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.

    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
    • F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
