Yeah....... This is what happened during the Muscle Car boom of 2005-2007. Every time a silly price was listed, people laughed....... Until the car sold! Then a higher silly price etc etc.

We desperately need some high priced cars to sell to set some kind of bench mark but there are so few of these floating around they almost stay under the radar.

Bob.

It's the Mark Skaife Car......Funny he dosen't mention that.

It's owned by an Antique dealer I believe.

Bob.

He does Bob in the brief comments in the ad, then goes on to state that the OZ wheels where changed by Skaife;

"Brief Comments 1991 Nissan Skyline GTR32 Ex Gibson Motor Sport, Mark Sfaife's personal road car in as new cond."

I would be interested at around half the $130K asking price, but that would be underselling it I suppose, given its the lowest km ADM been publicly offered with only 14,000 Km's, completely original and seems to be in mint condition. Time will tell however!

Perhaps we should have a poll on what we think it's worth? ( Open to current owners only!)

Closest experience to being able to buy one brand new I would imagine.

I honestly believe that the aussie muscle car boom was driven tbecause there were so many potential buyers and fans out there. Even the 'investors' I reckon were still fans of these cars.

And to be realistic there aren't too many fans of gtrs that aren't on this forum.

Don't get me wrong, I have loved these since the day I was on my push bike as a kid and saw a burgundy one go past me in Dural, and still really enjoy my car after a decade of having it but $130K is defineatly rich if you me.

I drove to bathurst in mine a couple of weeks ago (had never been on the road) and could't beleive a terrific the circuit really is. Couldn't do anything silly with other traffic and soooo many walkers and pedestrians around but would love to do a few laps on an open track day!

1) 'Twas also given a decent rundown on Motive DVD #11 by Andrew Hawkins.

2) More pics of her in the Archives section of SAU R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary

3) More pics of her in Performance Imports magazine #133 re: 21st Anniversary

Gorgeous car - ugly price - or is it? To become part of the Jay Leno or Billy Joel collection perhaps?

Even if I was able to afford it, there'd be no way I'd able to justify paying 130k for an ADM R32 GT-R ....

It wouldn't concern me whether a car was ADM or JDM as long as its in immaculate non-accident condition because essentially the vehicles will perform/feel exactly the same.


Theres a JDM R32 GTR for sale at the moment with a genuine 10,000kms on the odometer and with an asking price of $50,000 - which will decrease given the demand for a road-registered supercars is very low at the moment. If I was given $130,000 and I had to pick one of the two, I'd rather pick up the JDM model and save myself the $80,000.....heck I could buy the JUN Akira Supra or an R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur with the leftover money

I was considering a ADM recently and it was $46,000 with 81,000kms. I don't think $70,000 would be unreasonable for one in such good condition/low kms.

How much is Mark Skaife's ownership worth? Who knows.........

There is one (referred to in other posts and below) with approx 2500kms in Japan. I considered the white one they also have for sale till I realised it wasn't a V Spec.

$130K for an ADM R32 GTR :woot:

Yeah.....no.

Don't care if it was previously owned or driven by Mark Skaife or her majesty the Queen.

Cannot justify to spend that amount of money just for a stock R32 GTR which is essentially going to need to be restored at some point in time.

May as well save a bit more and buy an Aussie delivered R35 GT-R and see what kind of ROI you can get in 20 years time.

for your grand kids kids maybe. But you won't be turning that into any huge profit in our lifetime :)

But agree with the guy above you. For $130k i would have a play with the 32 and buy a 35. Compared to a 32 i would be too scared to reverse out of the drive. Every time you roll that thing out you'd be eating into your investment.

My opinion aside, good luck to the guy, would be great for 32's if he gets anywhere near that.

is anybody familiar with this ADM?it was by fluke that i came across this example on google images

I have seen this R32 GTR in one of my HPI magazine. I think it was used as a reference to show what a good skyline is suppose to look like.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
