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.

Hi Duncan,

I think my stepfather did get a quote to have the work done, the details are sketchy it was a number of years ago and it is tough to get an understanding at this point. The car is in Castle Hill, Sydney. I am actually in NZ but my brother is in Sydney and could show you the car if you wanted to have a look. I have always been told that he brought the car new, he is quite pedantic so i would assume everything would be as original as practically possible. I know the stereo stopped working a few years ago and someone nicked the GTR badge off the boot but should be in good condition otherwise. Although it really has been forgotten about for the last few years, as they have had bigger priorities to deal with. We were trying to weigh up whether to fix it and get it back on the road or not before selling but again we have other priorities

Let me know if you want to have a nosey at it, [email protected]

Hi Kasey,

I too live in Castle Hill (Cherrybrook/Dural side) and as an owner of 2 ADM's and one V-Spec 2, I would be only too happy to inspect the car and give you a fair evaluation as to its worth.

I'd love to see Duncan buy the car so rest assured I have no intention of cutting his grass! :worship: :worship: :worship:

I'll send you an email containing my contact details.

Regards,

Bob.

someone posted on the sau fb page that the tail lights were quoted at $1100 so looks like its getting parted for good money for the wrecker.

also someone calling them R34 style lights...... sigh

OK......... Just to clarify,

The owner bought 2 ADMs within 5 days of each other.

The one in the picture is a stolen/recovered, not the car mentioned on here in post 1125.

The tail lights are from a silver car he bought late last year.

To the best of my knowledge, neither car will be wrecked, certainly not the Castle Hill car.

A few pics I took when I inspected the car.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
