer of Crystal White paint.

I read a bit on - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_gtr

If it is a Nismo Edition, the main difference is that it has the Nismo Body kit, side skirts with the rear Spat as what sav man is trying to say. Engine, drivetrain etc its pretty much the same as a normal R32 GTR.

Do what djr81 said by getting the Build / Vin numbers when you go down and have a look at the car.

BTW the pictures you took of the car,

1. Its white (N1, maybe)

2. There is no spats on the side skirts but its got the intercooler ducts, bonnet lip spoiler and boot lip spoiler. (Nismo but not complete)

3. Its got a CD Player and Aircond (So just a normal R32 GTR)

4. No rear wiper + no rear wiper contol switch (Signs point to N1)

All speculations but it does not really all add up to make it either a NISMO or N1.

Again get the Build / Vin Numbers to be sure. Cool!

ok so can someone fast that for me and tell me what it is? I'm pretty sure by the looks of it, its NOT a nismo

[sav man]

Nismo was 1990 only, so there is no way it's a Nismo

The KBNR sequence identifies it as an N1 version.

So it is NOT a common or garden variety R32 GT-R.

I think your right, if its got ZN then its indicated as a N1.

Damn!

Black Widow might be getting a really good deal.

[Black Widow]

thanks for the help guys...so we're pretty certain its an N1??

[wrxkilla]

if thats the chassis number with a ZN definately is an N1.

If you are looking to buy a clean R32 GTR you should check this out in person, if the car itself is in good condition it would be worth buying over a normal R32GTR as it will hold value much better.

awesome find.

Guys,

Does anyone know if this statement is true?

"The N1 engine is identified by its 24U number stamped on the block, as opposed to the 05U stamp on standard RB26DETT engines".

If so, where is this number found?

Cheers

Is that a Wikipedia sorce, LOL!

I read the same thing so could right.

I would not base all the facts from that website as solid evidance.

I guess it gives an idea and ppl talk about it and could be true but be open for other opinions.

[djr81]

The engine number is on the drivers side of the block under the inlet manifold on a line with number 1 cylinder (approx).

[NISMO]

Thanks Guys
