No Targa this year. Afraid I have chickened out on using the GTR for events that involve very solid trees so close to the road. That's the reason for the R30. Last year several comments were made from non Skyline people that it would be a pity if it got bent. Just goes to show the high regard these cars in still held in. Also Targa is expensive and now that I am retired the pennies are fewer.

Anyone that is interested, i am thinking of selling mine. Unmodified with just over 31000 ks. Im at a point where i don't want to modify it or put heaps of ks on it. I have a figure in my mind but opinions of what its worth is appreciated. Thanks.

Not good Jim but I understand your perspective.

Because its not the 'premium' jet silver metallic colour, unfortunately its not worth as much hehe

On a serious note though, a recent ADM that sold on Shannon's website went for $53k (burgundy) and another black ADM sold with an undisclosed price (black).

Its hard to say what its worth, what os more important is finding the right buyer that not only pay the price BUT also look after and appreciate your car.

The car looks stunning but to get a premium you need history with documentation and paperwork.

If you have the original press kit, portfolio wallet, owners manual, ADM brochures and booklets then your in business.

If you need clarification on this, feel free to contact me for more info.

PS: I'm in Newcastle on a regular basis so if you would like to catch up let me know.

Hello Aussie delivered GT-R owners :)

I don't own an Aussie one but I'm one of the many that fell in love with them back then as a kid and now at age 37 I have bought a later Japanese import. I picked my completely stock 1993 V-Spec up on the weekend, so I'm in my fifth day of GT-R ownership.

I was wondering if any of you could please let me have a little bit of advice? I want to get a copy of the service and owners manuals in English so that I can maintain and operate the car properly and with the respect that it deserves.

Can you please let me know if this publication looks likely to be the same as the Aussie delivered owners manual? Has anyone bought this item and if so, would you recommend it? Are there any better alternatives?

Any other advice regarding handy documentation to get would be great.

Thankyou very much!

Mike

Question (and sorry if it's been covered before):-

Do you guys discuss with one another what "Sum Insured" your cars are entitled to attract (as a true market value), and thus generate parity?

I would hate to think that by owning a rare item that holds its value and even appreciates, insurance companies would take advantage of disparity and insure your cars at a broad spectrum of what they deem to be 'market value'.

Hi Terry,

Last year when I insured my ADM with Shannon's, I was advised that market value is between 40-60k thus I had the option of insuring my car for whatever price I most comfortable with which affected my annual premium.

To answer your question though...we haven't really shared on the forum what our cars are insured for.

GTR 500 is back for sale?

Finally........ it looks like its sold.

Only 1 ADM for sale at the moment.

Thin picking for anyone who wants to own one.

Hullo Jim

Didn't know there was another Aus delivered in Newcastle. I get a few tyre kickers every now and then, most are dreamers but you never know. If your interested I could tell any serious people about yours being for sale. I wouldn't part with mine for less than $60k but then I might be prejudiced. Shannons had no trouble with a $50k agreed value. email is [email protected] if you want to contact.

You too Bob, give me a note when your up here next, I am in Merewether.

We really should try and get an ADM together.........

I caught up with Jim the other day and he his literally around the corner from you.

BTW....... his car is a beauty.

I'm in Newcastle regularly so i might do that next time up.

Cheers,

Bob.

Well what a week and a half.

Had a timing belt service and all driveline fluids changed.

After a day realised something was wring with radiator neck as it kept trying to slip off and partly did on a drive. Took Hose off and half the neck was missing, broken etc. OK order new Koyo alloy radiator (this was thursday)

Got radiator this morning and installed during the day so now this part is all good. Notice s crap load of grease around drivers side wheel arch, yes my drivers inner cv boot split and spat most of its contents out, so now to sort this out.

When it rains it pours!

Car are fun eh! Good luck with it all though.......

My daughters little Pulsar did that, makes a mess doesn't it!

Yeah its not pretty. I think Marko recently went through the same issue.

wasn't me...my gtr is becoming a bit of a statue which annoys me

Nothing worse than preserving a car for the next owner IMO.

Do we have this red gtr on our register list? Who owns it :) I know its a long shot haha

since nissan would have supported that piece, I'll bet it was one of the prototypes, might even have become one of the toruing cars later when they built more chassis, or maybe it became the pace car/falken car.

100% correct........

From what I can tell, they had about 5-6 of these pre-release vehicles.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
