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.

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
