I have seen one of the ex pace cars. It was completely factory except it was British racing green but was so long ago I wouldn't even know where the car was anymore.

Edit: I was told at the time it was the pace car for the 92 Bathurst and if you watch footage it was definitely a British racing green Aussie Gtr

Yes....... The car you are referring to was Bob Roman's (Autotek) Recaro/Momo promotional car.

I have a few articles on it and I'm sure in one of them it comments on a black to green paintjob.

It had numerous different paint/wheel and trim schemes.

Here are a couple of articles on it, unfortunately I need to go to work so I post them all up.

It looks black in the attachments but in the actual magazine you can clearly see it's a dark metallic green.

Cheers,

Bob.

Good work bob!! that is the car, when I saw it 10 years ago it had a different set of momo wheels on it and now that you say it I remember them mentioning it being a momo promo car.

When I get home from Fiji I will ring my friend to see if he still knows where it is

Ok....... Sorry for the delay but day to day life got in the way.

Attached is a new spreadsheet with the correct build numbers matched to VIN's in sequential order from lowest to highest.

With the correction surrounding the 15145/16145 anomaly (myself included), anyone who has/had a build number under 45 needs to deduct 1.......... I go from 27 back to 26 etc.

The final count of colours within the 100 ADM's is:

  • 44 Red Pearl Metallic's - Paint Code AH3
  • 32 Black Pearl Metallic's - Paint Code 732
  • 24 Jet Silver Metallic's - Paint Code KG1
Based on my research and information supplied within these 50+ pages, these numbers are much more in line than the previously published ones. The 37/Red, 37/Silver and 26/Black theory just doesn't stack up.

Whilst as a matter of respect to my informant, I won't post up a complete list of colours mated to VIN's but if anyone has a one off enquiry, I'm happy to supply the info via PM's.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hey Bob,

Can you confirm what colour is supposed to be on build number 016045.

Regards,

  • 2 weeks later...

Hey guys, I thought I would update you on a recent purchase........

I purchased build number 63 a few weeks back and unveiled it at last weeks 25th Anniversary get-together.

She needed a little bit of TLC which was given. It's now getting close to being where I want it to be.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
