ADM GTR #28

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.

If i were you i wouldnt be doing any modifications to it. Return all to factory spec. Get a proper professional detail, repair any issues with new oem parts and enjoy your appreciating asset. These cars are now an investment.

Engine all looks stock but engine is 500 hp with Ball bearing turbos now and obviously Nismo exhaust. Could all be put back to stock with original parts with the exclusion of turbos

    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
    • wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
