So in 5 years, the value has doubled.

Sums insured for a nice R32 GT-R V-Spec N1 will be over $90,000 this year.

R32 GT-R N1s in good condition command a Sum Insured value of 105K as of early 2016.

For those who are interested...

My R34 GT-R V-Spec N1 VIN# + MODEL# + other data have been decoded and...

* It's the 1st N1 made after a pre-production run of 6

* Essentially, it's the 7th therefore made by Nissan

* Nissan never did end up making 45 V-Spec N1s. There are less.

* Many thanks to my friends who have put time into this research - which is like pulling teeth.

I for one, would like to see if the N. Americans lock onto the ADMs in due course!

i dont think there is an appetite for the ADM outside of Aust personally - it really means nothing to the non Australian - then again, they may see the relationship between the ADM and the ATCC series (winfield/gio gtr)

Wow, just wow. Terry your collection is so amazingly drool worthy. Enjoy it ! I still have close to a decade before I'm able to trade up from my 32. As for the ADM cars appealing to North Americans, you'd think it'd be the Australians gobbling them up, but there is an incredible desire for anything "different" or "individual" here, as soon as they are labeled Rare, watch the buying frenzy. Just for comparison, I paid 21,000 USD for my 90 GTR, with 68000kms (Shokan verified). That was 4 months ago. I've been offered 30,000 numerous times now. The prices are still increasing.

I recently imported a 1997 40th anniversary model R33 Turbo it's got the "smart" ignition coils not above the engine but near firewall. Ceramic compressor, pistol grip gear nob / overdrive,radio/cassette player, R34 standard rims, sway bar in boot,custom badged interior def quite a few differences to a usual R33. The ignition coils were the most significant change I can see.

No idea how many were made, prob not as rare as GTR models.

This sounds interesting. Got pictures?

When did you get the 33 Terry?

Ta....... Bob.

Iron Chef brought this in last month Bob.

They had it visually inspected under and over before auction. It's the first rust free example they've seen for a while and Troy was very pleased.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
