Unique Cars #372 currently has an ADM f/s from WA. Page 207. Reg No GTR091. Is this one on your list?

Yes Terry,

That's been for sale for a long time sadly.

They were black cars..........BUT..........

They were not part of the 100 special build.

They were part of the 4-6 evaluation cars that Nissan brought in for testing and compliance testing.

I can't confirm whether there were 4 or 6 of these cars I'm getting both numbers quoted from various sources.

As you can see with my attached pics, the VIN is well before the first batch of 50 cars.

The Japanese ID tag doesn't have the 40Z prefix either that were assigned to the ADM's.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hi Bob - and everyone else, long time reader first time contributor!

Bob, have you had any luck identifying the original 'prototypes' brought in separately to the 100 ADM's?

I understand there is a blue one in Melbourne - just hearsay though.

Hi mate and welcome..........

I know of 3 prototypes....... The interesting thing about them is the VIN's.

They are numbers ending with 11260, 11266 and 11268. So...... were there 9 in total if you fill in the blanks?

I was contacted privately by the gentlemen who owns the blue one in Melbourne (TH1 paintcode). It's not hearsay, it's fact.

Another one, (Gun Metal Grey) is currently for sale on Carsales and the 3rd was the Falken Bathurst 12hr car.

If anyone else knows the whereabouts of any of the others that would be great.

Cheers,

Bob.

Very funny. :D:D:D:D:D

It was actually the wheels that got me thinking it was you........

Let's face it, silver ADM with those wheels. Not many of them around!

Only 24 ever made and I know of at least 1 that has gone to god!

Hi guys,

A good friend of mine bought the green car off Bob Roman in the early noughties. It had the original interior back in it and the only mods were the gear knob, ARC intake air filter box, wheels (not the ones in the AR&T article) and aftermarket suspension. It changed a bit in the years that he had it.

It saw a fair few track days around Sydney and at one stage it was being prepared for Targa Tasmania (but never made it). I remember it kissed the wall at Oran Park and needed to have the whole side resprayed. When we pulled the trim apart we found that it was actually a metallic red car, not black. I'm sure from memory that it had a dark engine bay though. I remember there was something odd about the colour code on the build plate too.

The last time I saw it, it had gold painted R33 GTR wheels on it and his then girlfriend was driving it around.

He eventually sold it about 8-9 years ago to a guy in QLD. I'd love to know where it is now.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
