Cool discussion guys. Here's my take on things. The V-Spec models were 'order only', you went to the dealer and ordered your car. It has become obvious to me that within that process there was a degr

Shoosh!

My aim is to enjoy driving them albeit not too far.

Then when my wife and I do a dream holiday to South America I will probably sell an N1. We spent heaps of $$ already to see Europe 8 yrs ago. I love these cars, but they're not an obsession.

These cars need to be driven and not cosseted. My 2c.

Totally agree, enjoy it and drive it hard (not thrashing)...no point preserving it for the next owner

Ok Guys, but in particular a question for Terry.........

It's well documented that there were 228 N1's built and 1303 V-Spec 2's built.

Terry's car is a N1 V-Spec 2........

So, does that mean it's one of the 228 built but it's not added to the V-Spec 2 totals?

If so, there were slightly more V-Specs and V-Spec 2's built than the totals suggest.

Does anyone know what the model breakdown of the 228 cars are?

In other words, Std N1's, N1 V-Specs and N1 V-Spec 2's?

Cheers,

Bob.

Great question. My assumption is that the N1s were not considered as v specs. They were the base cars that the N1s were built off. In the same way that v specs are built off stock gtrs. Would be nice to get a comprehensive answer though.

Terry,

My suggestion would be to email Nissan Japan, advise them of your recent purchase and ask them if they could confirm how many N1 V-Spec 2's were built. If they answer that question, I would then go back to them and ask how many V-Specs were built.

Their appropriate email address is - [email protected]

If you get that answer just deduct those two totals off the 228 figure and we have the mystery solved.

My experiences with this kind of thing is if you ask too many questions in one go they get uncomfortable and avoid the answer.

If you take it one step at a time your more likely to get a result.

Cheers,

Bob.

Thank you Bob (and earlier on, Lucas).

I shall go ahead and do this. Since my wife can read and write kanji do you think I may procure a better result first up via that route? Thoughts - or have you found them helpful before in English?

Hi Terry,

I've never had a need to contact them but the boys on the Canadian forum speak very highly of their customer service in English.

That said, given your fortunate circumstances, I would ask in Japanese.

Make sure you include photos of both cars and tell them how you love their products etc etc......

The more complimentary you are towards them, the more likely they are to help you.

Cheers...... Bob.

This has always been my understanding too.

Thanks. Perhaps I should also offer the boss a free game of golf? DekA on the Exec is organising a SAU golf event :)

Terry, just send an English email to that [email protected] email address. You'll likely get a response from Chikako Taguchi. He tends to be the person that responds. Check the pdf letter attached to my first post here:

anybody see the immaculate grade 5A 94 vpecII going through the auctions today? Had something like 30,000km's all standard! was going to put a bid in but was told that it would probably reach the 40's which is over my budget.

On the white grade 5A Vspec II, 31,000km, nice car indeed, sold for 3600000 yen car cost, with some shaken left, you would have needed around $50,000 landed and complied + registration costs.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
