If you wikipedia R34 gtr it goes through the variants and what the differences are, Nur has the N1 motor with different cams and a few other mods plus paint and some goodies. The M spec is a more a softy with "ripple control suspension" .

Thanks but what I'd like to know is the turbo? Stock gtr or the steel ones just as the N1s.

Also, wiki doesnt say its the same motor as N1, which is why I asked that question. It says "based" so its really just saying similiar. Maybe the NURs owner can clarify this with VIN?

The Nür model featured an improved RB26DETT based on the N1 racing engine, used by Nismo in Motorsports.
what is it that one would expect to be the difference between a V-Spec II and a V-Spec II Nur? I ask as I don't know and I'm admittedly hoping that you'll collectively pardon my laziness and someone will take 2 minutes to type 3 lines to explain!?

there is a big difference between the VspecII and the VspecII Nur.

VspecII is not much different from a Vspec or even non vspec. they have uprated suspension, rear diffuser and a few very minor tweaks.

the NUR however has:

carbon bonnet

R34 N1 engine (has N1 block, N1 pistons, hand built, full balanced, N1 cams, N1 oil and water pumps, and yes it has N1 turbos)

very rare (heaps of VSII's many less Nur's)

all Nur's are 2002 models

there are some other differences but the biggie is the engine and the exclusivity of it.

Thank you kind Sir again. What would the stock engine be capable of handling in terms of power output before going forged internals?

you mean the stock N1/Nur engine? they are quite happy with 550-600hp providing you do the supporting cooling and driveline mods in a street car and occasional track day car. If it's going to be an all out track car on slicks or new semis then I'd lower that limit down to around 500hp to help keep it alive.

as long as temps, oil surge, and tune are managed properly 600hp for an N1 engine is a snap. As long as it's not detonating the pistons will last as will everything else. up to around 350rwkw is the sweet spot. Once you get much past that you will have spent so much on other bits (driveline, brakes, suspension, engine accessories, turbos etc) that you might as well do a forged build and dry sump it (if it's a track car). in serious GTR the $10K spent on a basic rebuild is just a drop in the ocean, money wise.

but yeah, there is no inherent design flaws in the engine components that limit the power. it's more a matter of having adequate cooling, oil supply and good tuning.

to sumarise:

street/track-day = 600hp

dedicated race car = 550hp

but of course with the right gear you could have one making 1000hp but any hint of DET or cooling problems would see it end fairly quickly. :(

Clear and precise. Exactly what I'm after, thank you.

The reason for asking is because everyone's been telling me the block itself is good more than a 1000hp but never got around knowing what is the limit of the stock engine itself (this come to my mind when people go on about how the 2jz are capable of high hp without engine mods when comparing to rb26).

As you've mentioned, most owners of N1/NUR I know or read of would run their car stock to around 300-350rwkw (above 20psi) because thats what the whole stock car is capable of without really having the need of any supporting mods (e.g. clutch, fuel etc) but anything more you'll be looking at upgrading the fuel system at the very least.

And really to me, to mod the N1/NUR to the extend of forged internal or even turbo defeats the purpose of having that car (even for putting a/c on mine I've already got people telling me the same thing...). Anyway the factory oil cooler is a very nice to have and I'm sure there no real need in upgrading that too.

Unfortunately R34's never came with a factory oil cooler, unless you have the Pommie model :)

Hey? I thought N1 oil cooler's a standard factory item for N1s? Or you're saying the NURs doesnt have them?

Hey Kristian. Any web sites you can recommend for info and specs on N1's /Nur's

Good Luck Kimbod!

Recently I had seen quite a few R34 N1s for sale ... currently I am also hunting for a Nur ... the Last one that got sold in Auction was back in Feb ...

Let me know if you come across any :P

Hey l180sxl. Mate I got a v spec N1[ 2000] 29000kms, one owner and log books . and hopefully it should be here soon. she is beautiful. Just like specs and details on things . we were top bidders on a number of cars , M spec, N1's and others, but below reserve

How many R34 N1's were made? :blush:

lol I've been wondering the same thing lately given how many seem to be coming through auction!

I know you already know the answer, but:

45 V-Spec N1s, 12 of which were track-only, most of the rest were purchased for road use/modification by race teams anyway. Mines obviously had one, so did TRIAL at some point.

To the best of my knowledge, 18 V-Spec II N1s were built, 3 of which, ironically, reside in Australia.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
