The ADM GTR's were the only Skyline GTR's to ever be exported to another country by Nissan, this is one of the biggest attractions for me, this with the fact that the ADM cars are the rarest R32 GTR ever made.

Seems so many people forget about Middlehurst Nissan in UK bringing in 100 R33 GTR's (From memory all 1998 models but may be wrong) and selling them officially.

They were so loved, that the R34 GTR was also imported (100) and sold there when the R34 was released. If memory serves, UK models had leather interior and the upgraded MFD software

Don't think you've added it.

RE modifying - Bob, totally agree a stocker will be of higher value and desirability to a collector, but as an owner who is unlikely to sell the car, I'm pretty comfortable 'modifying' to suit my tastes. Further, great comments and insight into the car collecting scene. If I ever have money one day, that'd be a perfectly happy hobby for me :D

Thinking of putting some Fast&Furious decals down the side of it. Thoughts? ;)

Sorry Marcus – your black gtr is now added to the list. We are up to 57 cars...I wonder if we will get to the 67 mark as only 67 were kept in the country

Hi everyone, just came across this forum and was wondering if anyone could help me source a pair of ADM tailights and number plate surround...long story short I have had the car in storage for a while at a "friends" shop and someone has taking a liking to my tailights and swapped them over with a jap pair, i only noticed it this morning when i decided to get the car out and enjoy the nice weather that is coming up.. Is it possible for me to source a set of aussie ones ? I'll post details of my car shortly... thx

RE Tail lights: Nissan Aust may still have a few pairs left, but I doubt it

Rear number plate surround - Nissan Aust ran out of stock years ago. Like i said in an earlier post, if anyone wants to get a fibreglass mould made and get some replicas made up, I'd be in for one. My surround is a bit bent, so probably isn't best to mould off. Would be ideal if anyone is getting the rear bar painted; get the mould made at the same time.

God help the imbecile that ever rear ends me!

Thx folks, I'll call the dealer Monday and find out if i can chase any down.. was very peed off about the number plate surround and didn't notice the lights initially till i was going over it with the chamois.. :angry:

Looking at it again tonight and was wondering surely Nissan Australia didn't source a whole new tail light, so worse case could the JDM light be modified? and was the number plate surround a common part with any other car or where they made just for our cars?

Hope I'm not reading to far into it and but worst case how can I go about getting it back to original..

I've been trying to get someone to help out with making a mould of one for years.

i never really felt like this about my car but i am beginning to feel like 1 of those aussie muscle car owners "dont touch the car, dont even lean on it" haha

its becoming ridiculously risky to take the car out, but im of the opinion that i'd rather enjoy it than the next person should i decide to sell

Are you f'n kidding.

Your freind thought it was acceptable for someone else to take your car's parts?? Ask him who he gave them to!

I never drove mine much. In the first 5 years it only did 26,000km. In the last 3 it has just been stored in my garage with a couple of drives around the block each year.

i agree - i thought frost was very calm & relaxed about it as well (all credit to him for remaining composed)...me on the other hand - i'd be ROPEABLE if parts were taken off my gtr, let alone ADM parts

Another black ADM has been added to the list :)

brilliant find bob!

this car is now confirmed, i think i explained earlier in the piece that my brother in law is 1 of the 2 private chauffeurs for james packer & when i spoke to him about his past gtr's...this was 1 of them which was also added to the list quite some time ago:

4. Kerry Packer's GTR (#015994), he gave to his helicopter pilot who saved his life after heart attack (Nick Ross), heavily modified

i will add that it was a build no. 12 & the liver transplant as well :)

nick must have had the utmost respect for kerry to donate his liver - can anyone here imagine donating an organ to their boss? i certainly cant!

I'd like to remove my boss's liver............. with a Stanley knife and no anesthetic!

    • 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.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
