For those who may find this interesting, here is a copy of a post I made in the Skyline Specific section covering ADM's.

Hi Guys,

Here are a few more direct comparisons. I was at Sydney Dragway today and a mate of mine with an ADM parked next to my JDM. I was going to do this comparison with my ADM but having his car there I thought I'd post up a pic or two.

As previously posted, you can see the rear tail light configuration is different.

The ADM gets vinyl sun visors as opposed to the JDM which gets velour covered ones.

Skyline badge on the bonnet vs Nissan badge.

The ADM gets factory fitted 300ZX side blinkers, JDM gets generic Bosch or Mitsubishi blinkers.

ADM gets High/Low dimmer switch, JDM gets fog light switch.

As also stated before, ADM gets Blaupunct/Bosch Auto Flex centre roof aerial.

There are many more changes that I'll document one I guess a chance.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post a bit of an update with some pics.......

The trim and bodywork is pretty much completed all bar a bit of touch up stuff.

I'd say we are 95% of the way there but there are always things that could be improved.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ey mate I know your after a 32 but just to let you know there is a stock midnight purple r33 v-spec listed yesterday for $16,300. I recognized it and remembered it was listed not so long ago for $19000 in Newcastle. Which I messaged him and confirmed. So it's a bargain but just be cautious.. Too soon to be reselling but definately worth a look!!! Cheap cheap.

Looks very clean in those pics inside & outside, shame on the bubble in the dash other than that it looks very neat & tidy.

You've done a great job.

LOL........ Replacement NON BUBBLE dash going in tomorrow afternoon.........

Bob. :yes: :yes: :yes:

I guess you've just about achieved what you wanted with this car, great job Bob.

Nearly........

I'm just looking at a few fabric dying options as the front seats are still not quite in a condition that I want and then a decent security system and THAT'S IT!

Went and saw Daniel at Carbon Car Systems at Blacktown on Saturday and settled on a premium Viper system.

June 30 was always going to be my deadline........ I must admit I'm so sick of forking out money every month restoring this poor thing. The budget is blown and what I've done in 4 months most people would do in 2 years so it is rather stressful.........

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
