Just being curious - what's the chances of finding a decent r34 m-spec nur? With the 34's getting down towards $40,000 now, it's really starting to seem affordable to get this fairly rare beast. What sort of price would be likely?

the M spec Nur's will demand a price premium over standard R34 GTRs, plus theyre very very rare as they were built towards the end of the R34 production.

only R34 rarer i can think of is the Z Tune version with 20 of them made

And N1?

The Nurs were approximately split 750 for V-Spec II, 250 for M Spec, so they're pretty rare and unlikely to come down in price that much if they're low kms and good condition.

Even the normal M-Specs are pretty thin on the ground, I think I estimated with someone else on here 350 or so built. It's in another thread in this section.

V Spec N1 had 45 built, with 33 of those being "road use" spec, the rest going straight to competitors for track use.

Z-Tune had 25 built, although a few more have apparently been retro-built (without the official Z-tune designation) at the Omori factory since the original run.

The rarest of all is the V-Spec II N1, of which 18 were built, and three of these actually reside in Australia.

I'm working totally off the top of my head here, so apologies if I've got my figures wrong.

i thought Z-tunes are the rarest of the bunch as well as being the ULTIMATE street GT-R

They are the ultimate, but they're not the rarest :(

It's splitting hairs a little, but technically the Z-tunes are Nismo built cars, and aren't considered GT-Rs. A bit like calling a HSV a Holden...

forgot about the N1 models lol. dont know much about them though.

im sure there were 20 Z Tunes built, but nismo kept one of them for its garage. dunno about more being built after the first run of 20 z tunes.

maybe the NSW owner can help us??? :(

How is your N1 'K'?

If it were mine, I'd have it chained to the floor at bedtime...

Or parked next to the Fat Boy in the lounge room.

Back to the term 'Classic',

a BMW M3 will not be a classic in the term 'Classic'; but an M3 CSL can be!

Both the CSL and N1 were lightened up for Racing.

So logic says haha that if you remove A/C, rear window wiper, sound system and insert forged pistons yadayada you can charge more $ hehe. But it's a whole lot more than what appears on the surface.

Summing up...

A M3 CSL to an M3 is similar to an N1 (or a Z-Tune) to a Nur IMHO

V spec II N1 specs & pics anyone????

N1 = Blueprinted Race Specification Engine.

N1 Block (N1 Block is identified by the number 24U stamped on it as opposed to 05U)

N1 Twin Turbos (Metal Ball Bearing, from factory 1.1 Bar boost = 15.9 Psi)

N1 Reinforced Cylinder Block

N1 Pistons

N1 Piston Rings

N1 Con-rods

N1 Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

N1 Exhaust Manifold.

No ABS, A/C, Radio/Cd, rear wiper, carpets and a factory standard Carbon Fibre bonnet was installed to reduce weight.

V-Spec II Nur's and M-Spec Nur's are based on the V-Spec II N1's but WITH ABS, A/C, Radio/Cd, rear wiper, carpets and a factory standard Carbon Fibre bonnet.

Pics ask Iron Chef, he's got one... Damnit I want! LOL! :wacko:

I believe the N1 Engines are hand built so they are very refined / well balanced engines.

get the V-spec II nur instead, easier to get a hold of one as there are more around and worth more in the long run anyway, mainly because it is the 'proper' GTR and not some GT cruiser version which the M-spec is supposed to be (i.e. a little softer).

I believe I saw an M-spec Nur at auto salon or something last time here in Perth, nice looking car :wacko:

I would've thought mint condition Nur's would only increase in price. As they're so rare and becoming somewhat of a classic.

All depends on the timeframe. At this time, they are definitely "undervalued", primarily due to several factors like the economy and the arrival of the R35. Once you give it time, (it could be 5, 10, 15 or 20 or more years), I have absolutely no doubt it would appreciate in value.

Unfortunately this cant be said for "normal" R34 GT-R's such as your V-Spec, V-Spec II and vanilla specs purely for the fact that thousands were produced.

I totally disagree with that.

I dont understand what you mean by "proper" GT-R. Bother are almost identical cars except for a carbon bonnet with V Spec II and a full leather interior and softer struts with the M Specs. I know what i'd prefer and thats sitting on some nice leather seats. The leather they used is not some cheap ass B grade leather as well. It's very soft and high quality.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
