Hi Marko

I've got too many at the moment plus a car trailer I bought this week. Space is a problem.

Option 1. Selling the Skyline and the Senator and keeping the R30, then buying a ute or one tonner as a tow vehicle.

Option 2. Selling the Skyline, the Senator and the wife's Forester, keeping the R30, then buying a larger 4WD as a tow vehicle.

Option3. Keep everything and get comments about looking like a car yard.

U are the 3rd gtr owner who also owns a forester for the wife...great cars.

Well....... I would have very nearly been the 4th!

My wife had the choice of either a Forester or Liberty as her new company car 2 weeks ago....... Ended up with the Liberty 2.5 Premium wagon. Great car. Heaps better than the sh!tty Camry she had.

What's wrong with a car yard? I have 5 cars........ Nightmare but I can't bring myself to consolidate. I just can't find 3 (let alone 2) cars that will tick all the box's of 4 plus the daily I own.

Cheers,

Bob.

What is your collection bob?

Camrys are crap, aurion is nice though. My brother has 1 and it absolutely flies for what it is.

1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R ADM

1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R JDM

1997 Mercedes Benz SL 600 V12 (Kerry Packers Car)

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS

Bob.

Very nice bob. Kerry packer loved his gtr's as we all know.

Sanderson's Mercedes is the Packer's preferred Merc dealer from whom I purchased the car.

The Dealer principal (owners son) recalls Packer coming into the showroom in 1997 and parking a burgundy GT-R in the middle of the service centre when enquiring about the car. It was a special build by Mercedes for the 1997 Sydney International Motor Show.It had $12,000 worth of options and cost Packer $397,000!

I have all the purchase documents and fax communications all on Consolidated Press letter heads.

It's one of 38 SL 600's that was officially brought into Australia by Mercedes during its model span - 1993-2001.

Well done Uncle Duncan.

I read an article on the 10 most desirable Jap cars to own in unique cars, they estimate that the good ADM cars will be back up to their purchase price in 10 years.

For anyone interested, mine is going to be auctioned in Shannons Sydney auction. Its listed on their page.

Good Luck Jim......

Here's the link to the auction - http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Bob.

Can anyone get a similar photo done of their ADM (mines in hiding) from the right rear qtr, check the numberplate holder section, its a good indication if its legit.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
