i have a R32 GTR nismo edition and im trying to find out how many there are in australia.

if there were only 560 made in 1990 then it must be getting rare by now.

if anyones got one post it up here with a few pictures and info.

also N1's. there wouldnt be many out of the 228 or whatever it was.

Hey mate, great buy with that car, would have snapped it up real quick if I had not bought already, (still tried, but the missus objected..) I have asked the same question about V-specIIs, because of the 1303 built there seems to be about 1500 left... I know of at least 3 Nismos on here including yours, and there is at least 1 N1. Make sure you register in the "rare skylines" thread.

There are 3 N1's lining up for Targa.

There's 2 i think on here that i know of, i also know a couple in Canada, and 1 in the US.

There would also be a fair few left in Japan guys (NISMO's and N1's). Being that there's not much info that comes out of Japan in English, its very hard to get accurate figures.

But the cars just didn't dissapear off the face of the earth. Yes a number would have been lost on race tracks but i don't think they're as scarce as some believe.

It just looks that way to us, cause so few make it Aus and other English speaking countries.

i reckon the numbers would be close to half.

gotta think about all the dickheads that would have written them off over the past 20 years.

anyone know the prices both of them are going for at the moment??????

The last N1 i saw had a few small mods, 120000k's, no books and was around $30k landed and complied.

I've also seen several original very low km v-spec's and non v-specs sell for close to $40k in great condition so a very original N1 or NISMO would be upwards of that.

But in all seriousness, you would have to find a pretty motivated buyer to get those prices.

In saying all that, I've seen modded, un original, no books NISMO's sell for around $20k.

either way i guess swapping my clubsport (paid $13,000 for it) for a basically stock NISMO was a good deal for me then. :blink:

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
