Swap N1 R34 Gtr For R35 + $$


Recommended Posts

The N1 that is the topic of this thread is actually rarer than the Z-Tune, in numbers terms ;)

Value wise, 150-200? No idea, just guessing.

Forget the Z-tune - lets start talking about the KPGC10 coupes - how many of them are in Oz, and how much would they be going for?

Hmms.. interesting comparison.

But weren't they at the plenty back in the day?

well theres only 19 of them so i'd be pretty careful. Its rarer than a lot of higher-end hypercars that cost many times the cost of a Z-tune (AM One-77 springs to mind).

I know in Japan you sometimes see one at those Daikoku Futo meets so they do get driven, but imagine if you owned a car that was 1 of 19 in the existence. you certainly wouldn't drive it everyday. i might make an early morning breakfast run on the sunday though.

Understand what your trying to say...but at the end of the day your trying to compare a nissan (yes a very very good one), with an aston martin which is a luxury car. The DBS is worth well over $500k starting price. The GTR new is say 170k starting point.

Your trying to compare an apple with a hand made chocolate covered strawberry here lol

thats not a gtr, just a regular pgc10 (still kill for one of them lol). geniune s20 engined originals go for $150k minimum i believe

+1

And I hate seeing the "GTR" badge on a "Non" KPGC10.

whats the deal wiith the N1's.

My sources say there were 45 made. This right?

If so,how is this rarer than the 19 Z tunes?

thats what i wondered about. The only thing I can think of is that there's not 45 *road-going* N1's still around as some of them were sold to Japanese tuning houses who turned them into dedicated track cars.

But i still thought the Z-tune was the pinnacle 34. Then the N1, then the M-spec Nurs, V-spec Nurs, etc.

Follow up question: What was the R-tune/S-tune? Never been able to find much info on them. Were they customer cars that Omori tuned right or were they sold from production?

Ye makes sence but, realistically its not like they were all totalled.

Also failed to find out info on R tune/S tune,but from my understanding you sent your GTR to nismo and they fitted s/r tune parts to your car.

I believe what Mr Chef is talking about is the actual model. The magic number of VSpec II N1 cars is 18. Thus making it rarer, ever so slightly, than z tunes.

There is a guy here in Melbourne with an s tune gtr. Gets it serviced at chasers and has had a few offers around the 110k mark.

My understanding is you went to Omori with your gtr and they had different performance packages that you can buy from them.

Ive got some photos of the car on my phone that i haven't uploaded yet but heres a fb link and if you scroll down a bit you will find his car

More so of what they are rather then how many built.

They came factory with a N1 Engine.

N1Twin Turbos (Steel internal ball bearing)

N1 cylinder block (Reinforced with larger cooling channels)

N1 pistons

N1 piston rings

N1 Con-rods

N1 oil pump

N1 water pump

N1 exhaust manifold

Cam shafts are further balanced (From memory)

Sold with no A/C, Radio / CD Player / Rear Wiper / Boot Carpet

A Race Prep Street Car.

That is correct, Nismo S and R Tunes are up to the decision of the customer.

In the past there was:

- Nismo Sports Resetting

- Nismo S-Tune S1

- Nismo R-Tune R1

- Nismo F-Sport GT

Now there is:

- Nismo Sports Resetting

- Nismo S2

- Nismo R2

^^ kk thanks

That pic just helped me make the decision to put Nismo stripes on....

To answer the questions about Nismo R1/R-tune, the short answer is Nismo never actually stuck to their own rules, so every car is basically different, based on what the owner asked for. There were package deals referred to as R1 and S1 that matched the R1 and S1 engine conversions, but even those didn't offer the full list of parts available. I've still never managed to extract any more information from them about my car other than the conversion was done at Omori. They just never bothered keeping records on it.

For reference, mine has an R1 engine, S-tune suspension, and a whole swag of other bits and pieces. The only other R1/N1 combo in existence resides in Europe somewhere.

Just to clarify on the VSpec N1s, 45 were built, 12 of those were sent straight to the track for racing. Of the remaining 33, most were sent to workshops for modification, and most of those ended up back on the track too. The Mines R34 GTR was an N1, for example. TRIAL Osaka also had one for a while.

VSpec II N1s were built in small batches to-order, usually in groups of 3 or five, and were more expensive than all GTRs until the Nurs arrived. A Japanese encyclopedia on R34s puts the total number at 18, which I'm presuming they arrived at by trawling FAST.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
