will get a clean up and be put back in storage to be honest I am over it and have other far more important things to worry about to be honest.

I am unsure if getting it back was the best move but I have made my decision and I would like to think I could still get out of it relatively easily, but that is not really why I brought it back.

Still in the process of seeking legal advice, I am not sure what it will cost me and to be honest this is a minor consideration right now.............................

Cheers Alex

Couldnt have asked for a better outcome Alex for what started out so glum. I can understand you being over it at the moment with all the stress and anxiety it has caused....I rekcon in 10 years time you will be happy you bought it back though.

^ZILLR Im keen to see auction if you can be stuffed putting it up

we should start sharing more detailed pics of our ADM's on this thread!

I actually purchased a ticket then had to sell it due to other commitments (house was half open due to reno's)

I wanted to get my glove box signed by jim Richards as I was going to remove this.

I had my motorcycle fairing and leathers signed by the likes of Wayne rainey, shaun Giles and the like

Owner's Description.

One for the motoring enthusiast / collector. purchased new by Kerry Packer (Consolidated Press) this is a original nissan austalia GTR.If you are looking at this you will know the original purchase price and how many were complied here. it comes with full log books and manuals/keys and excellent motoring history. this vehicle was also driven and maintained and modified by the motoring great himself Kevin Bartlett. for those who are not aware Kevin spent alot of time helping nissan compliance the cars. This GTR however goes one step further being modified from new by Kevin for Kerry having the larger discs fitted,wheels to clear the larger discs, computer remapped, custom exhaust and more. The car presents as an original with log booked klms. Servicing was mainly performed by Kevin and his team and this is reflected in the service manuals.

Further history of the car extends to the second owner who was Nick Ross (Kerrys helicopter pilot)and for those who dont know he was the person who gave Kerry a liver.

Nick had entended to do motorsport Rallies so a complied roll cage was fitted, although the roll cage has been removed and trims returned to standard as these events were never fullfilled it will accompany the sale of the vehicle and the QLD modification plate still remains. Now the car remains in storage with very little use only to keep things turning every couple of weeks.Due to expansion of business i am no longer able to store the car so it is now offered for sale or trade. The vehicle is currently Qld registered and the plates are not included in the sale. As mentioned i will accept trades with cash differnce either way.

Looks like it has sold or withdrawn from sale.......

Bob.

More than likely sold at that price. Although, it was on the market for a few months as well which was surprising.

For me, the rollcage would be the deal breaker

The rollcage, penetrations through the body, the condition of the under carriage, stone damage to various panels, etc, they were some of the deal breakers for me.

That car was regularly driven on dirt roads by Mr. Packer when travelling to/from his country property. It had also done a targa Tasmania (one of two Packer cars that went to Targa) and some track work. Kevin Bartlett confirmed all this when I contacted him.

I looked into it at the time but it wasn't what I was after. I'm sure it is what suited somebody else however.

Being on the market for 6+ months doesn't surprise me at all.

my adm has a few bolt on mods, will there be a category for this as it appears your category is for standard adms only?

I could bring mine back to stock but its too much effort :)

It all depends on the day,

If we get enough Modified Aus cars then there will be a category for them, If there is only 3 Aus cars then they will have to be all in the same Category

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
