Hi All,

Just found out about this from Unique Cars.

I own one as follows:

Colour: Jet Silver (I always thought it was "Silver Blue")

Delivered: October 92

Sold: 20/10/92

Number: 22 of 100 (16048)

Kms: 160,000

Dealership: Gary Rogers Nissan, Springvale Vic

Owners: 1 (me)

Purchased: October 92

Locale: Melbourne, Vic.

Car is essentially stock apart from some minor comfort improvements (Recaro seat, Alarm, 6x9 rear speakers)

Mechanical changes include Group N brake rotors (i.e. undrilled - the originals kept cracking), Bilsteins - after originals finally went to god), HD clutch (after original went 155,000 km)).

I've kept all original bits - even the old shocks which have "GT-R" stickers on them.

Fell in love (lust?) with the GTR after a Drive Day in 1992 at Calder when Jim Richards showed what the car could do.

Clear memory of being taken to a shed out the back of Gary Rogers to pick mine from a line of 7 - 6 Red and one Silver. The Silver is a great colour and shows the lines of the car beautifully.

It's never left me stranded and has been driven vigorously at times (although not any more). Issues have all been relatively minor - cracked injectors (par for Nissan of that era), Airflow meters (fixed myself - bad soldering), broken exhaust studs. Currently has a minor leak in the front main seal that I'll have fixed when cam belt changed next (soon). Engine / Turbos as tight as the day it was bought, thanks to lots of good synthetic oil, no doubt. Of course, I have the full service history.

I'll see if I can dig out some photos.

Regards,

Dave.

Welcome Dave,

Thanks for the thorough update. I'm glad the Unique Cars article found a new member.

Contrary to what was written and believed, I think silver cars are pretty thin on the ground.

Make sure you post up some pics when you can.

BTW: I presume you reside in Victoria?

Cheers,

Bob.

[smithy2167]

Forgot to say that I know of a number of other cars here in Melbourne / Victoria.

In particular, Glenn Ridge has a very low mileage (3000 km) Red one which received the Gibson Motorsport treatment including Simmons wheels. I saw it a few months ago at the R35 Drive Day at Phillip Island. He got it in a deal from Nissan when they were giving away Pulsars on the TV show he hosted (Sale of the Century). He drove it down to PI, but said that the drive was a bit lumpy for the first bit as the tyres had flat spots. Mustn't get much use!

There's also another red one in pristine condition residing in an inner Melbourne suburb. I'll see if I can drum up the details.

Regards,

Dave.

[smithy2167]

Here are some photos given to me after a photo shoot of the car for a retro article in Motor in August 2003. It also appeared in a Wheels "Top 100 Cars" article in Dec 2003.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Gday Dave,

THanks for adding your car to the register, if you get the details for the other red one that would be great. Nissan (who still havent got back to me) might be interested in doing a formal register on these vehicles. Im really glad Unique put SAU up in the newsletter, Ill owe Scott a beer I reckon.

Cheers,

Ken

hi dave & welcome aboard the ADM train

what a great story you have shared with us! being a silver ADM owner myself, it is wonderful seeing another fantastic example of a SILVER gtr as there are not many around (i'd still like to know the colour split between the 3 colours but we cant find this info unfortunately) & yes i do agree with you that this colour really shows the lines off very well.

i know this DWS plate & i think there were other pics of your gtr i saw next to an r35? i am also familiar with the bad soldering of the afm's - quite painful until u find the source.

i still have not seen this unique ADM register you guys are talking about, unless i am mistaken & this was mentioned in bobs recent article?

All these adm's with factory wheels makes me want to put my factory wheels back on

They look tough yet understated!

[gtr fan]

Nice car Dave with the 1 owner being a big wow factor!

There was another buyers guide done a GTR's in Unique Cars in June 2003 issue. They used a silver ADM NSW rego AEL16K.

i really like the blurb they have used on the shannons website - i think i might add this to my signature

The Porsche 959 was Nissan's target when designing the R32 GT-R. Chief engineer Naganori Itoh intended to use the car for Group A racing, so the design specification was drawn up in conjunction with a copy of the Group A rules. The Nurburgring Nordschleife production car record at the time of development was 8min 45sec set by a Porsche 944, but Nissan's test driver Hiroyoshi Katoh reset the record with a time of 8min 20sec.The GT-R achieved its sensational performance with twin ceramic turbochargers, which boosted power of the car's 2.6-litre straight-six engine to more than 300 horsepower at 6,800rpm, but this was deliberately understated due to the Japanese carmakers' 'gentlemen's agreement' at the time not to exceed 276 hp (206kW).All-wheel steering and electronically controlled all wheel drive based on the system developed for the Porsche 959 resulted in a serious supercar that is still revered today.The R32 GT-R was introduced in to the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1990 and promptly ended the reign of the previously all-conquering Ford Sierra Cosworth, winning at Bathurst in 1991 and 1992. This success led to the Australian motoring press nicknaming the car Godzilla due to it being a "monster from Japan". As Australia was the first export market for the car the name quickly spread. Such was GT-R's dominance that it was a significant factor in the demise of Group A Touring Car racing, the formula being scrapped soon after.

There's also another red one in pristine condition residing in an inner Melbourne suburb.

Update: The red car is 017039 - number 76. The current owner has had it for more than 10 years.

Ooh I saw this the other week! It was from quite a distance so I didn't realise it was an ADM at the time, good work
