I read a huge article somewhere on the net not long ago i think from memory on autospeed.com, bu tnot exactly sure, but had really comprehencesive write up on the differences between the normal GTR and an N1. I guess the easiest way to pick the N1's where that the majority if not all i think where white and the front lower lip extension was NOT painted. It came with small extras like strut bars front and rear, slightly uprated brakes, and from memory slightly better turbos? If i find the article i'll post it for ya.

- Look for carbon fibre diffusers front and back

- No stereo, and no aerial (replaced with rubber blanking plug)

- No A/C on climate control, button blanked out

- Oil coolers for both engine and transfer case

- N1 vehicle ID plate

can't think of anything else off the top of my head.....

depends on the model as to what the differences are. but basically N1 was designed for "production class" group N racing. They were made in R32 (228) only one in Australia R33 and R34

The difference are: (someone will blow me out of the water here as I am not sure of all the differences)

base model is usually a V-spec but with the following additions at the factory... ie during production

steel wheel N1 turbos

different ECU mapping

N1 water pump

N1 oil pump

N1 block

different pistons and rods

oil coolers for diff, gear box and engine (engine oil to H2O)

no A/C though it could be spec'd up (pannel still there)

white in colour

carbon bonnet on 34

faster sample rate for the ATTESSA

faster sample rate for ABS (no ABS on R32????)

different sacale on instruments speedo boost gauge etc

larger exhaust

under tray and diffusers depending on model

someone must be running one of these in targa, or an N1 replice that could add to this or correct the list steve from justjap or targa

very hard to find out information when you dont speak japanese

this is a copy of imformation I have placed elsewhere

As silly as it sounds Nissan may be able to varify, perhaps through someone like Hornsby nissan, who deal a lot with nissan japan due to the work they do on GTR's (R32 dealer)

Also:

evo-r had one which did not have the build plates on it

Jeff Keyte running one in targa

as is Steve Glenney

AVO in melbourne did a 3L conversion on one

hope this helps a little

Cheers Alex
