Hey Bob nice 2 page spread in latest Unique Cars mag

LOL.........Looks like an abbreviated reprint from the 5 page feature I did a few years ago. I'll get it tomorrw but I certainly didn't know they were doing it until I read your post.

Cheers,

Bob.

No mention of the ADM selling in the spring Shannon's auction?

50k

http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Yeah....... I was at the auction and was a little dissapointed that it didn't go for a bit more. I thought it was certainly worth $55K but I guess that's just the way it goes.

I'm not sure if Jim the seller is still on the forum but if he is I'd be interested to know who bought it, what state the buyer is from and just any other info he may be able to provide. Privacy laws do make it hard to find out much.

If the new owner is on this forum then please PM me as I'd love to make contact.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ok so here are the photos. I can be contacted on 0409930177 for those that are interested. The car has a non factory stereo and a cat-back exhaust, besides that it's unmodified.

Car is off the market, I have decided to keep it. On another note I have managed to pick up an original Clarion stereo head unit for it :)

There is a new one up on carsales, $46.5k, 180k on the clock, good nick. Cant copy/paste for some reason. jkr100.

Here we go...... Looks good for the kms its travelled......

75 yr old owner - just awesome :)

LOL...... That will be me in 24 years time!

Check this out but make sure you have sound. The last 7-8 seconds in particular.

Good luck with the sale.

I went in my mates black r35...what a piece of engineering, absolutely phenomenal!

I will join u 1 day but I can't part with my ADM hence acquiring my r35 will take longer than i originally anticipated.

I hope you find a good home for her Brad, and you get a nice deal done. The 35's are awesome, that acceleration!

If possible, could you make the new owner aware of this thread.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

I had a bit of a win today...........

I had to go to Pick and Payless to get a part for my daughters car.

I sniffed around and found a 1992 Nissan Maxima.

This was in the dash...... Got the plugs too.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
    • It is not a dual mass flywheel, so you will get some gear noise on a BNR34 unless you deviate from the OEM fluid spec and run a thick gear oil like what Nismo recommended for a while. Unfortunately I have never weighed the flywheel by itself prior to installation but it is not that light. It's probably an 8-9 kg flywheel. OEM BNR34 dual mass flywheel is like 14 kg which is kind of hilariously heavy. 
    • Got around to installing the Tomei Cam Cap Studs and the Hypertune cam baffles/splash guards. Unfortunately, I was not aware that the cam cap studs do not clear the stock RB25 internal cam cover baffles. Some research found a set from boostdoc which includes a replacement cam cover baffle and full length cam baffle + tools and fasteners. but I'm not keen on re-buying what I have already bought. So the plan is to take the hard route and modify the existing cam cover baffles to clear both the cam cap studs and the hypertune cam baffle plate. I assume there must be people who have gone through this even just to convert from cam cap bolts to cam cap studs? If so any tips would be appreciated. Otherwise I think I will mark where the cam cap studs foul, drill clearance holes in the cam cover baffle, and remove the cam cover baffle oil returns to clear the  hypertune baffle plate. I will also need to remove the baffle and drill and tap threads to bolt it back on so i can clean out any swarf. Fuel tank foam as extra cam cover baffling?
    • The incoming weather event seems to be affecting people in weird ways....🤣 And no, whilst there is some fancy engineering going on, I have no real interest in anything rotary really I had a Capella in the 90's, the rotary engine is way to temperamental, and extremely thirsty for my liking  If I won lotto and wanted to waste a ton of cash, a boosted K-swap would be what I would look at, until then, the N/A MZR2.5 will be at home in the engine bay of the NC A build like this, just without the idiotic street pulls and skids would be interesting to waste a huge amount of money on https://youtu.be/EgqAoVtUD1E?si=n3_umivrUPP8C9Cs
