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?

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
