n1 was the sneaky race homologated model that nissan built on top of r32 vspec 1 and vspec 2.

it was basically the same except for larger turbos (really crap by modern standards, but a fair bit bigger than the base model had). few other changes like the body kit (nostrils in the bonnet, side skirts and rear lip under the spoiler), no rear wiper, no air con, no abs.

33 and 34 also had n1 and they got progressively sneakier

Yep, In that video the N1 car is from the N1 racing series that Japan runs. It's pretty much a production car series, hence why Nissan built teh N1 spec road cars.

The actual name of the series i believe was N1 Super Taikyu.

No idea if the regs are still production based as they were in the time of the 32, but here's a link to teh current series.

some stunning cars!!

Also the sound system, boot carpet, and the use of light-weight headlights were used to save weight.

The N1's only came in a thin layer of Crystal White paint, again to save weight.

I assume the N1 turbo's ran higher boost (1 Bar..?) then the standard +0.7 Bar...

Developed by Nismo for Group A and Group N Motorsport.

Nismo balanced the crankshaft to a higher specification than stock.

The engine also received improved water channels within the engine block.

The top piston rings were also upgraded to 1.2 mm.

Upgraded N1 Camshafts and Turbochargers (Garrett T25) with steel wheels then ceramic.

An approx build of 228 N1 R32 GTR's were produced, from 19th of July 1991.

So far I know a few ppl on SAU are fortunate to have N1 R32 GTR's.
