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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
