as the title reads. i am currently in the market for an r32 gtr. i have found a gtr that i have fallen in love with. i have also been told that it is one of 228 ever built N1 versions. it was built in 1994. as i dont know much about these, i need help to verify its authenticity. can anyone tell me the differences between the N1 gtr and the Everyday GTRs? i have been told, that the n1 had these extras:

stronger n1 block, n1 turbos, oil cooler, brembo brakes, front bar intercooler ducts

and had these removed:

rear wiper, abs, sound deadening, airconditioning.

is there anyway to tell that it is the stronger block? what should i look for? what questions should i ask? after the vin number there is a KR which apparently not found on normal skyline gtrs. does this denote anything?

is this car faster than standard? what is a reasonable price to pay? any help regarding this car and what to look out for when buying a gtr would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

i think the n1 also has Q and another letter dont know what it is in fron of the serial no. on the car so instead of normal bnr32ect. it wil have qbnr32ect. or the other letter tha i cant remember right now. Also steve is right the casting on the block should be 24u nt 05u. Not sureif the r32 n1 had an oil cooler though!!

i have found an r32 n1 gtr for sale. the guys want 50k for it... do you think that's asking for my left testicle? this car also has brembo brakes.... is this standard? if so, what rims did they come with? the vspec bbs rims? from what i can see, it seems as if it is quite genuine. the rear wiper is missing, 320 km/h speedo, no abs (but the plugs still exist) the oil cooler which is integrated into the air conditioning condenser. i know the n1 doesnt have a/c but it was a factory option. where do you guys get your information from? i have been looking all over the net for it. a lot of ppl dont even know that the 32 n1s exist. oh... the vin plate also has ZN after the serial number. does this denote the car to be an n1 spec? how can i find out more about the block? is there any tell tale signs that it is the strengthened version?

underneath does it have the sheilds on the front and rear? i think they were carbonfibre shields... if its the same as the 33 most of the engine mods are pretty much unseen unless u take it apart.

i know this thread hasent been updated for 2 years or so, but just incase any1 has the same problem...

if u have a closer look, you should just be able to see 1 of the turbos if u stick ure head in far enough. If it is a N1 it will have a small rectangular plarque (welded on, not screwed on) on the turbo, you can barley see it because of the position of the turbos but if u do find it, it means its either an N1 or some sort of cheap aftermarket turbo.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
