ant - it is registered in qld so you might be right

bob - why would an aust delivered gtr have a private import plate on it if it was sold locally?

Oh...... Sorry, the penny just dropped. I didn't realize we were talking about the same car.

That's really weird. We should ask him what it is.

My apologies for jumping to conclusions as we know the car is an ADM. You are right, I haven't seen it on any other ADM either.

Bob.

PS: Second best colour..............:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

you know what they say about owners with fast red cars? :banana:

Hi guys,

Apologies for not replying earlier. Here's a shot of my GTR's identification plate. According to the Chassis no. it is number 9 of 50 from the first batch.

Will get more pics and more details when time permits.

Hi Brad,

There is a sneaky early number that appears later in the range so many people (including myself) all thought their cars were one build earlier than they actually are.

If you check my attached list I think you will find that your car is actually build number 10.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the clarification! I was going off the Nissan Dealer Network Bulletin PDF that was floating around.

Now a little bit about the car.

The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and I believe the work was done at Kevin Bartletts Workshop(around the 2002-2004 timeframe, I bought the car in late 2004).

I'm not 100% sure what was done but I do know the following parts were put in : N1 water pump, N1 oil pump, baffle sump, turbos were rebuilt and hi-flowed, some suspension work, apexi-powerfc, electronic boost controller, pod filters.

I've done some minor things since owning it: SARD injectors(the old ones were leaking), Z32 AFMs(the original ones were faulty causing the car to go into limp mode), Splitfire coilpacks(the old ones were arcing).

Cheers,

Brad

closer pics of that plate above the engine are required. the one on the left is the standard japanese build plate on every GTR I've seen

Hi Duncan,

Well the chassis number is one of the numbers on Nissan Tech Bulletin, but fair point.

Here you go.

Hi Brad....to be clear, I was not questioning the authenticity of the car, just pointing out the blue plate on the left is on every GTR. There was a discussion around the other blue plate above the motor and what it covers (not the nissan build plate you have posted up either).

What is on the other blue plate above the motor? I don't remember having seen one of those before

Hey there Duncan,

No dramas at all. I don't have any other plates, the blue one in the photo is on the left side and the other two plates are on the right side but there is nothing above the motor. Will confirm it tonight.

Cheers,

Brad

ive been thinking about why that silver gtr has an import plate above the engine cover & here is my synopsis:

taking into consideration that kerry packer owned this car, he 'may' have ordered his adm gtr from japan & delivery took place before they were actually complied to be sold locally - maybe or maybe not?

I've just ordered mine from www.pitstop.net.au but I think this is a must for all of us!

Thanks for the info on the Aussie godzilla book. Ordered Wednesday and it arrived in Brisbane Thursday. Read and finished by Friday. Great read.

Thanks.Rob

Who did you order your through?

Thanks...... Bob.

Thanks...... Bob.

Pitstop bookstore in Perth as recomended by your link. Excellent speedy service. One of the interesting things from reading is the Gibson racing cars were not from the "100" but made from shells sent from Japan. Great read. Thanks,

Rob.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
