Aussie Delivered R32 Gtr's

[gtr fan]

Did you do the Targa Tour this year John? This is defineatley on my to do list!

[John Murray]

No Targa this year. Afraid I have chickened out on using the GTR for events that involve very solid trees so close to the road. That's the reason for the R30. Last year several comments were made from non Skyline people that it would be a pity if it got bent. Just goes to show the high regard these cars in still held in. Also Targa is expensive and now that I am retired the pennies are fewer.

Anyone that is interested, i am thinking of selling mine. Unmodified with just over 31000 ks. Im at a point where i don't want to modify it or put heaps of ks on it. I have a figure in my mind but opinions of what its worth is appreciated. Thanks.

[Marko R1]

Not good Jim but I understand your perspective.

Because its not the 'premium' jet silver metallic colour, unfortunately its not worth as much hehe

On a serious note though, a recent ADM that sold on Shannon's website went for $53k (burgundy) and another black ADM sold with an undisclosed price (black).

Its hard to say what its worth, what os more important is finding the right buyer that not only pay the price BUT also look after and appreciate your car.

The car looks stunning but to get a premium you need history with documentation and paperwork.

If you have the original press kit, portfolio wallet, owners manual, ADM brochures and booklets then your in business.

If you need clarification on this, feel free to contact me for more info.

PS: I'm in Newcastle on a regular basis so if you would like to catch up let me know.

Hello Aussie delivered GT-R owners

I don't own an Aussie one but I'm one of the many that fell in love with them back then as a kid and now at age 37 I have bought a later Japanese import. I picked my completely stock 1993 V-Spec up on the weekend, so I'm in my fifth day of GT-R ownership.

I was wondering if any of you could please let me have a little bit of advice? I want to get a copy of the service and owners manuals in English so that I can maintain and operate the car properly and with the respect that it deserves.

Can you please let me know if this publication looks likely to be the same as the Aussie delivered owners manual? Has anyone bought this item and if so, would you recommend it? Are there any better alternatives?

Any other advice regarding handy documentation to get would be great.

Thankyou very much!

Mike

Thanks for the opinions. Marko i am thinking Shannons in October or February in Sydney. Would like to catch up Bob, i have sent you a pm.

Question (and sorry if it's been covered before):-

Do you guys discuss with one another what "Sum Insured" your cars are entitled to attract (as a true market value), and thus generate parity?

I would hate to think that by owning a rare item that holds its value and even appreciates, insurance companies would take advantage of disparity and insure your cars at a broad spectrum of what they deem to be 'market value'.

[Marko R1]

Hi Terry,

Last year when I insured my ADM with Shannon's, I was advised that market value is between 40-60k thus I had the option of insuring my car for whatever price I most comfortable with which affected my annual premium.

To answer your question though...we haven't really shared on the forum what our cars are insured for.

GTR 500 is back for sale?

Finally........ it looks like its sold.

Only 1 ADM for sale at the moment.

Thin picking for anyone who wants to own one.

Bob.

Hullo Jim

Didn't know there was another Aus delivered in Newcastle. I get a few tyre kickers every now and then, most are dreamers but you never know. If your interested I could tell any serious people about yours being for sale. I wouldn't part with mine for less than $60k but then I might be prejudiced. Shannons had no trouble with a $50k agreed value. email is [email protected] if you want to contact.

You too Bob, give me a note when your up here next, I am in Merewether.

I caught up with Jim the other day and he his literally around the corner from you.

BTW....... his car is a beauty.

Cheers,

Well what a week and a half.

Had a timing belt service and all driveline fluids changed.

After a day realised something was wring with radiator neck as it kept trying to slip off and partly did on a drive. Took Hose off and half the neck was missing, broken etc. OK order new Koyo alloy radiator (this was thursday)

Got radiator this morning and installed during the day so now this part is all good. Notice s crap load of grease around drivers side wheel arch, yes my drivers inner cv boot split and spat most of its contents out, so now to sort this out.

When it rains it pours!

Car are fun eh! Good luck with it all though.......

My daughters little Pulsar did that, makes a mess doesn't it!

[gtr fan]

Yeah its not pretty. I think Marko recently went through the same issue.

wasn't me...my gtr is becoming a bit of a statue which annoys me

Nothing worse than preserving a car for the next owner IMO.

Do we have this red gtr on our register list? Who owns it I know its a long shot haha

[Marko R1]

Lol what a blonde moment...its a JDM.

How could it be an ADM when the gtr debut ATCC in July 1990.

[Duncan]

since nissan would have supported that piece, I'll bet it was one of the prototypes, might even have become one of the toruing cars later when they built more chassis, or maybe it became the pace car/falken car.

100% correct........

From what I can tell, they had about 5-6 of these pre-release vehicles.

Cheers,

Bob.

[Marko R1]

Great info Duncan and Bob...u guys seem to know a lot about the r32 and its race history.

OK - so its not an ADM hence the list is up to date
