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.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
