Bob, id love to hear more about why the ADM is different to drive. Is it that it has lower kms or does the JDM one have mods? I would have thought that the driving experience would be the same as most changes were purely cosmetic or to meet the ADRs.

It is really due to low kms as I've had a reasonable condition JDM and a very tidy JDM. Combination of a well maintained car which is tight in every way (i.e. driveline, bushes, gearbox etc).

It is also psychological I believe...for example, an A9X will always feel more nostalgic than a replica :)

Bob, id love to hear more about why the ADM is different to drive. Is it that it has lower kms or does the JDM one have mods? I would have thought that the driving experience would be the same as most changes were purely cosmetic or to meet the ADRs.

The difference is mainly due to the JDM having a heavy duty Exedy clutch and all the consequenceses than come from that. The drive train is noisy by comparisonsn. The trust bearing although new (supposedly anyway) is very noisy and it has 30 mm heavy duty firmer lowered springs. Add that into the equation and it just doesn't have the smoothness and driving ease the ADM has.

Interior wise, the ADM is mint.

It had the dealer fitted lambswool seat covers on it since day one so when I removed them, the seats were new.

They even have that new car smell. The JDM's interior has been restored so there is no comparison.

I will find out tomorrow whether my mate is going to buy the JDM. Bit of a saga since mid February but unless he confirms he will take it, I'll keep it and put a new stock clutch and thrust bearing in it. I also have the original springs which I may refit too.

You are right though, they should be the same and hopefully if I keep it they eventually will be.

Here are some interior pics to give you an idea.......

Cheers,

Bob.

Correct...... Well maintained low mileage car drives exactly as the factory intended it to.

Another ADM has just popped up....... I've seen this car, it's supurb!

#10/93

A bit over half of its new price; and so it should be. :)

Will the new owner also be an over 50?

Thanks for spotting this Bob.

Can anyone explain why there are not many silver ADM's?

Obviously the above list is only as accurate as what we know, however, I find it very interesting as one would expect that Nissan Australia would import the 3 available colours in equal numbers?

Is there any intelligence on how many ADM's were complianced, how many of these were sold and what happened to the remaining cars that weren't sold?

I am sure there is no answer on my above Q's...just putting it out there

Red pearl metallic number 6 and 33 is the same car and is 96 - 100 and number 31 is 87 - 100

Thanks for pointing this out Robert - now updated with the above build no's & also consolidated no.6 with no.33...

Nice score on the taillights bob. I have always worried about those and the rear number plate surround.

Well I have al my stock parts but couldn't help but have ecu boost and exhaust. you end up with around 50- 70 kw at the wheels and its a lot more fun in thrid gear up a hill.

All though I have nismo fuel pump and -5's to go on. You wouldn't even know there on once the heat sheilds. But thats just my taste.

Rohin

i may have spotte another silver ADM but it is very hard tell from the below link:

http://www.fullboost.com.au/story.php?secId=401&storyId=609&page=1&start=1&year=2005&go=1

the car plated RH9 is already in our list, however, the car behind it with alloy wheels look to be an ADM, unless it is only carrying ADM tail lights as i cannot see side indicators, roof aerial & cannot workout if it has an ADM rear plate holder...

Sorry Marko,

Meant -9's. Originally bought -5's but then swapped them for -9's as they are meant to be more responsive.

-9s are good for 330kw.

If u wanted even better response u could have gone -7s but will be limited to 300kw.

Pm sent :)

  • 2 weeks later...

When speaking with the owner a few weeks back he mentioned a very keen and cashed up interest coming from W.A.

Although honestly I don't know for sure what has eventuated since then.

Mining magnate?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
