If I was a mining magnate, I'd be aiming for an R35 minimum or just go straight to the top and get a Veyron. There would be a 2 door A9X sitting next to that as well. Talk about having 2 cars which are world's apart in many ways :)

Richard - was the owner you spoke to the second owner?

Yes - It wasn't Skaife, It was Terry

His wife drives the GTR R34 Vspecii Nur very well.

(and she likes my 32 a lot which made me feel all good inside)

Edit: I would have put money on Bob buying it :thumbsup:

Looks like the R34 GTR NUR also advertised by the same owner is also unavailable.

So the cheapest ADM 32 on the market is $45k. Is this the benchmark starting point from here on?

No....... The Newcastle car is still there..... http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=SSE-AD-2034330&Cr=3

Bob.

Yeah........ Sorry my mistake.

Yes.... but that car has been for sale for ages.

We simply need a great example to go through a Shannons auction and the sold price becomes the yardstick.

It will happen in time, It always does.

Bob.

Exactly, that gtr is not a good benchmark due to high km, respray is not factory colour, reupholstered seats and general wear & tear looks like it has been used a lot BUT at least the owner enjoyed the car :)

I more looking at the dollars. If high k average cars are starting at $45k then I am a happy man, but then again, someone actually needs to buy it for around that money to make it real.

I understand that Shannon's had issue's getting over $40k for the last ADM they had at Auction (18months to 2yrs back?)

Has anyone managed to have theirs insured for over say $45k over this time?

I also believe they don't insure JDM's no matter the condition for over $35k.

I bought my ADM for $53,500 from a Shannons Auction in November 2010 so they could hardly argue about the price.

The last one that sold through them is owned by a forum member.

IMHO - Good original cars with low mileage (under 60,000 kms) that are fully documented are worth $60K, so make adjustments from that base price.

Bob.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
