Hi fellow Gt-r owners, just bought a 1995 r33 N1(Build # 33005923) and going to Melbourne to pick it up Wednesday . Still can't confirm how many were made and would love to hear figures from someone knowageable. The guy at imperial motors told me in 1995 there were 14 V-Spec N1's and 40 N1's built according to his Japanese connections. Thanks, Brad.

Thanks,It came from NSW rego GTN 11. And pics are on www.lorbekluxurycars.com.au On recent sales, Search Nissan. Will get some on here next week. I'll check iron chef, havnt looked there yet. They would have made the r33n1's for 3 years with most in 95 and least in 97 presumably. Cheers.

I have come up with 122 R33 n1's built from 1995-1997 based on: ignore wiki info.

Google skyline serial numbers and years of production. Add r33 gtr & v-specs =15,711, + 44xR400's + 98x LM Limited + 447 Autech = 16300. Total R33 gtr's including v-spec & N1 was 16422, which means the N1's = 122 if that makes sense. Next riddle would be to figure how many were made each year. There were some R34's made in 1998 so I presume they didn't make R33 N1's that year. So I'm thinking 54-55 in 1995, about 40 in 1996 and about 30 in 1997..

I recon Sudoku puzzles were invented by somone at Nissan too.

Nope doesn't make sense because the autech was a four door, and since built by a third party, don't think it would be in the total number of cars.

Want a number? Start trawling through FAST vin by vin.

Congrats. Assuming you got that from Imperial Auto in Brisbane. I believe Brent got this straight from Japan as I got a mate that told me he was bidding on that same car. I was speaking to Brett around that time and he told me it was sold.

I got my N1 V-spec from Brent too. This seemed to be in a much better condition on the photo than mine when I got it too.

Thanks guys, it turns out my car came from Airlie Beach, not NSW. It is a beast. Has been resprayed and everything inside looks brand new, can't find a scratch inside anywhere , even on the ignition. Took her to 310 kph without hitting the red line and it felt like a lazy 200 max. Can't wait to get back home and go for a spin again.

I took pn-mads advice and went through Nissan fast and recorded all the vins. The 4door Autech sedans were made by Nissan and there were slightly less than 447 made. There were a lot more than 98 lm's made and less than 98 n1's. Mine is #6 of the r33 n1's.

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
