This one is no good, been crashed at the front.

why has it got a nismo cluster when the adm is already a 260kph dash? Strange plus....

I found this exact car in a write up online ages ago stating it was just in someone's backyard sitting around being treated like rubbish? 

You don't ever just leave a gtr uncovered in a backyard..

My Dad leaves his on the street sometimes under a tree. His has had a few issues because of this but all sorted now. He also has the Nismo Dash Overlays which he purchased from Dealer when his Nismo Exhaust was fitted in '95. I think given the direction prices of ADM GTR's are going. If one was to throw $10,000 at it to get it back, that might be money well spent long term

Yeah I linked the write up just before. The engine bay gave it away. Agreed on those points but I guess its no better than most of the JDM models the dealers are selling for close to that price atm. Considering rarity idd rather that

Musical chairs.... Luck of the draw what the price is every day.

Spoke with the cars owner, says price is heavily negotiable. However the cars is in desperate need of a tune ( running rich and too much lag ). To make things worse, he wouldn't disclose in detail what pieces actually went into the build. 

I'm just curious, how much would any of you actually pay for this car, in its current condition? 

Have been looking for a GTR for a while now and keep finding duds on these forums.

I like to work backwards.......

The bare facts:

  • ADM with no books.
  • 187,000 kms with non original cluster. Anybody's guess as to the real mileage.
  • Average condition at best.
  • Needs mechanical work and overall minor restoration..

Ok if the car was in excellent condition, no books and required nothing to be spent and paint, body and interior were all good, I'd value the car at $60K.

Simply calculate what it would cost to get the car into this condition. Realistically I'd say the car's worth $40k-$45k depending on the costs and your ability to do the work yourself. Alternatively, if your a clutz like me, then everything come with a $120.00 per hour bill!

Cheers,

Bob.

So you think 60k even with the Nismo cluster etc if in good condition?

Exactly what bob said mate,

Kilometers are unknown, no one should ever change a adm dash to nismo, condition would be very average and would suit restoration. Gtr part prices.. is a whole conversation in itself.. 

also an owner changing his " reason for selling " ? First was to old, then was no room and now bought another house? Lol.

I have been looking for a Gtr for ages too mate and just keep looking, I am actually over looking but have to wait for the right car.

To put it all in perspective though when you buy a gtr, you are buying an old car that needs a lot of time and money spent on maintenance straight off the bat.

Yes but you are up for $15K-$20K to get it to that condition.

At $40,000-$42,000 you have a decent project car on your hands.

I'd try and track down a conventional 260 kph speedo (Will have Nismo or some other branding) as the non branded version was ONLY on ADM's.

At least it will look normal and change out the centre gauges too.

Find a period correct AM FM radio and the interior will look somewhat liveable. 

May be a bit of mucking around but its probably the only way someone will own a half decent sub $60K ADM.

Yes, car now listed for $44,990.00

I know a guy who has a 260kmph adm cluster btw if anyone desperately needs it btw. I know the feeling ive spent a good amount on mine to get it perfect mechanically and buy bits that are needed. Probs owes me close to 60k and this black adm will easily be over a 60k car when finished if you include transport and rego etc (if in NSW). That sets you back a few grand easily. Idd want at least 70k if I was going to sell mine with 135k kms, even without books just receipts as the replacement cost is huge regardless.

What difference does a set of original books make to the price of an ADM??  How many thousand would the differential be?

Also, would this be more prevalent for a lower mileage ADM than one that has a lot of KM's on the Odometer??  Any guidance would be appreciated.  

Cheers.

Correct, Erik was asked to remove it. 

I'm the owner of the car.

Refer to the thread whereby I have cleared up the misconceptions.

I have also found my books, but never found the receipts for engine work. 

Also to the inaccurate account of my former reasons for sale , they've never differentiated from never having the room for another vehicle, I have a 2016 LSA R8 Clubsport & yes I've bought another house. 

The GTR was going to make a third, however since finding the complete service books, including the 'how to drive your GTR' & the complete list of GTR dealers & premium fuel stations, for the time being I've decided to keep the car. Advert has been removed from car sales & after putting the work into the car over 3 days that Erik was supposed to put in over 2.5 years the car is healthy presentation wise & the AVERAGE tune done by Checkered Tuning has been rectified by bringing the boost BACK into the midrange to marry with the fat A/F tables rather than let it suffer rich in the midrange. 

Cheers,

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
