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.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
