Just when you thought you had it all.........

A fellow forum member sent me a link on Gumtree to this:

A 6 page fold out brochure on the ADM's.

Paid through the nose for it but I have never seen this version.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hi Guys,

I attended the shooting of a dealership promotional video for the upcoming VF Commodore.

A few Aussie/American and Japanese Muscle Cars were required to give the Commodore some presence.

Well...... that was the idea. Quite frankly I think it ran a poor last but anyway I thought I share some of the pics.

Cheers,

Bob.

On 9 news brisbane last night there was footage of a maroon adm gtr that had been stolen and run over road spikes. Bit of a mess, the owner must be shattered. Had aftermarket rims on it. Cant find any footage sorry.

Could this be the car? http://bit.ly/11SmOiI

Looks to me like it is a JDM that has had a roof aerial fitted to it.

LOL...... Had me going for a minute.

Yes an jDM that looks like aN ADM at first look.

Bob.

Yep, thats the car. I did only catch a glimpse of it on the telly and I always look for the roof antenna, so you can imagine my horror. Glad to hear it was a JDM not an ADM.

Hi All

I am selling the ADM GTR R32 I have so am looking for advice. It has never been modified except for fitting an engine immobilizer. Would I be correct in thinking it is the only one in as delivered condition? I don't want advertise it with any misleading statements. It's in very good condition otherwise.

No, quite a few are original. I'm pretty sure Bob's is 100% stock. It is certainly a strong selling point though and will assist with its value as there are numerous cars out there with various degrees of modification.

Yes...... Mine is 100% stock too as is Jim's up in Newcastle.

The ADM's are more likely to be stock as they would have been a big buy in their day and still are.

Your best saying "One of very few in original condition."

I think that is a fair statement.

Regards......

Bob.

BTW...... What will your asking price be? Any Pics?

Hi Bob

Thanks for the comments, "One of very few in original condition." is a better way to put it.

I am asking 60K. Shannons have it insured "agreed value" for 50k from 2 years ago.

I'd really like to have a get together one day as Jim and I are a bit isolated up here.

Couple of photos, the handbrake and I. I don't normally look that stupid but it's the best I've got.

Regards

John

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
