Sorry don't have fast to check it, but when it comes back the model number needs to have a "ZN" in it.

Mine is

KBNR32RXFSZN

Some other quick checks

N1's don't have ABS

No boot carpets

Plastice bonnet lip, and rear boot lid lip (under the standard spoiler

Of course all these can be added/removed, so VIN number is best.

N1's were released on the 19th of July 1991

Have you got Brembo Brakes?

Do you have the rear wiper swtich?

What colour is your car? R32 GTR N1's only came out in a thin layer of Crystle White - Nissan Paint Code = 326

N1's are identified by having 24U stamped / embossed on the Block as opposed to 05U.

Brembo's - 91/92 N1's came with standard calipers - As far as i know

24U v 05U - I'm yet to see any conclussive evidence that ALL N1's have 24U. I was actually told that the earlier models were stamped just the same as standard GTR's. Mine for example is 05U. I've had the car inspected by numerous mechanics and not 1 of them said that there is any evidence that the engine has been swapped(inspecting mounts etc). It's also a very low k's car with log books and service record.

Not that that's 100% conclusive.

There's a guy in the UK which is currently writing a "mini" book on N1's which I'm helping sort of with. He's got a few contacts and is sending me a copy as soon as it's done.

Correct - it's not an N1. FAST is all you need to verify that one.

hey guys thanks heaps for all your trouble, i thought the chassis number would tell me , but it doesnt have a rear wiper switch it does have the front lip on bonnet and under rear spoiler so not sure what that means

(maybe vspec2 ?) the car is heavily modified so brakes are changed etc. nobody said to me it was an N1 i bought it off the street in tokyo as is , i just noticed it had no rear wiper and it was arctic white so thought i might have

hit the jackpot ....... no matter was thinking of selling it so if it was N1 i would have put it in the advert

thanks again guys

Here's a VIN to check out:

BNR32-219551

BTW - the guy in the UK writing a mini book about N1's: does anyone know of anyone keeping a list of where the R32 N1's ended up? Would also like to get intouch with this fellow...

That appears to be an N1, that chassis, but I always find R32 model codes hard to decipher on FAST.

A mate an I are in the process of gathering data on all N1s to make an online register (and other rare Skylines for that matter). When I get time to scratch myself, I might devote a bit more time to it!

On that subject, please include an area to perhaps list current fakes for sale, would be a helpful source for those looking as another means to reference check

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
