I did promise a while back that I'd be getting a 34 GT-R, and I'm still pinching myself that I've actually bought this one.

2001 R34 V Spec II N1 with 24,000km on the clock.

For the V-Spec N1, it was a well-publicised fact that only 45 were built, and that the vast majority of those went straight to the track rather than being street registered. My GT-R guru mate reckons that the number of street registered examples left is probably somewhere around 15.

Here's where it gets interesting, Nissan also built an N1 version of the V-Spec II, but it was on special order from selected dealers only, and they were built in very small runs of 5 at a time. His educated guess was that there were only 20 built, and of those, race cars outnumbered street cars by 2 or 3 to 1.

Believe it or not, of these, there are actually 2 V Spec II N1s already in Australia! Both of them are fairly heavily modified and being used for Targa Tas and similar events. In fact, one of them won Targa Tas a few years back.

And now, there is a third in Oz :rolleyes: It hopefully arrive somewhere around Christmas time, just in time for me to enjoy it through summer with no air con lol

I seriously can't believe the lack of info on the net about N1s - I'm gonna start a register so people can keep track of them all, as well as provide more info on them.

Anyway, a couple of teaser pics for you all to have a look at :D Can you guess I'm a little bit excited?? lol

looks awesome. Call me gay and paint me pink but i just couldn't deal with a R34 GTR with no AC

lol I have a daily driver with air con that works perfectly :rolleyes: I doubt that, even with air con, the N1 would be the kind of car I'd be taking out for a thrash on a 40 degree day...

I'll come to an SAU cruise, no probs, but won't be for a fair while yet.

There was the option with the V-Spec IIs of putting a stereo back into it which has happened in mine, but I think it's a single CD unit, possibly with no radio, because I know the aerial has been removed.

I thought all GTR's had the antenna in the middle of the windscreen? Or did they just not bother with the N1 ?

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
