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

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
