Congratulations on your purchase. I kept my eye on that car and noticed it was off Carsales early last week.

I too have two GT-R's, a 100% stock ADM and a slightly modified V-Spec 2.

As good as the VS2 is, the stock ADM is just so nice.........

Light clutch, super quite, nice ride.........

The VS2 is substantially faster but a lot more tiring to drive. Louder, a lot stiffer and harsher in the suspension plus a firmer clutch.

Cheers and enjoy........ Bob.

Hi Guys - another ADM has changed hands - after a lot of research I took the plunge and bought build #11260 - now I know it isn't part of the 100, but I reckon it is still a special car. It's original apart from a droney 3" exhaust and a chip. I'm the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it off had it for 17 years! He was as unhappy as I was happy when I picked it up....

Came with the original wheels which haven't been on the car since the 90's - they are perfect, it's on a set of Simmons wheels at the moment - I'll keep them on for normal driving and get the real ones on for club stuff. Only fault with the car are stone chipping to the front end and a tear in the drivers seat bolster - and a small dent in the door which I'll get repaired. Any suggestions on repairing the upholstery - it's a common problem, hopefully someone here has solved it already?

The story is that this car was also used as a press car and as Bob has already said evaluation purposes for Nissan - so I suppose you could say that this car is the reason that there are 100 other ADM's !

I'm a happy lad - been a dream since watching ATCC back in the early 90's to own one, looking forward to garaging her next to my '68 1600 - wifes' Volvo is out in the rain....

Thanks guys, and yes bob I am in the same boat as you, I much prefer the quiet, comfortable feel of the Aus delivered one, no rigid suspension, light& forgiving clutch, aircon, comfortable seats and last but not least a car that can be driven nice & pleasantly like a normal car...

It's amazing how you go to town on mods with some cars and just loose all the simple traits that are the very reason why you chose that particular car in the first place.

I have a part that some Of you guys may be able to confirm its origin for me, it's a wastegate of a Australian 32 GTR race car, I purchased it off a guy with the story so It could just be a stretched tale but it looks quite legit, it suits the era, is a factory Nissan item & has the tamper wire still connected in place...

I'll have to get a pic tomororow...

Going to have to say, the external gate story is pretty far fetched. Group A Gibson GTRs didn't use external gates, neither did the HR31 or DR30s. In fact an external gate would have been blatantly illegal in group A rules.

In fact the only one that comes to mind that I know did were the GrpC bluebirds. Dunno about Exa, never got a real good look at it.

"Tamper" wire is just tie wire, to prevent bolts coming undone, it serves no regulatory purpose.

Now, remember that Nissan also ran many prototype style turbo cars with external gates, and provided engines for many more chassis. No doubt a cool piece, but the story doesn't add up. :)

Hi All,

Better add myself to this list. Happy to be the new owner of the the ADM Bob has had for sale.

Safely delivered here to Perth on Friday and have enjoyed in over the weekend. Bob did an exceptional job bringing it to near showroom condition.

Only thing I'd like to do right now is put back in a standard clutch and get rid of the short shift. Happy new R32 owner here :) Looks like there has been a few of us lately.

Cheers

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
