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

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
