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.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
