Hi Guys,

As an owner of one of the 100 Australian delivered R32 GT-R's I was curious to know if the R32 enthusiasts in Japan know it even exists?

If so does it get mentioned as something special or unusual?

Or.... is it like America whereby anything that relates to overseas doesn't matter?

Considering these 100 ADM cars were the only R32's that Japan ever exported I thought they may have created a little bit of interest.

Any feedback on this topic would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Bob.

PS........ Here are some attached pics which will help you see the differences with the JDM.

  • 2 months later...

It appears that the ADM r32 has an external antenna on the roof...makes sense..my fm reception is poor most of the times...

Yes the reception is poor through the aerial in the front screen and even worse when you run a band expander as I do (in my JDM) as I have the original radio cassette in there.

The ADM's got the Bosch centre roof aerial matched with the upgraded stereo system from the Maxima.

Works heaps better, no comparison.

Bob.

Hey Bob, that's a mint example you got there ! :thumbsup:

I didn't know of the ADMs myself, certainly appears to be a rare collectible

Really?! How did you not know about it when you bought one? :laugh:

Or you just assumed they all were JDM R32 GTR's imported?

I dont think they really know or care about the ADM, as they had 43000 units pumping out over 5 years to keep'em busy.

And as most if not all not don't know about the term JDM, I dont think ADM been talked about much.

The other day i had a read on the john, and stumbled across your ADM in Unique Cars magazine. Well i read the article, then read this thread and noticed the plates matched, as did the name bob, Thats when i realised it was you.

Every clean paint , Every nice car. That has to be one of the tidiest 32 gtr's around

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
