I'll see if I can find any links but for some reason I've always thought there were 2 codes for the N1. If yours is a fake then someone had spent more making it look like one than what an original would be worth so doubt it :)

Yep, it seems you guys are right. I must have been on crack or something at the time, because I've had it in my head all along that there was a ZY n1 which referred to the V-spec I/II based models.

Ok - took delivery of my car last Friday and its now fully registered.

'Racepace' here in Melbourne put it through its paces and it got excellent compression of 175-180 all the way through. We removed the boost restrictor and I get 196 rwkW nothing more planned at the moment.

Some of the vinyl needed some loving and there is a small corrosion hole in the exhaust - nothing serious.....

We mounted a Rapfix quick release and Momo as well - only thing required now is the Blaupunkt stereo.

Also received the full service history in the mail today. The car did 800kms in the last 11 years, which seemed to mainly consist of the 25 kms round trip to the Dealer twice a year. I wonder what the story behind that is......

Needless to say I've put about 6 years worth on it in 1 week (is that bad ;-)

I'll take some nice pictures when the Melbourne weather is better

Cheers

Sick. That's awesome Baron.

Drive her and enjoy her. Mine gets used daily by me or the wife. It's regularly doing the school run. My boy is the only kid at his school that gets in and out of the back of an R32 V-Spec. He loves it.

One of the motivations was definitely to be the coolest dad dropping off the kids. The child seat for my daughter sits remarkably well in it ;-)

The use it or lose it Baron

Finally found the dyno chart from when i had mine tuned.

The bottom line is stock, and the top is 16psi. Both are with everything stock except Nistune ECU, exhaust and pod filters. Started maxing out the AFM's so we stopped, but has had that tune since 09 and for me its perfect. That curve is why i love the N1's. Very drivable.

Not bad for a stockish 20yr old car :)

Thats interesting NISMO. I dyno'd my R32 N1, completely stock in everyway, including exhaust, airbox, ECU and boost. On the 4 wheel hub dyno it ran 180kw at all 4 wheels @ 0.8 bar boost. Which is pretty much exactly what it is supposed to be as per the factory spec. The most interesting thing is that the car didnt make full boost until about 5,200rpm. Which makes sense as they are N1 a/r 0.64 turbos. My assumption is that they are designed to be running much higher than the stock 0.8 bar, but restricted them to that to meet the 206kw gentlemans agreed power limit.

Even though it is not running huge dyno numbers, and it doesnt make max boost until 5,200 rpm, it is still quite a bit quicker around my local track than my previous stock R32 GTR. So that is sweet.

Sorry for the thread dig, I got all excited when I found this

Here is my car:

V-Spec - build date 11/93

'Chassis No' : BNR32-305724

'Model': KBNR32RBFSN NA - not sure what the deal is here?

Location: Canberra

I picked the car up originally from Fuji Motorsports in sydney early 07. Long story short, I sold it October 07.

I was browsing car sales in October 13 and BAM there it was, some phone calls were made and my fiance gave me the nod, picked it up a few days later.

Mods include,

Apexi coilovers, hks super dragger cat back exhaust, trust body kit, nismo bonnet and boot lips, no BBS rims. all imported with the car

Since I bought it back I have been tidying it but and fixing a few things for rego.

I'll try get some pics uploaded asap

Hmmm....... Does it have an driver's side airbag and is it missing the rear wing?

Yup has a drivers airbag and has both standard gtr spoiler on and nismo lip.

According to the VIN decoder that I use it should have the air bag but NOT the rear wing.

It may have been added later on.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
