I've just done some research to-day Marko after some PMs between us.

Haynes Manuals Inc (aka Bookworks) has quite a few Owner's Manuals for the ADM R32 GT-R available.

They retail at $54.95, but I wonder if a Group Buy can reduce that.

Phone = 02-87131400

Address = 63 Fairford Rd Padstow NSW 2211

Good move Terry

Like I said, these manuals are much more valuable to an ADM owner.

Hello all!

A couple of quick questions relating to the Aussie delivered cars:

• Do any of you know what brand and model of oil cooler/pump/lines were used for the transfer case cooling on the ADM cars? Does anyone know the part number (does it show up on FAST when you punch in your chassis number)?
  I figure that there was probably a very good reason that Nissan fitted them for the Australian market, so I'm thinking that I will have one fitted to my (very stock) '93 JDM V-Spec to ensure that it is maintained properly for Aussie conditions.
  I've recently obtained an original Nissan Australia workshop manual, so I have a very thorough set of diagrams showing the install - I just don't know which unit was used.
  
• My understanding is that the ADM cars came with a rather splendid little leather pouch containing the owner's manual (part ref 99902-J7400) and some other documentation, including a narrative regarding the model's handling and performance from Mark Skaife and Jim Richards. Would any of you mind if I please obtained a scan of that document to feed my passion for these cars satisfy my interest as to the contents? I was only just old enough to get my licence when those two guys and the ATCC GT-R's thrilled me to bits, and I vividly remember watching them 'in the skin' down the road from Mum and Dad's house at the grand prixs here in Adelaide. I'd love to read what Mark and Jim had to say about the GT-R to new owners.
  

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Mike

The handbook is OK....... It's a direct copy, actually a re-print of what we got for the ADM cars.

I don't know why it's so expensive but in the big picture you should have one.

I bought one for my 1990 JDM. Just remember that it won't cover the V Spec features etc.

Thanks Bob! I bought one, and it's definitely worth having. I found an original workshop manual too

I wrote a letter to Nissan in Japan regarding an exact spec for the V-Spec too. I'm waiting on a response. It should be interesting if I get one.

As an aside, a friend of mine's Dad owned one of the Aussie delivered cars in Canberra. His name was Ian Ruff. I wonder if it was one of the ones that you guys have identified? I'll see if I can find out more details.

Ok....... The attached pics are the best I can do at this stage.......

You should also buy this book if you haven't already got it. It's a good read:

Agreed Bob, that above book was a good read.

Highly recommended!

Cool - thanks Bob!

That book looks excellent too... I might 'suggest' it to the wife as a Christmas present

Hey guys,

Look what I found today. Build number 24... I cross checked the VIN.

I went to Eastern Creek Raceway today to have a look at the Tasman Revival events and found this in the car park.

Initially I just thought it was a nice JDM worthy of a look but then I got all excited when I saw the roof aerial.

Another ADM for the list on the assumption we don't have it.

If the owner is on the forum I'd love to hear from you. The only mods I could see was an upgraded exhaust and rear speakers. The head unit was the OEM ADM Clarion.

Cheers,

Bob.

PS: I've just noticed it carries a Sandersons (Mercedes) plate frame which is spooky.... I've just bought a car from them 2 weeks ago!

Cool....... I just looked back at your post (655 I think) ......

Looks like it gets out and about a bit.

I didn't see the owner but my mate did and said he looked like a "mature gentleman"......

Explains why the radio head unit is still there! ;) ;)

The last one and the Nissan Motor Sport pics are great!

You forgot the JDM Time Attack spec lambswool seat covers. Guaranteed to shave 2s off your lap times.

Actually....... Mine came with lambswool seat covers too!

I wonder if there is something in this?

Bob.

You're onto something here Bob...I think the demograph of most ADM owners are of a 'mature' nature (i.e. not Gen Y).

I am however an exception to the rule, being a fine young lad that I am

I'm actually thinking that maybe they were part of the ADM package. We know that there is no mention of it on the paperworks but I think it's something worth looking into......

Perhaps a Dealership Optional Extra (rather than a Nissan Optional Extra) such as paint treatment, endrust treatment,...?

Upselling had already been in vogue then too eh?

[Marko R1]

tell you what though - if these lambswool covers were an optional extra back in the day & I had the opportunity to buy it new, I'd demand removal before it rolls out of the showroom pffft

To be honest mate, I'm thinking of getting some new ones made to go over my JDM seats. Warm in winter, cool in summer and they preserve the stock seat covers. I swear by them.
