Hello,
Do you have a mass entry for the N2 nitrogen in the topology file
corresponding to the one listed in your pdb file?
The structure of the topology file you listed below is not standard and
may be another source of your troubles. The residue keyword should be
directly before the group keyword, at least that is how it is found
throughout all the topology files that I have seen, but my experience is
limited.
Futhermore, it is helpful (if not required) to have the residue definition
in the topology file follow the same order as the the atoms in the pdb
file you are reading from.
Just my .02
