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!

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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
