Aussie Delivered R32 Gtr's

[Marko R1]

ant - it is registered in qld so you might be right

bob - why would an aust delivered gtr have a private import plate on it if it was sold locally?

[Marko R1]

I'm surprised the Ex-Packer car hasn't sold. I bet you it's next..........

Bob.

Oh...... Sorry, the penny just dropped. I didn't realize we were talking about the same car.

That's really weird. We should ask him what it is.

My apologies for jumping to conclusions as we know the car is an ADM. You are right, I haven't seen it on any other ADM either.

Bob.

PS: Second best colour.............. :thumbsup:

Hi guys,

Apologies for not replying earlier. Here's a shot of my GTR's identification plate. According to the Chassis no. it is number 9 of 50 from the first batch.

Will get more pics and more details when time permits.

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Brad,

There is a sneaky early number that appears later in the range so many people (including myself) all thought their cars were one build earlier than they actually are.

If you check my attached list I think you will find that your car is actually build number 10.

Regards,

Bob.

Id say thats the mod plate for the cage Bob.

closer pics of that plate above the engine are required. the one on the left is the standard japanese build plate on every GTR I've seen

[Marko R1]

That's right duncan, blue plate on drivers side is standard gtr plate

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the clarification! I was going off the Nissan Dealer Network Bulletin PDF that was floating around.

Now a little bit about the car.

The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and I believe the work was done at Kevin Bartletts Workshop(around the 2002-2004 timeframe, I bought the car in late 2004).

I'm not 100% sure what was done but I do know the following parts were put in : N1 water pump, N1 oil pump, baffle sump, turbos were rebuilt and hi-flowed, some suspension work, apexi-powerfc, electronic boost controller, pod filters.

I've done some minor things since owning it: SARD injectors(the old ones were leaking), Z32 AFMs(the original ones were faulty causing the car to go into limp mode), Splitfire coilpacks(the old ones were arcing).

Cheers,

Brad

Hi Duncan,

Well the chassis number is one of the numbers on Nissan Tech Bulletin, but fair point.

Here you go.

Cheers,

Hi Brad....to be clear, I was not questioning the authenticity of the car, just pointing out the blue plate on the left is on every GTR. There was a discussion around the other blue plate above the motor and what it covers (not the nissan build plate you have posted up either).

What is on the other blue plate above the motor? I don't remember having seen one of those before

[OZR32GTR]

Hey there Duncan,

No dramas at all. I don't have any other plates, the blue one in the photo is on the left side and the other two plates are on the right side but there is nothing above the motor. Will confirm it tonight.

Cheers,

Brad

ive been thinking about why that silver gtr has an import plate above the engine cover & here is my synopsis:

taking into consideration that kerry packer owned this car, he 'may' have ordered his adm gtr from japan & delivery took place before they were actually complied to be sold locally - maybe or maybe not?

I've just ordered mine from www.pitstop.net.au but I think this is a must for all of us!

Pitstop bookstore in Perth as recomended by your link. Excellent speedy service. One of the interesting things from reading is the Gibson racing cars were not from the "100" but made from shells sent from Japan. Great read. Thanks,

Rob.
