Hi all, I am from UK and recently purchased a R32 GTR N1 from Japan and due to be with me in 2 days time. I am very excited as I sold my last 32 GTR 10 years ago and now I am back with a GTR that I love. I will keep updating this thread as I am planning to drive the car and not just a garage ornament! I have bought lot of new OEM parts to refresh the car such as new carpets etc. Herewith few photos in Japan :)

As much as i hate to be thr one to burst your bubble i dont think you will find its an n1. Wrong side skirts and boot lip spoiler is missing. Also has mesh in front bar and no brembos

The chassis number end with a ZN, and this is a non V spec N1 hence no Brembo. Side skirt and boot lip are only option on N1 and those are Nismo version part. Also there are no mesh. Just get the fact right :)

As this car is focused on originality, therefore any parts I put on will be easily removable smile.gif

Today I changed the pedal pads as they are a bit old but not worn out. But they are very cheap so I thought why not

Next is the bumper lower lip spoiler. As the car came with color coded lip and I like the original grey color oem look so I took the old one off and replaced with a new one which i bought last year ....i know i know.......rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif

It was a fairly straight forward swap apart from some very stubborn fasteners on the old lip. However, I am surprised by the condition as all fixing point are still intact and all in good shape. May keep it for spare instead!!

Sorry i dont think is good idea to disclose frame number in pubic, if you are so keen to know you can ask Terry with the V spec 2 N1 and he know my car is real deal :)

If you don't know you can check the VIN on GTR-Registry.com and find out it's build # too :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
