I think that for that you will find that Nismos will rise in price sharply. Even more than they have already. With them now being legal in the US, the price of limited edition classic cars going crazy all over the planet and the way that the Japanese are increasingly putting a value on these cars, I expect for them to go up dramatically in the next 12-24 months.

Is this a survey question as a matter of interest? Or are you actually interested in buying one? I personally would go with the Nismo out of those two. The Nismo is not actually that different to th

I looked at it like this. Since I was dead set on getting a nismo car myself and actually passed on one. If I get a nismo car, I would want to keep it stock and original. Not saying that these cars can't be fun original. But I'm looking to make a fun car with more power, suspension etc. As much as I like nismo, I just couldn't bring myself to buy one then alter it. So I just got a normal GTR, put as many nismo goods on it, and kind of make your own nismo gtr. Now being that I am american, just having a GTR in general is pretty special and "collectible". That is just how I looked at it. Plus I was like no a/c......I don't want to be picking up chic's in the dead heat of summer with no A/C lol.

I thought the nismo had ac and it was only the n1 that didn't?

AFAIK it was only the N1s that didn't come with AC period. I've heard varying sources tell me AC was either still standard or at least an option on the Nismos. I can say for sure it was available from the factory though because I have an authentic Nismo in my garage now and it has working factory AC (well, the AC is working but I can't switch it to heat currently because the blend servo's out - no biggie here in the deserts of Arizona lol).

I didn't realize the value of Nismo's were that high before reading this thread. Makes me feel even better about the deal I got on this one. She's a solid runner but needs some aesthetic TLC however for me that's a bit of a plus because now I can tastefully modify her without worrying about "ruining" an unmolested Nismo like purists might take issue with :)

Pics would be nice...........

I'm 99.9% sure air conditioning was an option on Nismos.

Just remember, these were homologated specials meaning if they had air std then they would have had to run with air in the race cars.

The whole idea of these cars was to make them as light as possible for the same reason.

I don't know myself if it was optional or standard for all Nismos, I was just confirming that it was available from the factory in response to one of the above posts where JTCC thought it wasn't at all offered. I know of a second Nismo here in Arizona also with AC so mine's not an oddity. The sources I've looked at all agree on the body kit, ABS delete, GMG paint, and rear wiper delete as common to all Nismos but they conflict on the AC bit.

I'd post pics but can't do it from this PC. I'll try to when I'm on my own :)

Been looking at these cars for too long to remember, both N1s and Nismos, most have had AC fitted at a later date, I can only think of a handful without ac and the correct slider type climate control panel. You can tell the ac is added by the colour of the liquid line that runs over the bonnet latch panel, black line is early and probably fitted when new at the factory for a Nismo, and natural aluminium is the later type system that they possibly cost cut to save on a bit of black paint!

The Nismos will appreciate substantially, they were the car with the parts homologated so the race Group A cars could run some of the trick body and engine bits. The parts on these cars would have been very beneficial to the race cars success. The N1 was built as a race car so same same but different I guess. The Nismo had to be sold to the public as group A rules at the time dictated same as a Group A Commodore, Sierra RS500 Cosworth etc, so there 'should' be more survivors, but really they are as rare as each other as age, hard roadside objects and low class driving dictate. Hold on to your GTR special!

I don't have great pics of my Nismo yet since I just got her recently but as requested, here's a couple:

She needs some work to return her to her former glory but that's all in the works and I'll have better pics as I go through that process.

Are those wheels Regamasters?

Yup. Not a fan of them myself to be honest so this weekend I'm swapping them out for a set of TE37SLs in Double Pressed Black. The tires on the car were rotted so I'm glad I had a fresh set waiting to be put on. I know TE37s aren't very original but they seem classic for this car and fitting for a Nismo.

Nice choice of wheel but the Regamasters are still pretty sweet also :)

Or go Nismo LMGT 4's.

I hear the Regamasters are good quality so I'm not knocking them but I just didn't care for how plain they looked on this car - the dark grey color they were in just seemed kind of dull with the grey color of the rest of the car. I thought about LMGT 4s but I ended up really liking the look of these TE37SLs with the double pressed black color.

Swapped them out this weekend and now the car looks like the pics below. First thought I had was that she's starting to look like a proper Skyline (after I also did a wash and defunked the interior a bit lol). Apologies for the crappy pics but it was starting to get dark by the time I finished up.

Car looks great with the new wheels and sits nice as well.

Well done mate :)

Thanks! I can't take credit for the stance since the previous owner had fitted aftermarket suspension already and picked some nice bits - Cusco and Bilstein stuff. Some of the stuff he did to the car might be questionable but not in the suspension department lol.

50g that is interesting. I have seen a few for sale in USD around 25k +/- landed. Seems to be the average that I have seen. Some are super clean to.

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Transmission synchros feel pretty bad at this point in my car and sometimes the clutch feels like it has an inconsistent engagement point in the pedal travel. I figure if I'm going to swap in a new transmission I may as well also put in a new clutch. Obvious candidates are ATS's pull-type twin plate carbon clutch, Nismo Super Coppermix Twin, or some organic clutch option I haven't figured out yet. I have searched this stuff to death at this point and still don't feel all that confident in making a decision. Target power is not much. ~330 kW at the wheels max. I ballpark the torque spec at 600 N-m. The stock clutch feels a little light so a little heavier is ok but I would say no more than 15-20% additional pedal effort. For some reason most clutch manufacturers want to keep this stuff a secret but the Coppermix Twin is 950 kg clamp load so I figure it can't be too much heavier than stock. The hang-up I have is some people mentioning that the clutch is very grabby which sounds like a pain. The stock clutch is almost too easy to modulate so I don't mind if it requires more precision than that but I don't want to deal with something that feels like I'm getting rear-ended at every traffic light. Also I see some mention of the release bearing carrier sizing requiring some work which sounds like something that might complicate installation? It would be good to know exactly what is needed here for a 1995 R33 GTR. The ATS clutch is supposedly the best but I've seen some complaints that they wear out easily and also slip when cold. I don't know how much of that is true but the cost is also huge compared to even the Nismo Coppermix twin plate. It's also unsprung which normally I would reject immediately but supposedly carbon clutches don't need it. The higher clamp load at 1300 kg is also a little concerning but to me more clamp load seems like it inevitably means more pedal effort and also more strain on the engine crank thrust bearings.  This is a street car and despite being a weekend car I seem to spend a lot of time crawling in severe traffic congestion with it anyways so I will gladly pay to have something that is easy to drive on and will hold the power with no unexpected headaches. I really don't want to do a clutch twice.

      Grease the poly bushes as your first order of business. Moly grease. Spanner check everything else. Inspect LCA inner bushes.

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's usually associated with a muffler. Often in the middle of the muffler, sometimes at an inlet. Not removable by just slipping something out. usually needs butchery (read outright replacement of the muffler). There's absolutely nothing magic about any Jap exhaust brand. Totally generic. Totally replaceable with anything else that will do the job. I've replaced the centre muffler in mine a couple of times.

      EFR Anti surge = T51R mod?

      By RB335 · Posted

      I've had a 9280, 9280's in stock form produce a bit of a whine when coming on unlike the 9180 so you may already like the turbo sound as it is.

      Creaking sound on momentum change 99 RsFour

      By Wazmond · Posted

      So everytime the car is changing momentum, say you were going forward, and then you brake, itll do the creaking  and then wont happen when you brake again while still going forward. but once you put it into reverse and then you brake itll creak, but wont creak any more after while still reversing. And then again, when you go back to forward and the first time you brake, itll creak.  ( note will only happen the first time you brake when traveling a direction ). Wont happen, when youre going up speed bumps or hitting a pothole etc. Sound comes from Front left area.    I'm unsure as to what might be causing this sound so if anyone has any suggestions please. Ive got a set of R34 GTT brakes that I will be installing soon too. (and disregard the gutter rashes, from previous owner(s)... ) Otherwise, it has a shot set of Tein Coilovers, original bushings except poly on tension rods. Car has 138k kms. Video reference :
