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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
