out of curiousity what does N1 stand for? there is apex n1 exhaust, spoon n1, 5zigen ni, apex n1 dampers...

so what does n1 mean?

 

N1 is a class of racing in japan.

 

yep

 

and 1


call me the calculator....cause when we down on the scoreboard, u can count on me!

 

Nippon 1st division?

 

what kind of cars?

 

I beleive that the cars that are used range from Supras, Skylines, RX-7's, and others. Just look at your GT1, GT2, and GT3 (if you have it) and look at the Japanese race cara on there and that with give you a idea.

 

cool thanks, thats what i though...

so thats where the n1 style exhausts came from?

 

Think "DTM" from Europe, same thing ......

 

DTM is alot like N1 but abit of difference in specs and type of cars that can run..also aero packages. DTM cars remind me abit of the transam cars which are also widen abit to be more aerodynamic to the opposing wind and track better through turns.

I hope Transam changes there rules soon so we can see more car like race cars that look like the car you can buy.

 

I was simply using it as a reference.

All the European cars get "DTM" exhausts, and people think of it as a manufacturer, when it is really a race series division, much like the "N1" name.

 

The 'N' is derived from the word 'Endurance'.

N1 is a class of endurance race held in Japan.

 

Talking of N1, does anyone have any pics of the Castrol N1 ITR which raced around 95-96 that they could share with me????

I have a decal sheet for a 1:24 model but it doesn't come with instructions on where to put them.

I've searched everywhere but haven't found anything, please help me.

how come all DTM race cars need dtm exhaust and all n1's need n1 exhausts?

 

AFAIK, N1 is derived from the old FIA "Group N", which is basically a near-stock class for saloon car racing and rallying.

So in Japan, they have N1, which is kinda like Improved Touring, I guess, and N2, which is a lot, lot wilder, big wings, flared arches, huge wheels, CF panels, etc. So N1 is kinda more relavent to road cars.
