Thanks guys. Very happy with the car so far.
It will skid eventually, with a few 'tweaks'. I will drive it as intended (hard and good). Unfortunately the car has a run in period of about 2000kms
Love the Black coloured spoiler! (Is it a Matte / Satin finish?)
Looks so good on a White car.It is dry carbon. Looks killer in person....and is an 18k part to order.

Hi guys,
As you all know, previous GTR black edition was written off due to a moron...but that's what insurance is for.
Due to limited availability, we had to order a new R35 from Japan. The wait is finally over and it was picked up last week. FTG Nissan were an absolute pleasure to deal with and I can highly recommend them.
Currently in the run in period.
Please find below pics. Black Edition looks better in white IMO (but I'm biased now lol). Thanks.

it's hard to argue a fair point why they should be allowed isn't it?
I mean we all no the Middle East / Arabic countries aren't accepting of western ways but the west is supposed to embrace everything they want?
double standards much?
Fallacious argument. Would you also be opposed to people dressing as say...goths, or clowns?
Is there an Australian way to dress? Or 'not dress' rather? Do you see where I'm going with this?
The home grown terrorism in France is linked to a few factors, including, but not limited to:
- Large ('legal') Muslim population that has been isolated and discriminated against.
- Aforementioned population largely of low socio-economic status.
- Capitilisation by Wahabi/Salafi organisations, particularly so when it comes to disgruntled, unemployed, isolated youth.
As you can see, the issue is multli-faceted, It is pretty absurd to imply that immigration itself is the issue, it shows that you have an exceedingly superficial understanding of why home grown terrorism occurs.

This type of thing totally terrifies me. If you can't afford insurance, get the bus. You will ruin your life by writing off something pricey.
Hell, a bloke wrote off my Father-in-law's MGB GT in the eighties and the at-fault driver made a deal to pay $n every month (Father-in-law was very accommodating) - it took him 12 years to pay it off! Imagine what he and his family could have had to go without during that period if my FIL wasn't so relaxed.
Frightening.
I don't think people really understand the risks, as having an accident is considered a low risk thing to happen (in their minds).
Depending on what car you hit, you could end up paying off a motorbike, a block of land or even a house.
But you and I are normal people, clearly not everyone thinks like this to be honest lol.
Your FIL was patient, I'd not have waited 12 years.

No idea bud.
Not fussed to be honest, I got paid out, they'll do what they have to.
Fortunately for him, the wreck sold for decent money. The car has been bought by a gentleman in Sydney who will repair it.

I understand you as your view is that of someone that is convinced by the propaganda and fear.
If you really are interested in the science a based truth then I suggest you read this:
Here is a link to some extracts.
He is very thorough on his approach and backs everything up with data.
If you don't, then all good, just believe the political deception.
Ummm, not propaganda and fear, but science. Besides, what do I have to fear, this issue is one that will be felt by future generations.
Further, most people would argue that complete denial is the true political deception. BTW even the LNP concede that there is such thing as climate change, they just have a different approach to the matter (due to powerful lobbying from big polluters).
-
Suppose that's the difference between theoretical science and the real world. There is geological evidence that this is not the first time the climate has changed, in actual fact if this is just natural flux in the atmospheric conditions then it is quite subtle as there is real geological evidence that the climate has changed much more abruptly due to a natural equalisation. But then again who cares about the past right, its just evidence.
If you are really interested in this topic I suggest you have a look at geological studies of Greenland, Norway, and Canadian 5km core drilling through glaciers that will offer a far more accurate representation of past climatic events and give a more accurate insight into what is to be expected in the future rather than depending on a mathematical model that often needs be be changed because of inaccuracy.
I understand that, but it is a political issue that tries to lay blame on humans for the slight change in the climate as if it is the first time it has happened and is unnatural to justify a carbon tax.
There is unequivocal proof that it is not the case and it is natural.
No doubt it will be part of the political agenda that the greens will be pumping into the media to get vote like they have done in the past.
Anyone the really wants investigate historical data should research Greenland start with, where they suggest that the temperature dropped by 10 degrees in a century time frame.
Anyway I wouldn't be voting for anyone supporting a carbon tax.
I think I just lost a few brain cells trying to understand these posts.
To begin with, you've mad a lot of claims but failed to substantiate anything, frankly, it just sounds like the usual dribble you hear from climate change deniers. Fortunately, that pesky thing called Science completely disagrees with you and almost all evidence points to the effect humans have had and are continuing to have on the climate. You can argue that the change is natural, but the majority of studies based on pesky facts and formulas again disagree with you.
The USA, China, India among other countries have all agreed to a carbon output reduction scheme and most schemes have something to do with a carbon price. It is inevitable that Australia too will eventually adapt a similar scheme and put a price on carbon. I'm willing to bet on it.
If you look into the matter further than "it doesn't exist", you'll understand that the true reasons for denying climate change are actually economic reasons. Essentially, big polluters don't want anything to detract from their profits and thus renewable energy sources are problematic in that regard. Whilst the initial costs of renewable initiatives (such as wind, solar, hydro power) may be higher, the long term economic benefits are numerous and well established. Australia is behind the times in that regard, but the rest of the world is adjusting and as above, it is only a matter of time before Australia does so too.
Malcolm Turnbull shares the above views, so I hope that he can eventually influence policy change within the LNP. If he fails to deliver comprehensive policy change (in other areas too), then the LNP will still lose the next election.

Wow...and we thought the ALP were a shambles.
I would be interested to see if there is actual policy instead of retarded slogans that the retarded public seem to enjoy.
If LNP want to win the next election, they need stronger economic, social and environmental policies. Detailed, relevant, meticulously formulated and effective policies.

All good Terry!
Spoke to him on the phone.

out of interest, what was the cost of purchasing the wreck?
Was told about 80-90k. Never really considered it though do didn't get an exact figure. Primarily because of the headache, plus financially won't work out much cheaper than buying a 2nd hand GTR as is.
My mate was curious so he rang Pickles. They expect it to go for 100-120g.
I wont mention his reaction..
Lol. That is very interesting. I don't think it will go for that much. Might be worthwhile for a panel beater who can keep all costs to a minimum if it goes for 80ish.
BTW the assessor originally tried to tell me that the salvage value would be around 30k tops, hence the push to repair. Told him he was straight tripping and rightfully so.
-
I had the option to buy it back but elected not to.
Thanks mate, had no luck finding exactly what I wanted to have placed an order for a new GTR. Should be delivered mid November.
Cheers.

I don't get why people put Euro plates on a JDM car.
Makes no sense lol.
But each to their own.

^^
Haha I laugh each time I see that sign.
-
Yeah very sad. I've never seen it dirtier.
Seems a bit shifty that they haven't shown the airbags out, maybe trying to get a higher bid from an interstate bidder.

GT Blue is an amazing colour.
Best of luck with finding one.

Take it to Nissan is your best bet.

Thanks mate!
Pricing seems decent ATM.
Only issue is, there are stuff all black editions available and I really prefer the little extras.
Torn between buying a 2015 Premium or ordering and waiting for a late model 2015 Black Edition. Which would annoy me because...so close to 2016 lol.

Thats a fair sideways shunt , were you pushed into on coming traffic
not a very nice feeling at all .
Basically, I had a green arrow and was turning right, hence he hit me more towards the rear of the car.
There was no oncoming traffic at the time (was about 7pm in a suburban street), but I did end up on the wrong side of the road facing the other direction (180 degree turn).
In terms of insurance, as others have said, I can't believe people drive around without it. As the car is less than 2 years old, there is a new for new policy in place. I'm not sure how that works, but I imagine he'll have to pay off close to 200k.
-
Yeah was hit at about 60km/h I think.
There was some debate for a while as to repair vs write off. High salvage value= write off. Thankfully.
Last thing you want is a near new car that's been repaired after a heavy impact.

Yeah that would make me angry. Really angry! So your insurance covered and will sue him I assume?
The bloke that almost killed me on my bike was unlicensed, unregistered and uninsured.
Cops didn't charge him for driving unlicensed because they couldn't confirm he had received the letter stating it.
Yep insurance are going after him.
It'll teach him a life lesson I reckon.
Damnnn. Can't imagine being hit on a bike! Does make you angry doesn't it. Society these days.
-
Yikes.
Thankfully you're ok!
Thankfully there was insurance!
Now thats out of the way; that sucks! Can understand you being angry about it.
Yep that's the main thing. Walked out with minor bruises.
Get this, the other driver:
Unlicensed (his L's had been cancelled).
No insurance.
Driving like an idiot running red lights.
The only legit thing he had was that the car was actually registered at the time (his mum's car).

Hi guys,
A few months ago I was involved in a crash, my GTR Black Edition was written off due to a moron running a red light. Quite a bit of damage and airbags everywhere.
Kept it under wraps during the insurance process plus I was a bit angry.
I've finally sorted it all out with insurance and am now looking for a replacement vehicle.
This is a big inconvenience, but hey, series 7 updates anyone?
Cheers.
-
Looks amazing!
Car looks pretty sweet too.
Please find below pics. Black Edition looks better in white IMO (but I'm biased now lol).

Yep. That's RRP according to FTG.
Sheer insanity.
