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?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
