Thanks for the Add. Just like to say 1992 was the start of my passion for Nissan. My Old Man loves cars lead to many purchases, like Triumph Stag, Ford Cobra, Brock Commodore, Mini Moke, Ford Doc's Coupe, to name a few. But one car ended all that.... a car that you could ask more, and it would deliver plus more. His GTR. Bought as a ..."Demo" ...with 7kms on the clock from Col Crawford's Brookvale. $85,000 "Bargain" ; ) this car has original exhaust, radio and front bar in storage. Had a Nismo exhaust Dealer fitted at the time. It has been stolen 3 times and lost several badges to the screwdriver fairies. Has a factory warranty replacement engine fitted. The reason I've joined apart from the hope of (fingers crossed, finger crossed) one day having the GT passed down to me, is a lot items need replaced like aged amber lens, missing badges, wheel centers, air vents, window mouldings and hopeful we can get it Beast back in order51fd4534fa75b7333f86df4a1e46894b.jpg35d82b2383816d7b72952d120211b608.jpg

The paint looks good.

The things need replacing don't look too hard.

anything different from jdm gtr compared to the australian one? And it was worth 85k$ in '92???? Damn. I thought they were in the 60k$ range in '92.

The qualification for racing was a myth. The homologation for group A was done by the Nismo gun-metal grey model cars in 1990. Also the depreciation must have been crazy (as shown by your Dad's purchase price) on the ADM's at the time due to the Grey import market. There's heaps of info here on the ADM cars and you can post info and pictures of your car as well.

Welcome to the forum :)

I remember thinking it was a Red Batmobile as a teenager when he rock up home with it. Honestly could not understand how fast it cornered (like on rails) at the time. The Brock Commodore or even Mini's paled in comparison. Mind blowingly fast also at the time. Recently he has been offered over $60,000 for it he would have accepted it 5 years ago but then i just tell him to take it for one more drive... not for sale. I'm Evil i know.

ADM GTR's where and always will be worth more. A mint example today is actually worth more than its new asking price. Reason being there was only 100 brought into australia and sold by Nissan Australia. Supply vs demand.  A few things where changed on them to meet adr standards when they arrived in oz, not sure exactly what these where but i'd imagine things like a 3rd brake light, reflectors, that sort of thing. There are other guys on here that could list just about everthing.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
