Intel HD 4600 with native screen resolution and GFX acceleration.I replaced the AR9485 with the BCM94352 a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5Ghz Wifi 2x2x2 Mimo -> needed to get WLAN working and after all, 2.4Ghz + 802.11n sucks when you try 802.11ac + 5Ghz.I replaced the optical drive with an SSD (Crucial M550 512Gb).WLAN + Bluetooth : Qualcomm AR9485 b/g/n 1x1x1 Mimo (HalfMiniPCIe) + AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 (USB interface).This work is dirty but I hope it will help you to get Sierra running on the N550JV.

You just have to install the updated versions of BrcmPatchRam and VoodooHDA in /S/L/E to have Bluetooth and Audio. I have no time to explain the steps to make it work but you can find the clover folder I used to run 10.12.6 right here. I fixed QE/CI, touchpad and wireless, but I still miss the TouchBar.
After some ajustements, it worked and I'm now running my MacBook image on the N550JV. And I decided to try to boot my Time Machine backup on my N550JV. That's why I told the vendor that I have no choice but returning to Hackintosh to be able to work. The warranty will take the motherboard replacement fees, but my MacBook won't be available during 6 or 7 days : what a loss of income ! But Apple seems to considerate that paying a product 3000€ is not enough to get a free replacement device ASAP when a failure happens. Student, but also freelance web developper, I need my (working) laptop everyday.
However, since Apple hardware seems to be buggy sometimes (or bad luck ?), my MacBook Pro motherboard died after only 3 months. In June 2017 I finally cross the line and I bought the MacBook Pro 14,3 dropping my N550JV, that's why I'm not gonna help you with Sierra. I'd been working on this computer since of the beginning of 2014 and I can say that OS X is pretty stable on it with El Capitan 10.11.4
