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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      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 may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
