Hey Guys.

I would like to introduce myself. I am Ben and I have a Red Pearl Metallic ADM car. #62

Just wanted to confirm that from factory the positive battery terminal is on the right hand side?

Also any advice or suggestions on a stock/factory looking replacement battery?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there ! By factory positive location you mean the drivers side rear outside looking from the front of the car, then yes. It is actually termed a left hand positive, as in if the battery is in front of you and terminals are closest to you, positive is on the right.(I know that sounds backwards). I guess if you wanted the factory look you would want a battery that is completely black. Battery discussed here below recently:

Post photos of car mate ! Everyone always likes looking ADM 32s.

Starting at $235k ?! Someone needs to back away from the crack pipe....

Sure it is the only KH2 ADM car, but seriously ? Keep us updated on if anyone finds out what it eventually sells for.

You'd think they'd include a few more detailed photos for that asking price... I don't understand why sellers include history lessons in their sale ads either...

I know right ? Like they are trying to educate and entice someone who knows nothing about the history of these cars into an extravagant appreciating investment purchase.

The only people buying ADM 32s at these astronomical and quite frankly ridiculous prices, are buying into the nostalgia of the group A racing history - which they clearly already know about.

Even that is insane, but seems to be the ADM price realm at the moment. It's a fair wack below the $235000 one mentioned, which is just comical.

Step back a moment, these are still just a standard R32 GTR no matter which way people try to spin it. Don't get me wrong, I can see the appeal of owning an Aussie delivered one for sure (my main like is the factory transfer case cooler, then the factory 260km Speedo and roof aerial), but the perceived value of these ADM cars is turning into pure propaganda. Only owners of ADM cars already would say otherwise....but hey the market decides what things are worth.

I'd suggest one of these for a close to OEM fit for any 90's Nissan, just pick the right size, terminal type and terminal orientation:

it's one of the 9 silver ones with a Nissan Australia compliance plate - big difference than produced.

And I quote myself...

You guys and your ADMs are just proving my point really

I’d have to troll thru this thread to find the exact number, however, from memory there are 26 jet silver and the remaining red & black was an equal split amongst the total 100 ADM’s...the above advertised is grey and a one off colour - what do u mean by 1 of 9 silver?

Marko R1 I was replying directly to the previous post by John Murray - he claimed it is one of 9 silver cars with an ADM compliance plate. Actually GTR registry claims 25 ADM KG1 Jet silver metallic so I don't know where he got 1 of 9 from. End of the day, it is still just an R32 GTR in KG1 PRODUCED from Nissan and there are 1620 in that colour.

That is my point that I'm making - there is this ADM elitist attitude going on that somehow they are like a completely different built car and are a better car than they really are. A v spec 32 for example is mechanically a better car.

As for the gun metal grey ADM, who really gives a shit that it is the only ADM one in that colour. It is still the most common R32 GTR colour KH2 is it not ? Certainly doesn't deserve to command a massive price like that, and I will piss myself if it actually does go for it's asking price.

Look I like all the GTR models, and find the ADM ones intriguing, but anyone with any common sense sees right through this ADM perceived value. ADM 32 GTR is a cool thing, but there are a lot of other GTR models I would buy before an ADM one. And have. I passed on an ADM 32 in 2004 for my 33, don't regret it for a second.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
