Hi fellow Gt-r owners, just bought a 1995 r33 N1(Build # 33005923) and going to Melbourne to pick it up Wednesday . Still can't confirm how many were made and would love to hear figures from someone knowageable. The guy at imperial motors told me in 1995 there were 14 V-Spec N1's and 40 N1's built according to his Japanese connections. Thanks, Brad.

Thanks,It came from NSW rego GTN 11. And pics are on www.lorbekluxurycars.com.au On recent sales, Search Nissan. Will get some on here next week. I'll check iron chef, havnt looked there yet. They would have made the r33n1's for 3 years with most in 95 and least in 97 presumably. Cheers.

I have come up with 122 R33 n1's built from 1995-1997 based on: ignore wiki info.

Google skyline serial numbers and years of production. Add r33 gtr & v-specs =15,711, + 44xR400's + 98x LM Limited + 447 Autech = 16300. Total R33 gtr's including v-spec & N1 was 16422, which means the N1's = 122 if that makes sense. Next riddle would be to figure how many were made each year. There were some R34's made in 1998 so I presume they didn't make R33 N1's that year. So I'm thinking 54-55 in 1995, about 40 in 1996 and about 30 in 1997..

I recon Sudoku puzzles were invented by somone at Nissan too.

Nope doesn't make sense because the autech was a four door, and since built by a third party, don't think it would be in the total number of cars.

Want a number? Start trawling through FAST vin by vin.

Congrats. Assuming you got that from Imperial Auto in Brisbane. I believe Brent got this straight from Japan as I got a mate that told me he was bidding on that same car. I was speaking to Brett around that time and he told me it was sold.

I got my N1 V-spec from Brent too. This seemed to be in a much better condition on the photo than mine when I got it too.

Thanks guys, it turns out my car came from Airlie Beach, not NSW. It is a beast. Has been resprayed and everything inside looks brand new, can't find a scratch inside anywhere , even on the ignition. Took her to 310 kph without hitting the red line and it felt like a lazy 200 max. Can't wait to get back home and go for a spin again.

I took pn-mads advice and went through Nissan fast and recorded all the vins. The 4door Autech sedans were made by Nissan and there were slightly less than 447 made. There were a lot more than 98 lm's made and less than 98 n1's. Mine is #6 of the r33 n1's.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
