I think that for that you will find that Nismos will rise in price sharply. Even more than they have already. With them now being legal in the US, the price of limited edition classic cars going crazy all over the planet and the way that the Japanese are increasingly putting a value on these cars, I expect for them to go up dramatically in the next 12-24 months.

Is this a survey question as a matter of interest? Or are you actually interested in buying one? I personally would go with the Nismo out of those two. The Nismo is not actually that different to th

I looked at it like this. Since I was dead set on getting a nismo car myself and actually passed on one. If I get a nismo car, I would want to keep it stock and original. Not saying that these cars can't be fun original. But I'm looking to make a fun car with more power, suspension etc. As much as I like nismo, I just couldn't bring myself to buy one then alter it. So I just got a normal GTR, put as many nismo goods on it, and kind of make your own nismo gtr. Now being that I am american, just having a GTR in general is pretty special and "collectible". That is just how I looked at it. Plus I was like no a/c......I don't want to be picking up chic's in the dead heat of summer with no A/C lol.

I thought the nismo had ac and it was only the n1 that didn't?

AFAIK it was only the N1s that didn't come with AC period. I've heard varying sources tell me AC was either still standard or at least an option on the Nismos. I can say for sure it was available from the factory though because I have an authentic Nismo in my garage now and it has working factory AC (well, the AC is working but I can't switch it to heat currently because the blend servo's out - no biggie here in the deserts of Arizona lol).

I didn't realize the value of Nismo's were that high before reading this thread. Makes me feel even better about the deal I got on this one. She's a solid runner but needs some aesthetic TLC however for me that's a bit of a plus because now I can tastefully modify her without worrying about "ruining" an unmolested Nismo like purists might take issue with :)

Pics would be nice...........

I'm 99.9% sure air conditioning was an option on Nismos.

Just remember, these were homologated specials meaning if they had air std then they would have had to run with air in the race cars.

The whole idea of these cars was to make them as light as possible for the same reason.

I don't know myself if it was optional or standard for all Nismos, I was just confirming that it was available from the factory in response to one of the above posts where JTCC thought it wasn't at all offered. I know of a second Nismo here in Arizona also with AC so mine's not an oddity. The sources I've looked at all agree on the body kit, ABS delete, GMG paint, and rear wiper delete as common to all Nismos but they conflict on the AC bit.

I'd post pics but can't do it from this PC. I'll try to when I'm on my own :)

Been looking at these cars for too long to remember, both N1s and Nismos, most have had AC fitted at a later date, I can only think of a handful without ac and the correct slider type climate control panel. You can tell the ac is added by the colour of the liquid line that runs over the bonnet latch panel, black line is early and probably fitted when new at the factory for a Nismo, and natural aluminium is the later type system that they possibly cost cut to save on a bit of black paint!

The Nismos will appreciate substantially, they were the car with the parts homologated so the race Group A cars could run some of the trick body and engine bits. The parts on these cars would have been very beneficial to the race cars success. The N1 was built as a race car so same same but different I guess. The Nismo had to be sold to the public as group A rules at the time dictated same as a Group A Commodore, Sierra RS500 Cosworth etc, so there 'should' be more survivors, but really they are as rare as each other as age, hard roadside objects and low class driving dictate. Hold on to your GTR special!

I don't have great pics of my Nismo yet since I just got her recently but as requested, here's a couple:

She needs some work to return her to her former glory but that's all in the works and I'll have better pics as I go through that process.

Are those wheels Regamasters?

Yup. Not a fan of them myself to be honest so this weekend I'm swapping them out for a set of TE37SLs in Double Pressed Black. The tires on the car were rotted so I'm glad I had a fresh set waiting to be put on. I know TE37s aren't very original but they seem classic for this car and fitting for a Nismo.

Nice choice of wheel but the Regamasters are still pretty sweet also :)

Or go Nismo LMGT 4's.

I hear the Regamasters are good quality so I'm not knocking them but I just didn't care for how plain they looked on this car - the dark grey color they were in just seemed kind of dull with the grey color of the rest of the car. I thought about LMGT 4s but I ended up really liking the look of these TE37SLs with the double pressed black color.

Swapped them out this weekend and now the car looks like the pics below. First thought I had was that she's starting to look like a proper Skyline (after I also did a wash and defunked the interior a bit lol). Apologies for the crappy pics but it was starting to get dark by the time I finished up.

Car looks great with the new wheels and sits nice as well.

Well done mate :)

Thanks! I can't take credit for the stance since the previous owner had fitted aftermarket suspension already and picked some nice bits - Cusco and Bilstein stuff. Some of the stuff he did to the car might be questionable but not in the suspension department lol.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
