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?

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
