BTW Kasey reduce the average sale prices by 10-15k for the blown motor and you'll be about right. Not sure who came to the conclusion that head work is required, it is almost certainly a bottom end rebuild that is required including new bearings and probably boring out the cylinders to remove the scores (which will also require aftermarket oversize pistons). Not a big deal, but not minor either...been there, done that before

Where is the car, I've been keeping an eye out for something that has original bits but needs some work.

Also, this forum is probably the best place to sell it to a genuine buyer that understands why it is worth more than imported GTRs.

Hi Duncan,

I think my stepfather did get a quote to have the work done, the details are sketchy it was a number of years ago and it is tough to get an understanding at this point. The car is in Castle Hill, Sydney. I am actually in NZ but my brother is in Sydney and could show you the car if you wanted to have a look. I have always been told that he brought the car new, he is quite pedantic so i would assume everything would be as original as practically possible. I know the stereo stopped working a few years ago and someone nicked the GTR badge off the boot but should be in good condition otherwise. Although it really has been forgotten about for the last few years, as they have had bigger priorities to deal with. We were trying to weigh up whether to fix it and get it back on the road or not before selling but again we have other priorities

Let me know if you want to have a nosey at it, [email protected]

Hi Kasey,

I too live in Castle Hill (Cherrybrook/Dural side) and as an owner of 2 ADM's and one V-Spec 2, I would be only too happy to inspect the car and give you a fair evaluation as to its worth.

I'd love to see Duncan buy the car so rest assured I have no intention of cutting his grass! :worship: :worship: :worship:

I'll send you an email containing my contact details.

Regards,

Bob.

someone posted on the sau fb page that the tail lights were quoted at $1100 so looks like its getting parted for good money for the wrecker.

also someone calling them R34 style lights...... sigh

OK......... Just to clarify,

The owner bought 2 ADMs within 5 days of each other.

The one in the picture is a stolen/recovered, not the car mentioned on here in post 1125.

The tail lights are from a silver car he bought late last year.

To the best of my knowledge, neither car will be wrecked, certainly not the Castle Hill car.

A few pics I took when I inspected the car.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
