Sorry Bob, what I meant to say was "is $45k the starting price to get into an ADM from here on in"

The black WA car is still up for sale for $44,995.

Price drop........

Bob.

That black car on Carsales.com.au in WA is originally a jet silver coloured car as per KG1 code on the compliance plate.

That's sad......

A collector won't touch it with a barge pole and an enthusiast will buy a nice JDM for half the money.

I sincerely wish the seller all the best but I just can't fathom who would buy it?

Bob.

Yep thats been for sale for a while. I ampretty sure I saw it for sale for a lot less on this forum a few years ago.

Different colour

Different seat material

and different engine block

There is no way anyone would pay a premium for that car.

Well the car would still be a better buy than a JDM if u wanted certainty around service history.

You could easily respray it back to silver.

With regards to the engine number, what are the rules around buying a blank block from nissan and restamping it with the original numbers? I think if the original engine number was not reported stolen or registered = feasible solution for the right enthusiast.

This is all based on buying the car at the right price.

Absolutely. You only have to see how much people have paid for rusted out falcons with the right VIN#. Collector world is kind of a parallel universe.

New blocks from Nissan come without an engine number, you are expected to stamp the original number onto it when you install it. In any case Nissan (including FAST) does not provide a link between engine number and vin# so you cannot prove a claim that an engine is or is not original.

Just an update on mine. Still for sale with 'offers' put on the add. I have had interest.Nothing progressing to people actually coming to look at the car. With regards to restoring one, it can become really expensive. If you can't do most of the work yourself, accept my words of wisdom and don't buy one that needs major restoration. I also have (for those that are old enough to know) a Valiant VH E55 Charger that needs restoration and was quoted 80 grand (turn key) by a popular Mopar shop in sydney. A guy i know, can do it as a roller for 20 grand. You still need to do the drive train and chase other parts that may be hard to get. It adds up..

Hi All,

I was going through some old photos and came across the attached R32 GTR ADM.

It appears to be a Promo car for Recaro and was displayed at the 1993 Melbourne Motor Show and is dark green in colour. It looks standard on the outside apart from the aftermarket wheels and repaint.

The ADM features are there, roof mounted aerial, tail lights etc.

I wonder if it survived??

The silver one for $30,000 is being sold by Andrew @ hyperdrive Motorsport . I don't think it's advertised anywhere as such.

That black car on Carsales.com.au in WA is originally a jet silver coloured car as per KG1 code on the compliance plate.

That Silver one has since been Sold.... as I asked Andrew about it.

I've seen this car featured in a few of my old car magazines. Bob.

Thanks Bob, I took those pictures back in 1993 (when some of the guys on here were not even born), with a real camera that you had to go the shop to get the film developed.

I was very much interested in these cars back then, even though I was a Holden fan and drove my V8 around everywhere. BTW, I still have the V8 (garaged and covered).

Perhaps, this "RECARO" GTR can be also added to the list under "others" or similar as it is now Green and doesn't fall into one of the 3 colours available.

Regards,

Tony

Here you go Tony..........

I just scanned this out of Australian Road and Track Feb 1993.

It was featured in a couple more mags but I just don't have time to find them all.

Hmmmmmm Attachments dont work?

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
