R33 V-Spec N1 Hits Townsville

[R33 n1 5923]

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.

My research found that there was 98 R33 N1 cars made. This number I got from iron chef.

Was this the one that raced in targa?

[R33 n1 5923]

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.

Ps, it's not the targa car, still for sale on carsales.com for about $80k I think. Paid $35k for mine.

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.

Bugger, it would be quicker to learn Japanese.

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.

Congratulations!

I'd make sure that you obtain the appropriate sum insured value from your insurance company in due course; if not now, then when it's time to renew, shop around!

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.

[R33 n1 5923]

Correction: was only 290 kph, got a bit exited and misread it. What a beast.

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.
