Congratulations on your purchase. I kept my eye on that car and noticed it was off Carsales early last week.

I too have two GT-R's, a 100% stock ADM and a slightly modified V-Spec 2.

As good as the VS2 is, the stock ADM is just so nice.........

Light clutch, super quite, nice ride.........

The VS2 is substantially faster but a lot more tiring to drive. Louder, a lot stiffer and harsher in the suspension plus a firmer clutch.

Cheers and enjoy........ Bob.

Hi Guys - another ADM has changed hands - after a lot of research I took the plunge and bought build #11260 - now I know it isn't part of the 100, but I reckon it is still a special car. It's original apart from a droney 3" exhaust and a chip. I'm the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it off had it for 17 years! He was as unhappy as I was happy when I picked it up....

Came with the original wheels which haven't been on the car since the 90's - they are perfect, it's on a set of Simmons wheels at the moment - I'll keep them on for normal driving and get the real ones on for club stuff. Only fault with the car are stone chipping to the front end and a tear in the drivers seat bolster - and a small dent in the door which I'll get repaired. Any suggestions on repairing the upholstery - it's a common problem, hopefully someone here has solved it already?

The story is that this car was also used as a press car and as Bob has already said evaluation purposes for Nissan - so I suppose you could say that this car is the reason that there are 100 other ADM's !

I'm a happy lad - been a dream since watching ATCC back in the early 90's to own one, looking forward to garaging her next to my '68 1600 - wifes' Volvo is out in the rain....

Thanks guys, and yes bob I am in the same boat as you, I much prefer the quiet, comfortable feel of the Aus delivered one, no rigid suspension, light& forgiving clutch, aircon, comfortable seats and last but not least a car that can be driven nice & pleasantly like a normal car...

It's amazing how you go to town on mods with some cars and just loose all the simple traits that are the very reason why you chose that particular car in the first place.

I have a part that some Of you guys may be able to confirm its origin for me, it's a wastegate of a Australian 32 GTR race car, I purchased it off a guy with the story so It could just be a stretched tale but it looks quite legit, it suits the era, is a factory Nissan item & has the tamper wire still connected in place...

I'll have to get a pic tomororow...

Going to have to say, the external gate story is pretty far fetched. Group A Gibson GTRs didn't use external gates, neither did the HR31 or DR30s. In fact an external gate would have been blatantly illegal in group A rules.

In fact the only one that comes to mind that I know did were the GrpC bluebirds. Dunno about Exa, never got a real good look at it.

"Tamper" wire is just tie wire, to prevent bolts coming undone, it serves no regulatory purpose.

Now, remember that Nissan also ran many prototype style turbo cars with external gates, and provided engines for many more chassis. No doubt a cool piece, but the story doesn't add up. :)

Hi All,

Better add myself to this list. Happy to be the new owner of the the ADM Bob has had for sale.

Safely delivered here to Perth on Friday and have enjoyed in over the weekend. Bob did an exceptional job bringing it to near showroom condition.

Only thing I'd like to do right now is put back in a standard clutch and get rid of the short shift. Happy new R32 owner here :) Looks like there has been a few of us lately.

Cheers

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
