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.

    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.  
    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything.
