Stock rims Terry.

Bob, surely the owner wouldn't be dumb enough to drive a car with plates registered for a Ford, taking into account today's number plate recognition technology police cars are fitted with? Then again I've seen some crazier things.

Hi Marco,

The number plate recognition will only sound alarm bells if a car is unregistered/stolen or anything that relates to that plate.

It doesn't know the car model.

Unless the policeman does an individual check on the car, nothing will happen.

I did a QLD and VIC check of that plate and nothing came up there either.

Presumably the 1959 relates to his birth year and his initials........ Another old fart driving an ADM! :yes::yes::yes::yes:

Bob.

My wife claimed to the see the same car a few weeks ago in chullora but I was sceptical. She heard it run and said it had work done to it...she knows her GTRs as I educated her well.

Aren't I a good man :)

I must that she is a rev head.

About 10yrs ago when I first had my ADM, she raced a yellow ford xygt which was highly modified and absolutely anihiliated it from a set of traffic lights...I was extremely proud :)

She also raced it around Wakefield and I couldn't believe the control she had when it was drifting all 4 wheels in 2nd and 3rd gear...I wasn't a good passenger and I have this on video.

Looks like another ADM has hit the market but unfortunately with next to no info............

Yes, very light on detail!

So, the old girl is back with me, in my garage. its been in storage for about 12 months. Had 2 leaky valves and a flat battery. Drove beautifully, had no problems. That's a pretty good result for a 24yo car that hasn't been out for 12 months.

No airco though, ambient got up to 40.5c, steamy.

Hi Guys,

Just after some advice.

My stepfather owns an Aussie 91 R32 GTR which he unfortuantely due to sickness he can no longer drive. We are looking at selling it as it has just been sitting in the garage for at least the last four years. I am trying to get an idea of it's value and what a good website to sell it would be.

It's red, done 225K's and in good condition with the exception of the engine. I was told the turbo/s failed and have scratched the cylinder bore. Turbo or turbos have been replaced but the head needs some work. it was driven home and parked in the garage and has sat there since.

Just seen a black adm number plates PL 120 on cumberland hwy heading towards greystanes will put up a photo when im home

spotted old mate tonight, on the M4. good to see it out and about :)

BTW Kasey reduce the average sale prices by 10-15k for the blown motor and you'll be about right. Not sure who came to the conclusion that head work is required, it is almost certainly a bottom end rebuild that is required including new bearings and probably boring out the cylinders to remove the scores (which will also require aftermarket oversize pistons). Not a big deal, but not minor either...been there, done that before

Where is the car, I've been keeping an eye out for something that has original bits but needs some work.

Also, this forum is probably the best place to sell it to a genuine buyer that understands why it is worth more than imported GTRs.

Just got the heads up....... This one will be listed tonight!

Wait until you see the price.

Bob.

Took 7 months to sell but it has.

Lovely car!

Bob.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
