I'll see if I can find any links but for some reason I've always thought there were 2 codes for the N1. If yours is a fake then someone had spent more making it look like one than what an original would be worth so doubt it :)

Yep, it seems you guys are right. I must have been on crack or something at the time, because I've had it in my head all along that there was a ZY n1 which referred to the V-spec I/II based models.

Ok - took delivery of my car last Friday and its now fully registered.

'Racepace' here in Melbourne put it through its paces and it got excellent compression of 175-180 all the way through. We removed the boost restrictor and I get 196 rwkW nothing more planned at the moment.

Some of the vinyl needed some loving and there is a small corrosion hole in the exhaust - nothing serious.....

We mounted a Rapfix quick release and Momo as well - only thing required now is the Blaupunkt stereo.

Also received the full service history in the mail today. The car did 800kms in the last 11 years, which seemed to mainly consist of the 25 kms round trip to the Dealer twice a year. I wonder what the story behind that is......

Needless to say I've put about 6 years worth on it in 1 week (is that bad ;-)

I'll take some nice pictures when the Melbourne weather is better

Cheers

Sick. That's awesome Baron.

Drive her and enjoy her. Mine gets used daily by me or the wife. It's regularly doing the school run. My boy is the only kid at his school that gets in and out of the back of an R32 V-Spec. He loves it.

One of the motivations was definitely to be the coolest dad dropping off the kids. The child seat for my daughter sits remarkably well in it ;-)

The use it or lose it Baron

Finally found the dyno chart from when i had mine tuned.

The bottom line is stock, and the top is 16psi. Both are with everything stock except Nistune ECU, exhaust and pod filters. Started maxing out the AFM's so we stopped, but has had that tune since 09 and for me its perfect. That curve is why i love the N1's. Very drivable.

Not bad for a stockish 20yr old car :)

Thats interesting NISMO. I dyno'd my R32 N1, completely stock in everyway, including exhaust, airbox, ECU and boost. On the 4 wheel hub dyno it ran 180kw at all 4 wheels @ 0.8 bar boost. Which is pretty much exactly what it is supposed to be as per the factory spec. The most interesting thing is that the car didnt make full boost until about 5,200rpm. Which makes sense as they are N1 a/r 0.64 turbos. My assumption is that they are designed to be running much higher than the stock 0.8 bar, but restricted them to that to meet the 206kw gentlemans agreed power limit.

Even though it is not running huge dyno numbers, and it doesnt make max boost until 5,200 rpm, it is still quite a bit quicker around my local track than my previous stock R32 GTR. So that is sweet.

Sorry for the thread dig, I got all excited when I found this

Here is my car:

V-Spec - build date 11/93

'Chassis No' : BNR32-305724

'Model': KBNR32RBFSN NA - not sure what the deal is here?

Location: Canberra

I picked the car up originally from Fuji Motorsports in sydney early 07. Long story short, I sold it October 07.

I was browsing car sales in October 13 and BAM there it was, some phone calls were made and my fiance gave me the nod, picked it up a few days later.

Mods include,

Apexi coilovers, hks super dragger cat back exhaust, trust body kit, nismo bonnet and boot lips, no BBS rims. all imported with the car

Since I bought it back I have been tidying it but and fixing a few things for rego.

I'll try get some pics uploaded asap

Hmmm....... Does it have an driver's side airbag and is it missing the rear wing?

Yup has a drivers airbag and has both standard gtr spoiler on and nismo lip.

According to the VIN decoder that I use it should have the air bag but NOT the rear wing.

It may have been added later on.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
