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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
