What is the book "Aussie Godzilla" that you are referring to?

Is it a properly published book with ISBN, or does it exist online with a weblink?

Thank you!

Here you go..........

From what I know it was imported before Nissan did?

Wrong colour but worth adm money if right?

From my understanding, only the 3-4 prototypes plus the 100 documented ADM's are worth ADM money.

That said, even the prototypes are debatable.

Some say they are worth more, some say not as much. It's a tricky one I guess.

I know little about the Scuderia cars.

If they are just grey imports before Nissan finalised their 100 cars then that's what they are...... "Grey Imports" and should be priced accordingly.

I don't see why they should bring a premium, let alone ADM money.

Could anyone clarify exactly what they are?

Thanks,

Bob.

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

Second hand ones are not worth the effort. Better off with a reconditioned item.

My brother has owned 001 of 006 ever made Scuderia R32 GTRs since 1999 I think...it's original as per factory. Jet Silver Metallic :)

Only 6 were made which was sold locally back in 89. It does not carry any ADM parts such as roof aerial, tail lights, side indicators etc.

They were fitted with the n1 body kit (front bar snorkels, bonnet and boot lip) and also has unique Scuderia branded dash, bootlid badge and compliance plate).

If u search the SAU rare skyline thread I did post pics a few yrs ago.

Not really as they were sold here in Aust with local compliance. The changes on the Scuderia are not really far off the JDM, but then again the ADM is also not far off from the JDM which I think makes the Scuderia as valuable as the ADM...then again, Its probably the rarest R32 GTR which might even outweigh the ADM.

Yeah Scuderia in VIC imported them and sold here as new. He has full documentation and the service log was a joke...7k for a service back in early 90s. My brothers car in particular was sold in 92 as it was on the showroom floor at Scuderia for its first 3 years of its life.

We have had no luck in tracking down the other 5. Ive looked for years on the net with nil result. Probably ended up as race cars hence cannot track them as registered vehicles, or written off

Just spotted in South Hurstville a maroon ADM with plates 1959CF. Sorry couldn't get a pic...another one for the list which I need to update

OK......... We have a problem with that one.

I ran a check through myRTA rego and history check and that rego comes up as a 2006 Ford Falcon!

Either it had an other states rego plate of the guy is swapping plates to avoid number plate recognition in police cars as the car would be unregistered.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
