Congrats on the purchase mate.

I believe Savman's is a genuine N1, no doubt he'll confirm.

As an aside, I believe the R32 N! was the only version to have the ABS deleted. I know the genuine R34 N1 I campaigned last year in Targa had ABS, and I'm pretty sure the 33 does too :wave: Savman's car does.

yep we rally a genuine n1, and the other n1 in tassie is a rally car too..... it's the reason they were made. running 1.3 bar of boost with the pfc boost control kit.

R33 N1's do not have ball bearing turbos. they run a bigger than std bush bearing steel wheel turbos. The N1 engine is much more refind than the std one, we run ours to 8500rpm

ABS was a delete option, never seen one with that box ticked though.

there is no need to replace the r33 airbox, it breathes realy well, as it's got 2 air intakes.

you don't want to sell the kevlar diffuser cheap do you :blink: i broke ours last year.

Nice!

Do let me know when the site is up. The N1 seems to be a myth to most people including myself. Not much is known about them. I would like to know the production figures and some technical specifications of the stock car. But apart from wiki there's nothing much I can find.

Heres the pictures. Unfortunately the car is gonna be sitting in the workshop for the next week as well... unless someone's got any suggestion on the a/c fix.

Currently the oil cooler is sort of in the way and is using 1 of the hole which the bracket for the condenser goes. What we thought of doing is

a) cut the oil cooler brackets off and let it hang in between the condenser radiator and intercooler (I dont really want to touch any of the stock parts)

b) bend the condenser and try to fit in between

c) talk to the a/c people and see if we can get a small condenser to fit or custom the current 1 to fit (looks like this is the way to go for now, cut the condenser and weld it. Only downside is maybe the a/c wouldnt be as cold?)

I thought the N1 oil cooler would be an after market part for some people. Dont know why it doesnt fit....

LOL! :P

N1 buddy!

It came from factory with NO A/C and you are trying to fit one... Haha!!

Yes N1's came with standard oil coolers.

Whats it gonna be..? Performance or Luxury?

:laughing-smiley-014:

Nice engine bay as it looks nice and clean.

BTW your air intake looks different to the other R33 GTR's. I thought there would be a big air feed which sits on top of the radiator..?

Your intake must feed air up from the bottom of the front bar.

well technically speaking I think cutting the condenser should work as well but it wouldnt be as cold (so I still get a bit of a/c, lol). Anyone fit the oil cooler on their gtst or gtr before? Please tell me howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'm also thinking of getting a Kaki Regu 06&R (I love that titanium look) to replace the Trust TI (sad but I dont like to be a cop magnet). Anyone thats keen on buying the Trust please let me know. As soon I get the a/c crap done, I'll start hunting for the Kaki.

I didnt know so many things are illegal in Aussie (even boost controller)... and since its my first car, I dont have much clue on how hard do cops pick on imports.

redtop injectors?

its just the plugs...if you look closely at the 1st and 3rd injector in the 2nd pic you can see they are stock yellow GTR items.

Most of the time, aftermarket oil coolers are fitted down on the driver side behind the front bar where there is a vent to allow air to it.

Just hide your boost controller and your piping and solenoids in the engine bay and paint them black so it looks "Stock".

Haha!!

N1 should already have a nismo catch can on the passengers side. The N1 oil cooler is designed to take up the ac condencer & bottle space. My mate has a R32 nismo edition, and they came with a N1 cooler, but he has 1/2 a condencer that sits on the passengers side of the radiator. I'd be careful of putting a condencer between the oil cooler and ratiator. Just cause it's less air flow for the radiator.

Do you know what model the trust ti is? i'm after a 80mm Trust ti-r for the Targa car.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
