Just was browsing carsales for the hell of it and came across a REALLY CHEAP suposedly Australian delivered one. I have no way to verify this and have no money to buy it with but I am putting it up here as it was poorly listed on carsales and is at a price point that any hoon might just buy it and not really value or respect it. Unfortunately it is modified but looks as the it would not be too much work to return it to stock. It is BLACK, 1991 and 5931703.

I do not know the seller or no anything about this car then whats written on its add. I actually only just joined this site as it was on the top of this list when I searched australian delivered GTR on google as I was outraged when I saw the silly wing on it and hoped I would find some people who would buy and restore it as it is too rare (if a real one) to be pumped full of boost and painted hot pink by some hoon as at $23000 it is inside a hoons price range.

Thx for your time

This car has been for sale for quite a while. I first made contact with the owner back in February.

He promised to send me photos....... never did.

He promised to ring me back.......never did.

Once I asked whether it had matching numbers he seemed to lose interest.

I can only presume it's either got a non-original engine, useless to the collector. Or it was effected by the Queensland floods as the communication ceased at about that point.

If you threw $15K at it you may end up with something reasonable but considering it's been on and off for sale for about 8 months I think it's been tarnished.

Good luck to anyone who buys it though, it may be a legitimate bargain but I doubt it.

Cool, thx for the info. Good to know/Not be worried about anymore.

going off the pic of the rear end, and the reverse lights being up top, it looks like an Aus version to me.

Obvioulsy this can be changed, but why would you??

That aside, looks a bit too modded from a collectors point of view.

But then again, how many old muscle cars do you see which are "collectors" car, and barely an inch of it is original.

At the moment the clean original GTR's are the collectable ones but down the track i think extremey well modded and well looked after cars will be just as sought after as the stockies.

Even with it being modified, and badly at that, its too cheap to be sitting on carsales for the length of time that it has for my mind. There must be a reason.

The front grille is as wrong as the T wing ont he back. Blech.

alarm bells are ringing here!

tbh it looks very messy & there is nothing authentic about it...might as well cut the bonnet & fit an old school supercharger on it lol

no matching numbers, no interior pics, paint doesn't look original etc - is it worth 23k even? this gtr has not had anymore respect than a typical import

Also the rear number plate bumper insert thingy!

Absolutely Immaculate Condition, one of the best original Australian GTR's on the market

???

If its a matching numbers car it may have something going for it. If not and you want a GTR, then look at the imports. I can't believe the GTR's you can buy for little money these days.

these ADM GTR's are becoming icons like the classic aussie muscle cars with matching no's etc...fastidious owners such as us have set a new benchmark :)

put it this way, if that black gtr was that good an example i'd buy it with no hesitation - restore & sell it for profit (however, instinct tells me not to go near it). good cars always sell fast!

Another external feature of the ADM cars is the high mount stop light resting on the rear screen and front number plate bracket. We also got flat glass on our side mirrors.

Not that you can tell but the rear muffler is also different... (for the few that still have the original exhaust).

One other thing that has bugged me for a while............I don't want to burst anyones bubble here but one wives tale that's been getting some air time is the seats.

A few claim that the ADM cars got wider seats for our fat @rses...... That is simply not true. They are identical to the JDM cars.

Internally, we got the 260kph speedo, upgraded premium stereo system, dashboard dimmer switch, reinforcer on glove box door and cloth headliner. We also got different sun visors and different rear parcel shelf, equipped to take child anchorage bolts etc.

There you go.... A bit more useless trivia for you.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
