Ok some quick questions

This is all i know about the N1:

"ALL N1 VEHICLES HAVE STRONGER BLOCK, STRONGER CONRODS, STRONGER PISTONS, LARGER STEEL WHEEL TURBOCHARGERS, NO AIR CONDITIONING, LARGE OIL COOLER, DIFFERENT WATER PUMP, DIFFERENT OIL PUMP, QUICK RATIO STEERING RACK, AND NUMEROUS OTHER SMALL CHANGES"

Also they didn't come with a radio or air con (???)

How much would they be worth over here and is there anything else different about them?

The block, conrods and pistons are meant to be stronger but there is no evidence that indicates it is the case. The block number is different to that of any other rb26. The turbos are the same size but have steel wheels.

Larger oil cooler - this is not true since a normal gtr doesn't have a oil cooler at all however there is a huge nismo oil cooler. The suspension is also apparently slightly tweeked so the ride is a little firmer.

No radio thus no antenna, no air con, less sound deadening, no rear windscreen wiper, no vanity mirror, carbon fibre rear wing and front carbon fibre undertray etc.

They were only released in white.

IMO they should be around a $15-20k premium over a normal V-spec, that is if u can find one.

:( - good stinking luck finding one, you'd be better off trying to find an R34 GTR N1.

Its a pure track car, so only necesities, hence the no air con, radio etc...

Ive been looking for a V-spec at the japanese auctions for ages and managed to get a white N1 yesterday with 80000 on the clock, probably land it for around the 36G mark.  Ended up going fairly cheap, now just going to have to put the air con in!

Who is doing the compliance in WA for it and why would you buy an N1 and THEN put the aircon back in.

Think you might find that's a bigger job than you think as I would suggest the wiring isn't even in the harness.

Paul Rogers ( ex Wildcats ) had an N1 but sold it to a local guy over here. It was at Barbagallos and they were asking around 60K but that was a few years ago.

cheers

You wont need aircon in Canberra... at a guess id say the current temperature is well under 15 degrees :( and in summer it doesnt get overly hot, and if it does, just wind your window down :)

If you want the car to have aircon, why not just go for a R33 GTR V-spec? Its no N1, and you wont have a swish build plate, but you will have a car better suited for daily driving (which is the impression that rubs off on me if you need aircon)

But thats just my $0.02 ;)

Im interested in other peoples opinions so thanks guys, this car will rarely be my daily driver, more like a weekend car, basically i want it to have all the good things interior and exterior.

Yeah i could have bought a V-spec but this is a rarer car that has better go fast stuff (and also i got it cheaper than id been bidding on normal V-specs), ive got more money to play with if things go wrong or i dont like how something is set up.

Knore, not sure if it was overly raced or even at all as most of the other stuff on it was fairly standard - im sure i'll find out, if im too worried i'll just get an ASWN warranty.

Which brings me to my next question, if its been raced what stuff would normally be the first to go, given the internals have been somewhat strengthened?

Only reason i said that is because if something does break and requires an actuall N1 Vspec part then look out for the prices!!

Try and get it atleast dynod so you can see the power and air fuel ratios etc

I honestly wouldnt be buying this unless i was certain

hmm, just my opinion and its probably been said before.

but why pay the extra $20K or something to get an N1?

when u could get a V spec and with that $20K spend it on bettering a N1?

particularly if you are not going to race it?

like for a few $$$ you could upgrade to aftermarket turbos, fit an exhaust if it doesn't already have one, intercooler etc etc.. you could get those Volk TE37s that you wanted but cos you forked out all that more for the car and couldn't afford

and i am sure if you really want there is copies of the carbon under trays/ diffusers

or better yet you could put that $20K as a deposit down on a house

Well im getting it over here for only 36G!  Thats everything, stamp duty, tyres the lot, so theres a risk its been flogged but hey money fixes most things

I agree - for that money, it is worth getting! who here would knock back an actual N1 at that money?!?!?

Burto, if you end up getting it and come to Canberra, get the air con!! Nik, don't you remember how hot is was last summer!!! I would not have a car without fridgeability...

I imagine you can get the N1 complied the same as a standard R33 GTR.

sounds like a good price, congratulations, although, unlike what someone else said, i you will find that the N1 turbos are larger than the standard ones, they come on boost approx 500-800rpm later than the stock ones, making them similar to hks 2530's.

I know this for sure (im not just repeating something ive read on the forum) as i just rode in a friends car who recently fitted N1s.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
