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?

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
