In this Larry Chen video, we delve into the captivating tale of the N1 series 1 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR, a rare gem showcased at the 2024 SEMA Booth. Chen's decision to exhibit this beauty stemmed from a shipping mishap that diverted his R34 GTR, leading to the unveiling of the N1's racing origins. With only 55 units produced in its generation, the N1 stands out as a stripped-down, track-focused machine, capturing Chen's Nissan enthusiast heart.
Chen's journey with this N1 began in the UK, where he stumbled upon it in a sorry state, igniting a vision of a 400R tribute build. Over 15 years, he meticulously collected parts, crafting a powerhouse with a forged 2.6L engine churning out a staggering 750 wheel horsepower. The inclusion of special 400R components like the carbon fiber hood and Strat Tower brace adds a touch of exclusivity to this already rare find.
The restoration of the N1 extends beyond performance upgrades, with Chen sparing no detail in outfitting the interior with original 400R seats, steering wheel, and Nismo logo floor mats. This meticulous attention to authenticity underscores Chen's dedication to preserving the legacy of these iconic vehicles, especially as they garner international acclaim. The N1's unique history and Chen's passion for Nissan GTRs culminate in a showcase at the upcoming GTR Festival, where this masterpiece will undoubtedly turn heads and reignite admiration for these JDM legends.
