Yeah....... This is what happened during the Muscle Car boom of 2005-2007. Every time a silly price was listed, people laughed....... Until the car sold! Then a higher silly price etc etc.

We desperately need some high priced cars to sell to set some kind of bench mark but there are so few of these floating around they almost stay under the radar.

Bob.

It's the Mark Skaife Car......Funny he dosen't mention that.

It's owned by an Antique dealer I believe.

Bob.

He does Bob in the brief comments in the ad, then goes on to state that the OZ wheels where changed by Skaife;

"Brief Comments 1991 Nissan Skyline GTR32 Ex Gibson Motor Sport, Mark Sfaife's personal road car in as new cond."

I would be interested at around half the $130K asking price, but that would be underselling it I suppose, given its the lowest km ADM been publicly offered with only 14,000 Km's, completely original and seems to be in mint condition. Time will tell however!

Perhaps we should have a poll on what we think it's worth? ( Open to current owners only!)

Closest experience to being able to buy one brand new I would imagine.

I honestly believe that the aussie muscle car boom was driven tbecause there were so many potential buyers and fans out there. Even the 'investors' I reckon were still fans of these cars.

And to be realistic there aren't too many fans of gtrs that aren't on this forum.

Don't get me wrong, I have loved these since the day I was on my push bike as a kid and saw a burgundy one go past me in Dural, and still really enjoy my car after a decade of having it but $130K is defineatly rich if you me.

I drove to bathurst in mine a couple of weeks ago (had never been on the road) and could't beleive a terrific the circuit really is. Couldn't do anything silly with other traffic and soooo many walkers and pedestrians around but would love to do a few laps on an open track day!

1) 'Twas also given a decent rundown on Motive DVD #11 by Andrew Hawkins.

2) More pics of her in the Archives section of SAU R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary

3) More pics of her in Performance Imports magazine #133 re: 21st Anniversary

Gorgeous car - ugly price - or is it? To become part of the Jay Leno or Billy Joel collection perhaps?

Even if I was able to afford it, there'd be no way I'd able to justify paying 130k for an ADM R32 GT-R ....

It wouldn't concern me whether a car was ADM or JDM as long as its in immaculate non-accident condition because essentially the vehicles will perform/feel exactly the same.


Theres a JDM R32 GTR for sale at the moment with a genuine 10,000kms on the odometer and with an asking price of $50,000 - which will decrease given the demand for a road-registered supercars is very low at the moment. If I was given $130,000 and I had to pick one of the two, I'd rather pick up the JDM model and save myself the $80,000.....heck I could buy the JUN Akira Supra or an R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur with the leftover money

I was considering a ADM recently and it was $46,000 with 81,000kms. I don't think $70,000 would be unreasonable for one in such good condition/low kms.

How much is Mark Skaife's ownership worth? Who knows.........

There is one (referred to in other posts and below) with approx 2500kms in Japan. I considered the white one they also have for sale till I realised it wasn't a V Spec.

$130K for an ADM R32 GTR :woot:

Yeah.....no.

Don't care if it was previously owned or driven by Mark Skaife or her majesty the Queen.

Cannot justify to spend that amount of money just for a stock R32 GTR which is essentially going to need to be restored at some point in time.

May as well save a bit more and buy an Aussie delivered R35 GT-R and see what kind of ROI you can get in 20 years time.

for your grand kids kids maybe. But you won't be turning that into any huge profit in our lifetime :)

But agree with the guy above you. For $130k i would have a play with the 32 and buy a 35. Compared to a 32 i would be too scared to reverse out of the drive. Every time you roll that thing out you'd be eating into your investment.

My opinion aside, good luck to the guy, would be great for 32's if he gets anywhere near that.

is anybody familiar with this ADM?it was by fluke that i came across this example on google images

I have seen this R32 GTR in one of my HPI magazine. I think it was used as a reference to show what a good skyline is suppose to look like.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
