Hey Bob nice 2 page spread in latest Unique Cars mag

LOL.........Looks like an abbreviated reprint from the 5 page feature I did a few years ago. I'll get it tomorrw but I certainly didn't know they were doing it until I read your post.

Cheers,

Bob.

No mention of the ADM selling in the spring Shannon's auction?

50k

http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Yeah....... I was at the auction and was a little dissapointed that it didn't go for a bit more. I thought it was certainly worth $55K but I guess that's just the way it goes.

I'm not sure if Jim the seller is still on the forum but if he is I'd be interested to know who bought it, what state the buyer is from and just any other info he may be able to provide. Privacy laws do make it hard to find out much.

If the new owner is on this forum then please PM me as I'd love to make contact.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ok so here are the photos. I can be contacted on 0409930177 for those that are interested. The car has a non factory stereo and a cat-back exhaust, besides that it's unmodified.

Car is off the market, I have decided to keep it. On another note I have managed to pick up an original Clarion stereo head unit for it :)

There is a new one up on carsales, $46.5k, 180k on the clock, good nick. Cant copy/paste for some reason. jkr100.

Here we go...... Looks good for the kms its travelled......

75 yr old owner - just awesome :)

LOL...... That will be me in 24 years time!

Check this out but make sure you have sound. The last 7-8 seconds in particular.

Good luck with the sale.

I went in my mates black r35...what a piece of engineering, absolutely phenomenal!

I will join u 1 day but I can't part with my ADM hence acquiring my r35 will take longer than i originally anticipated.

I hope you find a good home for her Brad, and you get a nice deal done. The 35's are awesome, that acceleration!

If possible, could you make the new owner aware of this thread.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

I had a bit of a win today...........

I had to go to Pick and Payless to get a part for my daughters car.

I sniffed around and found a 1992 Nissan Maxima.

This was in the dash...... Got the plugs too.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.
    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
