So in 5 years, the value has doubled.

Sums insured for a nice R32 GT-R V-Spec N1 will be over $90,000 this year.

R32 GT-R N1s in good condition command a Sum Insured value of 105K as of early 2016.

For those who are interested...

My R34 GT-R V-Spec N1 VIN# + MODEL# + other data have been decoded and...

* It's the 1st N1 made after a pre-production run of 6

* Essentially, it's the 7th therefore made by Nissan

* Nissan never did end up making 45 V-Spec N1s. There are less.

* Many thanks to my friends who have put time into this research - which is like pulling teeth.

I for one, would like to see if the N. Americans lock onto the ADMs in due course!

i dont think there is an appetite for the ADM outside of Aust personally - it really means nothing to the non Australian - then again, they may see the relationship between the ADM and the ATCC series (winfield/gio gtr)

Wow, just wow. Terry your collection is so amazingly drool worthy. Enjoy it ! I still have close to a decade before I'm able to trade up from my 32. As for the ADM cars appealing to North Americans, you'd think it'd be the Australians gobbling them up, but there is an incredible desire for anything "different" or "individual" here, as soon as they are labeled Rare, watch the buying frenzy. Just for comparison, I paid 21,000 USD for my 90 GTR, with 68000kms (Shokan verified). That was 4 months ago. I've been offered 30,000 numerous times now. The prices are still increasing.

I recently imported a 1997 40th anniversary model R33 Turbo it's got the "smart" ignition coils not above the engine but near firewall. Ceramic compressor, pistol grip gear nob / overdrive,radio/cassette player, R34 standard rims, sway bar in boot,custom badged interior def quite a few differences to a usual R33. The ignition coils were the most significant change I can see.

No idea how many were made, prob not as rare as GTR models.

When did you get the 33 Terry?

Ta....... Bob.

Iron Chef brought this in last month Bob.

They had it visually inspected under and over before auction. It's the first rust free example they've seen for a while and Troy was very pleased.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
