Long time browser, first time poster. Been on the lookout for GTR's for the last few months and had contemplated bringing in a car from Japan with a decent looking V Spec I/High KMS Vspec 2 on the cards. Instead an opportunity came up and I just purchased an ADM R32 GTR in Silver. 

Not sure if I made the right decision regarding value/future value etc as they both were around the same cost but obviously not sure if the condition would have been the same etc. Although i'm sure the car from Japan would have come with some nasty surprises.

Congratulations Peter ....... If it is the one from South Australia I think you snatched a bargain.

It lasted less than 24 hours on Carsales/Carpoint.

I spoke to the owner and confirmed the build as number #51/100.......

I aslo advised him that the quoted colour splits were wrong. They are 45 Red, 30 Black and 25 Silver........ I know of at least 3 silver ones that have gone to god in the last 4 years, let alone what has happened to them in the 21 years prior. At the price you would have paid you can't lose.

What State/City are you in?

Cheers,

Bob.

Hey Bob,

Im in Sydney NSW.

I was actually going to ask about the front badge and how would you possibly source another one as it hasn't got the original Nissan badge but rather the S badge like on imports. Im hoping that they are of similar sizing to other Nissan cars but I think that it won't be. I also have to find some original seats that I will put back in at some time in the future as they were retrimmed in quality leather but i'm a sucker for originality.

Well that is reassuring, thank you for the insightful information! Didn't ever think id end up with an ADM especially given the precedent set this year at Shannons. 

I'll post some pictures when it arrives.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

The part number for the front badge is  6289262C00

Unfortunately the part has not been available for quite a while.

You can get a very similar badge off a period correct Pulsar/Exa or similar but it is slightly different.

That said it is closer than the "S" badge from the JDM's.

Send me a PM when it arrives and if you would like me to have a look at the car for you and help compile a list of "fixes" I'd be only too happy to help.

I have 2-3 main suppliers of used parts and 4-5 suppliers of new parts so usually between all of them we can go close to getting most things.

That said, some things are a hell of a lot harder to get than they were 18 months ago.

Anyway, drop me a line when she arrives.

Cheers,

Bob.

I saw that advert and also noticed the colour split was incorrect. Good job Bob :)

All ADM 's were 1991 builds so most likely an import but please post up more info so we can confirm.

    • 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?
