That car is awesome. The level of detail is amazing for a 20 year old car .Looks like it just rolled of the line.Love it

:action-smiley-069: :action-smiley-069: :action-smiley-069:

Appreciate you kind words.........

I can assure you that a lot of elbow grease went into making it look as it does but it's certainly worth it.

Cheers,

Bob.

I had a fabulous time at the Legends dinner last night and probably drove Fred Gibson cuckoo with questions! :worship: :worship: :worship:

Anyway, what I did find very interesting is that he confirmed that very early in the piece, they totally stripped 3 ADM cars for race cars.

He went on to say that the road going components were sold off to a Victorian wrecking yard. After that, ( by mid/late 1991) they had rolling shells to work with.

Unfortunately, the GIO car got about $12K's worth of battle scars at a recent outing.. OUCH!

Cheers,

Bob.

Looks like a great event .Wouldve been awesome to see the GIO race car in real life even though its not in the best condition at the moment .I love there trailer wouldnt mind one of those haha .So Bob is that another one to be added to the list ?

lucky bob - i unfortunately missed again this year due to other commitments (same thing happened last year).

those pics with fred & jim next to your car is worth framing!

what happened to the gio gtr, how did he lose control? looks like a complete animal with battle marks on it

another great find bob!

i ordered the godzilla book from pitstop, there is a backlog but should expect a copy within 2 weeks as they asked "is this is a xmas present?"...well...it is so im not lying :rolleyes:

does anybody know what this plate is for?

i am referring to the blue compliance plate which sits directly above the engine cover, on the firewall.

i dont have this on my adm & ive never seen it on any other adm gtr...just curious?

Yep........ Looks like you are correct.

I'm surprised the Ex-Packer car hasn't sold. I bet you it's next..........

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
