Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/
I just wanna clear up the N1 reason. Back in the day the Super Taikyu or Super Endurance race series in Japan was called N1 Super Taikyu. It is a race for N class cars. This means production class. So those options Andrew mentions being a factory option from Nissan and not Nismo is because the cars had to come straight from the factory. The N1 Endurance series ran from 1991 to 1995. It was changed to Super N1 Taikyu Series until 2005 and these days it is just called the Super Taikyu Series which runs multiple classes. So if you wanna know more just google those keywords.
@@Sunburnae92 Pretty much. Look up the old Group N specs. If I remember ECU and suspension was free as was cooling systems and safety cage etc. These are rare because they were built in limited numbers and most were used in racing so to find an original N1 for the street is pretty rare.
Hats off to those who keep these historic cars in great condition. It takes so much money and time, on top of being an "enthusiast". Keep it going lads
This era of car history is/was so cool. Visited Aus (Sydney and Melbourne) back in 2017.... Cannot believe I never got the opportunity to experience the car culture during that visit. Biggest regret 😢
I’m from the Uk and we’ve had these cars since the 90’s unlike the US who have only recently seen these on their shores they are also responsible for the crazy price hike, which for a skyline owner ain’t too bad but what Australia has done for this brand is immense you guys are the leaders in tuning and owning GTRs salute
There is another N1 in the Nissan range was the JN15 Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1. Which is another rare collection. Surprise, surprise Australia has a few of them.
Won a drag day with a friend's N1 r33 broke the 3rd gear in 2nd rece then went on to win fastest time for the day. 9 second quarter miles on standard fuel. What a beast.
I actually got taken around mt panorama in the r32 n1 when we had 3 N1 gtrs together for the first time almost ever. It was such a unbelievable experience
came outa school turning my nose up at the cheap GTST versions that you could pick up for less than $20k well flogged. the real skylines were the GTRs that commanded $30k - $40k you just couldn't afford
I've known about these for years, admittedly only because there was an in depth feature on 'em in a local New Zealand car magazine. I never knew about the rear windscreen, thanks!
This was an incredible car collection to see, thank you for the guys who provided Larry with the set to film, learned a lot. Australian car culture is so under rated to the JDM car scene.
I thought i was a gtr nerd, my dad owned a 280z and my mom had a 510, so inherently i grew to love the skyline as the top dog, I thought even knowing about the rare z tunes that were bought back, but i never even heard of n1, this collection is more interesting/impressive than any super car collector, nissan for life🤟🏼 also the word nissan means 23 in japanese, which is the number they used as their first race car
Just when you think you have "heard" about all of the GT-R models out there .....😅 super informative and awesome footage either way Larry . Thank you for the excellent content, per usual.
Such a cool video mate. I have been following Motive since they made dvd's and own many of them. The history in Australia they have been amongst it all. Its amazing how big GTR's are becoming huge in the states these days. In the first first fast n furious movie the yellow R33gtr was my favourite. Having modified and owned many gtst and gtt I never had the cash free to get a gtr at the time. We call the R33 'A boat' in Australia. We just love them. When you get time checkout Gibson Motorsport and do a video on them. Your viewers will love it. Enjoying watching from Australia.
Best-R in Japan had one with 10km on the clock. I almost fell over when I realised what I was looking at. Also worth noting that the parcel shelf is different on the N1 with no speaker cut outs or wiper assembly/surround.
The rear spats on the 32 are the most attractive visual cue on the N1. It flows the skirts perfectly and everyone has the skirts but nobody has the spats. No idea why theirs repros of all the aero but the spats from Nissan.
@@bnr_jan I just replaced my n1 skirts with new ones and bought a set of spats for the new paint job on mine. Just couldn’t believe how expensive spats are lol
Imagine still being around in a time where manufacturers were over engineering absolute monsters like this, no expense spared absolute bomb proof rockets, Japan truly knew what the fuck was going on back in the 80s/90s, really impressive to see
I believe that Jason and John White won the 2005 Targa Tasmania in an R34 GT-R N1 (had the carbon bonnet). That was the first time that I'd heard of an N1.
They had 2 of them other used to follow around in case other broke to pinch parts off and tow spare back that thing was a piece of art insane bit of gear
JAF N1/N2/N3 are regulations valid in Japan used in national/domestic race events. These regulations can be found on Japan Automobile Federation web for 2022 or in "Yellow Book" called JAF Domestic Competition Vehicle Regulations. These are issued every year. Each year there are some changes for example until 1990 side exhausts were allowed (1990 300km Sendai Hi-land #26 Diesel Kiki GTR), until 1992 side mirrors could be replaced, 1993 air-jack systems could be installed and so on.
BooM Some one please drop the mic! I'll never get to see these gems in the flesh so... TY LC and to all involved (Especially the owner) to show us this amazing bit of car history and culture.
Always loved the N1's! They have all the nice parts that nissan could offer. My '95 R33 GTR V-spec is quite special aswell. Not because it is spark silver, or because it's a januari 1995 S1 But because it came with a passenger airbag from the factory (wich is really hard to find on 95's but became standard on S2 96 models) and it doesn't have the rear wiper, also from the factory.😊 i went through the register and from memory there are like 2 or 3 of them made this way in this exact spec. I had no idea when i bought it in 2010.😂 and i don't know if the others still excist today.
The N1 engine (so the story goes), was asked by Gibson Motorsport in the 1990's to be built, as the torque produced would crack the block from the longitudal twist produced, cracking at the turbo drain point, along with other improvements that Gibson Motorsport had worked out/ broke engines because of etc. The Japanese could never build the cars like Gibson Motorsport could- and they wanted to know how his team did it
Unbelievable content Larry! I honestly thought I'd heard of all the trims/variants of the R32, R33 and R34 but this just really opened my eyes! If I was only like 5 yrs older I coulda afforded least something like Supra, S15, R33 especially here in Canada even 10yrs ago. I thought I'd get a Toyota Chaser 1JZ but they've doubled or more in a lot of cases in just the last few yrs. But no gf, cheap rent, decent job been at over 5 yrs now. I'm going to own something awesome an Japanese within the next few yrs if I die trying after 9 yrs driving a car accident just over 2 yrs ago broke my C6 in my neck and smashed my right hand. Just glad I can still drive! Finally got a bigger safer mint Dodge only 145k kms Journey R/T for abit more car than my 02 Toyota Matrix even it being an amazing little car. They wanted to rebreak it after idiot cast it wrong oh and they sent me home after x-rays were "read" no breaks called about 14 hrs later almost 10pm gave me an all plastic brace and said take off anytime and w.e. It was that doctor from emergency saying I'm so so so sorry we just looked at x-rays "again" before leaving and your neck is broken put brace on and wait 5 days to see neurosurgeon. They were freaking when I walked in to see this brace used to get you stable to hospital changed to a real cervical brace, seen neurologist and she was in shock just kept saying they didn't see it and told you it's not broke and didn't have you get back asap for the correct brace. Then opens x-rays less then 20 seconds from 8/10 angles she pointed the break out and believed they never looked when sending me home also so thankfully I didn't need the halo rods like they wanted and then my hand same place emerge put cast on palm and my index and middle finger as index was not attached. It was a cast worked fine for me two weeks then go see the "specialist" lmao they took x-rays while the young girl made comments on my cast saying it's pretty ugly, where you get it done? Said here. She goes no way who did it? I dunno was a little out of it girl didn't catch his name. They cut that cast working perfectly off. Then he put a fibreglass one on not plaster okay cool. Well he didn't wrap my fingers AT ALL. I even said don't those need support nope they'll be good. Two weeks check up cut cast says make a fist and my index now fully healed was going on top of my middle finger LMFAO it healed on like a 45° angle cause of this goof. He looked like oh shit fuck me um I have some bad news oh really? He then had me to another 2 hr total drive besides waiting to see the surgeon did x-ray and said why ru here? I'm like what? He said why weren't you here 3 months ago or w.e? So I explain he said well it's healed now we have to fully break it, put screws and if room a plate in it. I said no you're not 😊 they were like well it hardly ever works but you can try self therapy aka just try using it and working my hand out thankfully from yrs before had putty made for it in different strengths well I dunno if shear will and determination. But two days before I went to see them again I made a first a normal like I moved my finger back freaking I went to my mom to ask if that's real lol she's in shock too it's like nothing happened but my knuckle is a little tiny bit low but works great thank the Lord. I go back they take new X-rays and before the doctor spoke looking at two x-ray side by side one looks smashed the other to me looked perfect and I said that's not the new x-ray on the right is it? He said yes...I said omg it looks good doesn't it? He took a second more and came to shake my hand and say he doesn't know how but I did what 99% of ppl don't have the determination to do, congratulations. But seeing as it was healed he said if it ever bothers me he can always do it for me any time in future but two yrs in and it's working great and my back 🙏🏼 So yeah I'm an Enduro/Dirt Bike guy only for now until I know I'm ready for a street bike when cars did almost kill me but also saved me and I believe wouldn't of happened if on a bike as a transport cut me off at 60km him not moving almost dark he had no lights at all on just moving from motel to gasbar 50ft yeah I woulda taken the oncoming center or the right hand shoulder but my old Matrix no abs nothing they thought it was a fatal when ambulance got there in less then 5 being dispatch 3 km away thankfully.
I didn't expect it to be so long just get typing you know lol Genuinely sorry. But yeah short of it I broke my neck and my hand bad and hospital *most is free in Canada but I'd rather pay to get even half decent health care hahah main point tho is I love the JZX100 Chaser and lots of better looking coupes just thought it'd be fun to have room for a trip, dogs, and friend's!
Also I'm sure you're both more knowledgeable than myself would you get a good spec Mitsubishi Evo Wagon or a Nissan Stagea?? Thanks sorry, wasn't trying to waste anyone's time lol just love cares and have just got the SUV for a daily finally with insurance screwing me so any info for a reliable and good power JDM I'm all ears or not. But yeah sorry just got excited finally able to save up for a car as SUV is paid and would appreciate any suggestions for just a fun daily, reliable, can make good power w.e you think. Thanks everyone and again sorry for the book lol
The R32 Vspec ll was one of my all time favorite model I that tuned and raced when Gran Turismo first launched in 97’. Nissan does a lot of testing in the Nurburing race track, chances that N1 might stand for the tuning for that specific track, just one of my guessing.
I can tell you that Nissan Motorsport does use secret sauce My Stanza rally car used works brakes rear axle assembly steering gear etc and for instance the steering gear looks stock but is made from some very special steels, Brake disks on later models like Skylines were made by AP racing but Nissan supplied the billets that were used to manufacture the Brake disks when AP racing manufactured them. The works Struts I ran had very special front hub bearings that had etched markings on the bearings not stamped like normal bearings and were designed to be run at 110 NM of preload certainly not your average tapered wheel bearings those ones. The Rear axle bearings were specials basically like double sided Front inner bearings in a common one piece housing again etched numbers and the bearing retainers were twice as long as normal bearing retainers, The Differential housings Live Axle H 190 had baffle plates to keep diff oil from running away into the outside of the axle housings in long high G turns the Axle tube sections of the Diff housings had 3.5 mm steel machined sleeves pressed into the Differential tube sections all to strengthen for rally use. Diff centres were also specials and crown wheels and pinions also were specials and better than sports option parts. Alternators were specials, Turbo models are also custom hand built special Turbos such as the Bluebird Turbos made for the Safari rally in Kenya and with a life expectancy of one year of competition use. Going back to the early Nissan KP 710 rally cars they used special quite heavy siamese blocks , The Nissan FIA SOHC Cylinder heads used on the L series four cylinders are also quite special the rocker arm adjusters are a finer thread than production models for easier closer tolerance valve clearance adjustments, Nissan really did make some very special components for use by the Factory Teams across the world. I also had something that Nissan themselves do not have in their factory Race and rally Car Museum in Japan since sold and that was a Nissan PB210, Looks like a 120Y four door with an LJ torana style longer nose but with an LZtTwin cam engine at 1595 cc with up to 230 Hp depending on what events they were used in based on the Nissan LZ 14 Formula Pacific engines and that particular car was driven by Factory Nissan driver Sheka Mehta from Kenya in the Australian Southern Cross rally based out of Port Macquarie. So because so much of the gear used in my Cars was used by the actual Factory teams and supplied by Nissan Motorsport Australia when run by Howard Marsden and my later purchase of a Stanza Liftback Coupe was from Geroge Fury as it was his personal car and prior to that was Howards personal car when at Rallies around the country I had some useful contacts to obtain the right parts literally as used by the Factory team itself. I suppose it is like the Holden Motorsport Cars where things like on the line the body shells used for racing teams had twice as many spot welds in certain places compared to normal road cars actually done on the production line. I still have for instance the full factory build manuals for the Escort BDA MK 2 rally cars as back in the Day when Colin Bond ran the Cars I was involved in escort rally cars also, And every factory has some sort of "Secret sauce" I have been lucky enough to be privy to some of that insider information
Not too confusing. They are race spec versions of the consumer cars. I remember Mitsubishi making a version of the evo 8 that had no at, no radio, crank windows... you don't hear much about that car either. They're just rare so most people never hear about them. I'm sure there are more cars that have a stripped down model that was meant to be a racecar for the street.
That's a Nismo after production vehicle. Not a factory car from "Nissan" itself. Still rare nonetheless. However N1s were used as a platform for track applications, much like the Evo RS, so who knows where most of them ended up.
@@stinkypete2327 really cause the R tunes come with all the N1 stuff from what I understand and they are all done “aftermarket” I think you are right but done by Nissan and NISMO at the Okami factory? Let me know if I’m wrong about that pleasr
@@mattkramer8426 No, R tunes came with Nismo body kits not the factory N1 kits. Nismo is it's own entity but still a subsidiary brand of Nissan. Nismo also do all the work at the Omori Factroy in Yokohama.
That is the type of show that would damage me is such a good way. One of my all time favorite production vehicles is the 34. I would drive either all day long.

@@Sunburnae92 Pretty much. Look up the old Group N specs. If I remember ECU and suspension was free as was cooling systems and safety cage etc. These are rare because they were built in limited numbers and most were used in racing so to find an original N1 for the street is pretty rare.
That’s pretty much what he said in the video
@@piefliesdid you learn nothing in addition from this post ?
The N1 was also painted this shade of white as it was the lightest paint (least amount of coats) available for the cars
Nissan was playing 4D chess way back when 😂😂
Mitsubishi Evo RS comes to mind. They do the same thing
The difference in materials used (aluminium, steel, composites) led to the white paint discolouring at different rates, so they need painting sooner.
someone around has a special ordered one in bl0
White is the lightest and cheapest color. Worked out great for nissan....
The automotive history being recorded by Larry is an honour to experience in real time.. Thank you Larry.
Wow Larry such epic footage! So cool to film and be a part of the GTR scene in Australia. Thanks for the amazing video 🔥
Hats off to those who keep these historic cars in great condition. It takes so much money and time, on top of being an "enthusiast". Keep it going lads
This era of car history is/was so cool.
Visited Aus (Sydney and Melbourne) back in 2017.... Cannot believe I never got the opportunity to experience the car culture during that visit. Biggest regret 😢
A few of these dealers didn't know what they had. When the R32 first came over, Japanese Car Classic sold a few N1's for 50-60k 😂😂😂
Shout out to Mine's. Yashio Factory, RWB, Mine's, Top Secret...there's so many amazing boutique garages from Japan.

Yeah we hate it too I’m sorry my guy but I agree bro the Aussies know got to get down with any combustion engine 😂🤟🏼
I’ve always preferred the 33 to the 34, but hot damn that 34 with the black nismo wheels might be one of the prettiest cars I’ve ever see
@1:00 Love how you put Eddy Wally in to your video, he's a legend.
There is another N1 in the Nissan range was the JN15 Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1. Which is another rare collection. Surprise, surprise Australia has a few of them.

@@izzy031096 the 32 was the best 👍
Turns out the Super Taikyu series was previously called the Super N1 Taikyu Series, so that is probably where it's from.
N1 is for group N racing locally in Japan. It's basically group A, with same tuning allowances but different racing style
I've known about these for years, admittedly only because there was an in depth feature on 'em in a local New Zealand car magazine. I never knew about the rear windscreen, thanks!

I've seen an N1 S13 in Japan.... I have pictures of it from Miracle XBar.... At least the S13 was stripped and added rigidity via welds.
LMAO the Wayne's World refernce. Spot on.
8:46
I always assumed "N1" was derived from the N1 Endurance Championship in Japan that has since been renamed Super Taikyu.
so its like the stripped out version like the the Lancer evolution RS. its comes with a steel rims from factory. or a porsche carrera RS
What an amazing video! Gotta love Andrew! Thanks for the detailed video, Larry!

I have a love hate relationship with these cars. I had a R33 GTST that i loved. Homeland security confinscated it. Still makes me sad 10 years later.
Why was your car such a menace? 😂😂
Wonder if we can find a Japanese worker mech etc… that knew more about these N1
Beautiful collection

I go back they take new X-rays and before the doctor spoke looking at two x-ray side by side one looks smashed the other to me looked perfect and I said that's not the new x-ray on the right is it? He said yes...I said omg it looks good doesn't it? He took a second more and came to shake my hand and say he doesn't know how but I did what 99% of ppl don't have the determination to do, congratulations. But seeing as it was healed he said if it ever bothers me he can always do it for me any time in future but two yrs in and it's working great and my back 🙏🏼 So yeah I'm an Enduro/Dirt Bike guy only for now until I know I'm ready for a street bike when cars did almost kill me but also saved me and I believe wouldn't of happened if on a bike as a transport cut me off at 60km him not moving almost dark he had no lights at all on just moving from motel to gasbar 50ft yeah I woulda taken the oncoming center or the right hand shoulder but my old Matrix no abs nothing they thought it was a fatal when ambulance got there in less then 5 being dispatch 3 km away thankfully.

But yeah sorry just got excited finally able to save up for a car as SUV is paid and would appreciate any suggestions for just a fun daily, reliable, can make good power w.e you think. Thanks everyone and again sorry for the book lol
The R32 Vspec ll was one of my all time favorite model I that tuned and raced when Gran Turismo first launched in 97’. Nissan does a lot of testing in the Nurburing race track, chances that N1 might stand for the tuning for that specific track, just one of my guessing.
The 34 was sold in Nür spec. Don't know the details though.
Hey Matt where did you bought your all season trunk mat
Not mentioned here, but I'm pretty sure the coat of painter is thinner, than a standard GTR, to save weight
I can tell you that Nissan Motorsport does use secret sauce My Stanza rally car used works brakes rear axle assembly steering gear etc and for instance the steering gear looks stock but is made from some very special steels, Brake disks on later models like Skylines were made by AP racing but Nissan supplied the billets that were used to manufacture the Brake disks when AP racing manufactured them.
The works Struts I ran had very special front hub bearings that had etched markings on the bearings not stamped like normal bearings and were designed to be run at 110 NM of preload certainly not your average tapered wheel bearings those ones.
The Rear axle bearings were specials basically like double sided Front inner bearings in a common one piece housing again etched numbers and the bearing retainers were twice as long as normal bearing retainers, The Differential housings Live Axle H 190 had baffle plates to keep diff oil from running away into the outside of the axle housings in long high G turns the Axle tube sections of the Diff housings had 3.5 mm steel machined sleeves pressed into the Differential tube sections all to strengthen for rally use.
Diff centres were also specials and crown wheels and pinions also were specials and better than sports option parts.
Alternators were specials, Turbo models are also custom hand built special Turbos such as the Bluebird Turbos made for the Safari rally in Kenya and with a life expectancy of one year of competition use.
Going back to the early Nissan KP 710 rally cars they used special quite heavy siamese blocks , The Nissan FIA SOHC Cylinder heads used on the L series four cylinders are also quite special the rocker arm adjusters are a finer thread than production models for easier closer tolerance valve clearance adjustments, Nissan really did make some very special components for use by the Factory Teams across the world.
I also had something that Nissan themselves do not have in their factory Race and rally Car Museum in Japan since sold and that was a Nissan PB210, Looks like a 120Y four door with an LJ torana style longer nose but with an LZtTwin cam engine at 1595 cc with up to 230 Hp depending on what events they were used in based on the Nissan LZ 14 Formula Pacific engines and that particular car was driven by Factory Nissan driver Sheka Mehta from Kenya in the Australian Southern Cross rally based out of Port Macquarie.
So because so much of the gear used in my Cars was used by the actual Factory teams and supplied by Nissan Motorsport Australia when run by Howard Marsden and my later purchase of a Stanza Liftback Coupe was from Geroge Fury as it was his personal car and prior to that was Howards personal car when at Rallies around the country I had some useful contacts to obtain the right parts literally as used by the Factory team itself.
I suppose it is like the Holden Motorsport Cars where things like on the line the body shells used for racing teams had twice as many spot welds in certain places compared to normal road cars actually done on the production line.
I still have for instance the full factory build manuals for the Escort BDA MK 2 rally cars as back in the Day when Colin Bond ran the Cars I was involved in escort rally cars also, And every factory has some sort of "Secret sauce" I have been lucky enough to be privy to some of that insider information
Thanks, very interesting. I'd heard of N1's but I was completely ignorant to any of the story. 👍
These N1 is all freaking confusing
Not too confusing. They are race spec versions of the consumer cars. I remember Mitsubishi making a version of the evo 8 that had no at, no radio, crank windows... you don't hear much about that car either. They're just rare so most people never hear about them. I'm sure there are more cars that have a stripped down model that was meant to be a racecar for the street.
@@brandondeel3567not only evo 8, all evos had an RS Version except for the x
Yeah if I had the chance , I’d just get a 400R instead
Oh there were actually an RS version for X. My bad 😅
@@vetlogmobaho703And Suby’s had RA versions with no AC, lighter body etc
Hey I've seen that guy on Mighty Car Mods!!! Hell yeah!
What I read years back is the N1 is Nissan group"A" racing block, for the group"A" racing series back in the day,kiwi likes 👌
Super cool. I'd like to see a reaction/comment video from Tommy on this.
Aussies really love their Gee Dee Ahs... 😁😎🤟
Do a Thailand series
Thanks for the knowledge
this is a special video, well done!
Sick!
For anyone wondering where the "N1" name came from it's Group N racing. Think Group A but way less modified.
Mind blowing!!!
Alan Heaphy is just a genuine legend. I have very fond memories of hearing him tell stories over the years.
Such a great opportunity ❤ Love the history!
Missing the one of one N1 R1 though haha. That just changed hands and is in Sydney.
What about the R34 VSPEC 2 NUR R TUNES? Where do they rank compared to these R34 N1?
That's a Nismo after production vehicle. Not a factory car from "Nissan" itself. Still rare nonetheless. However N1s were used as a platform for track applications, much like the Evo RS, so who knows where most of them ended up.
@@stinkypete2327 really cause the R tunes come with all the N1 stuff from what I understand and they are all done “aftermarket” I think you are right but done by Nissan and NISMO at the Okami factory? Let me know if I’m wrong about that pleasr
@@mattkramer8426 No, R tunes came with Nismo body kits not the factory N1 kits. Nismo is it's own entity but still a subsidiary brand of Nissan. Nismo also do all the work at the Omori Factroy in Yokohama.
Im not drooling.. your drooling!
So cool! Id never heard of the n1's!
The Ausies having all these GTR's is criminal
How so?
@@satchguy It was a joke not to be over analyzed
Great video and happy belated birthday 🎉
Thank you!! 😊
How many times did they say N1?
ANDREW FIGJAM HAWKINS 😂
that old logo engine ornament is an aftermarket piece. Not a genuine made. But still looks cool
Another epic video. Thanks bro.
i love how andrew goes 10 years ago in 2002 hahaha
I drove N1 GTR 34 once in Gran Turismo 4🥰
Thumbnail picture looks straight out of Gran Turismo 7!
That is the type of show that would damage me is such a good way. One of my all time favorite production vehicles is the 34. I would drive either all day long.
seeing eddy wally in a larry chen video . wauw , rofll
So cool. Incredible collection
I will return to watch this video is somebody tells me how these are more rare than a Nismo 400R
Because it's a factory Nissan production car. Not a post production car that's modified by the likes of Nismo who are a subsidiary company of Nissan.
N1 cars were made for super taikyu n1 race series
He's explaining this like everyone knows. Why is the headlight worth more than some of the cars? What's different about them?
The R34 is such an awesome car.
How much for one car?
im drooling
This is great stuff. Is there a Z-Tune at the GT-R Festival?
Two of them in 2019 th-cam.com/video/4_anbizdH4k/w-d-xo.html
The Holy Grail of Motorsports!!! 😍😍😍😍😍💥👌🏻🤙🏻
