Hey guys, thought I'd give this thread a bump..........

Not withstanding absolute sh!thouse weather in Sydney over the last month or so I took my newly completed restored Black ADM for a bit of a run today.

I've spent the last 8 weeks bringing her back to original condition and let me tell you its been a challenge I'd NEVER do again.

It is so time consuming and just so hard to find OEM parts for these cars now.

I got the last bonnet badge, searched the globe and actually found one in Melbourne (with an inch of dust on the packaging).

I have wet sanded the entire car which has removed 98% of the scratches. Spent 3 hours just on the bonnet!

I'll just tinker with her over the next 2 weeks or so but I will be offering it for sale towards the end of the month.

Asking price will be $39,900.00, but happy to negotiate off that.

Its done 171,500 kms, original owner had it for 6 years, next owner about 8 months and the last owner had it for 15 years+.

It DOES have books, and all the goodies that come with these cars.

Cheers,

Bob.

It's not part of the 100 cars but it is one of the 2-3 evaluation vehicles NISSAN used.

I suspect this car was used on the Hay plains as described in the book "Aussie Godzilla" on page 78.

The VIN and engine number is far too early for the 100 production run and I know all 100 cars were red, silver or black.

I ran a VIC Roads rego check which is attached.

Rare car but being a bit out of left field I would want plenty of documentation which Nissan should be able to provide.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As some of you may be aware some time ago my BNR32 was stolen from a panel beater while some repairs were being carried out.

I would like to know for the purpose of my claim against said panel beater is currently stuck as the quantum of the claim is agreed upon what is the value of the complete original compendium and contents.

I have had luck with having the vehicle valued by a 'Registered Valuer' but no one has yet been willing to put a 'value' on the compendium.

Thank you in advance

Alec

Hi Alec,

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to your question.

Firstly, when you say compendium, are you including the owners manual with the original owners details in the front cover?

Do you include the leather wallet, 2 smaller booklets, keyring, pen etc???

Please clarify exactly what was lost/stolen.

Generally speaking, the owners manual is very important for our cars.

As these are mainly bought by collectors, these bits and pieces are what it all about.

If you want a 20 year old white Corolla then the value is a lot less for books etc.

The intrinsic value of these items may be $500-$1000 .........BUT.......

The value of your car may have declined by up to five times that amount without them.

If a completed car is worth $50,000, the same car without books is worth a hell of a lot less.

Please let us know exactly what was lost.

Bob.

Bob,

thanks for the reply.

Leather compendium, complete with the following contents

how to drive your GTR by Messrs Skaife & Richards

Original service manual the car was delivered to City Nissan in Melbourne from memory

Guide to Nissan Dealer Network

Premium fuel locations

Valet key

key ring

I have no idea how to prove its intrinsic value, to be honest I am totally over this whole saga !!

Thanks in advance

Alec

Hi Alec..........

Based on your account of the missing items, I think it best said that whatever compensation you can get is a bonus.

To put things into perspective, a Ferrari Dino 246 recently sold for $340,000.......

The buyer then paid $25,000 for the period correct tool kit!

The car is now valued at $400,000+ because it is totally complete.

The contents of the tool kit could have been replicated with quality tools for less than $200.00.

Whilst these are telephone numbers I think it puts things into perspective.

A car with matching documents would be worth at least 10% more than one without.

Good luck mate, I feel your pain!

Bob.

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if this car is owned by a forum member or not but I saw it parked this afternoon at Round Corner Dural in Sydney.

The number plate is GTR111. I did a RTA search to my surprise it's build number 2.

It was in excellent condition and with the exception of the wheels, all else was 100% stock including radio and speakers.

I felt like a criminal taking pics of it as it was parked in a busy thoroughfare and people were watching but I was pleased I did.

I'd love to hear from the owner if they are present here.

Cheers,

Bob.

PS: Apologies for the crap iphone photos.

Just changed the setting and it looks a lot better now but that doesn't help these pics.

Well.......... Believe it or not, I found this car less than 50 metres away from last week's silver car.

I've done the RTA check and it's build number 34.

Owned by a VERY mature gentleman who has had it for 16 years.

Sold new by Hornsby Nissan.

107,000 kms, very straight and original including exhaust/radio speakers etc..... Just needs a good detail.

The wheels are naturally missing as they were stolen a few years back.

Cheers....... Bob.

Hi All

My air conditioner compressor has failed. I haven't pulled it to bits yet but suspect the valve plate has cracked. Anyone got any ideas on replacement or repair options?

Going to Bathurst for 6th, 7th and 8th February and will be in the pit area. Anyone else going?

John

Have to find a good second hand unit local (try FS car parts & accessories $50ish)

New appx $850 AUD from Amayama

No Idea if Nissan parts could help you out or be cheaper

Hmm, did the wheels actually get stolen off the car e.g. was the car left sitting on bricks?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
