For those who may find this interesting, here is a copy of a post I made in the Skyline Specific section covering ADM's.

Hi Guys,

Here are a few more direct comparisons. I was at Sydney Dragway today and a mate of mine with an ADM parked next to my JDM. I was going to do this comparison with my ADM but having his car there I thought I'd post up a pic or two.

As previously posted, you can see the rear tail light configuration is different.

The ADM gets vinyl sun visors as opposed to the JDM which gets velour covered ones.

Skyline badge on the bonnet vs Nissan badge.

The ADM gets factory fitted 300ZX side blinkers, JDM gets generic Bosch or Mitsubishi blinkers.

ADM gets High/Low dimmer switch, JDM gets fog light switch.

As also stated before, ADM gets Blaupunct/Bosch Auto Flex centre roof aerial.

There are many more changes that I'll document one I guess a chance.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post a bit of an update with some pics.......

The trim and bodywork is pretty much completed all bar a bit of touch up stuff.

I'd say we are 95% of the way there but there are always things that could be improved.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ey mate I know your after a 32 but just to let you know there is a stock midnight purple r33 v-spec listed yesterday for $16,300. I recognized it and remembered it was listed not so long ago for $19000 in Newcastle. Which I messaged him and confirmed. So it's a bargain but just be cautious.. Too soon to be reselling but definately worth a look!!! Cheap cheap.

Looks very clean in those pics inside & outside, shame on the bubble in the dash other than that it looks very neat & tidy.

You've done a great job.

LOL........ Replacement NON BUBBLE dash going in tomorrow afternoon.........

Bob. :yes: :yes: :yes:

I guess you've just about achieved what you wanted with this car, great job Bob.

Nearly........

I'm just looking at a few fabric dying options as the front seats are still not quite in a condition that I want and then a decent security system and THAT'S IT!

Went and saw Daniel at Carbon Car Systems at Blacktown on Saturday and settled on a premium Viper system.

June 30 was always going to be my deadline........ I must admit I'm so sick of forking out money every month restoring this poor thing. The budget is blown and what I've done in 4 months most people would do in 2 years so it is rather stressful.........

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
