Hi Marko

I've got too many at the moment plus a car trailer I bought this week. Space is a problem.

Option 1. Selling the Skyline and the Senator and keeping the R30, then buying a ute or one tonner as a tow vehicle.

Option 2. Selling the Skyline, the Senator and the wife's Forester, keeping the R30, then buying a larger 4WD as a tow vehicle.

Option3. Keep everything and get comments about looking like a car yard.

U are the 3rd gtr owner who also owns a forester for the wife...great cars.

Well....... I would have very nearly been the 4th!

My wife had the choice of either a Forester or Liberty as her new company car 2 weeks ago....... Ended up with the Liberty 2.5 Premium wagon. Great car. Heaps better than the sh!tty Camry she had.

What's wrong with a car yard? I have 5 cars........ Nightmare but I can't bring myself to consolidate. I just can't find 3 (let alone 2) cars that will tick all the box's of 4 plus the daily I own.

Cheers,

Bob.

What is your collection bob?

Camrys are crap, aurion is nice though. My brother has 1 and it absolutely flies for what it is.

1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R ADM

1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R JDM

1997 Mercedes Benz SL 600 V12 (Kerry Packers Car)

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS

Bob.

Very nice bob. Kerry packer loved his gtr's as we all know.

Sanderson's Mercedes is the Packer's preferred Merc dealer from whom I purchased the car.

The Dealer principal (owners son) recalls Packer coming into the showroom in 1997 and parking a burgundy GT-R in the middle of the service centre when enquiring about the car. It was a special build by Mercedes for the 1997 Sydney International Motor Show.It had $12,000 worth of options and cost Packer $397,000!

I have all the purchase documents and fax communications all on Consolidated Press letter heads.

It's one of 38 SL 600's that was officially brought into Australia by Mercedes during its model span - 1993-2001.

Well done Uncle Duncan.

I read an article on the 10 most desirable Jap cars to own in unique cars, they estimate that the good ADM cars will be back up to their purchase price in 10 years.

For anyone interested, mine is going to be auctioned in Shannons Sydney auction. Its listed on their page.

Good Luck Jim......

Here's the link to the auction - http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Bob.

Can anyone get a similar photo done of their ADM (mines in hiding) from the right rear qtr, check the numberplate holder section, its a good indication if its legit.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
