After almost 7 years and 101 posts here, the mods (if they ever actually see this post) can cancel my SAU membership. This site used to be great. Now it is SHITE. People put up posts blatantly trying to sell rubbish such as acne treatments etc etc or other non related websites and the mods don't seem to care. There is hardly any traffic here anymore either. If I was a site sponsor or advertiser I would be extremely unimpressed. I used to enjoy my daily dose of SAU, now there is no point visiting because there are usually no new posts (except for the above mentioned spammers). I don't know what else to say except for thanks for the good times and goodbye.

Do you have the radio/air con front fascia? It is the panel with the 5 dials on it for stereo and air cond controls. cheers

Mine is a 2010

Yes they will.

I cant see them falling that far for a long time yet. Remember that these were a $170k car. If you have the cash or the means, do it now. Who knows where you will be in 1 year from now. 2015 model will make absolutely no difference at all. R35 may.

Can everyone else here access thre R35 WTB section? I have never been able to. It says I don't have access.????

what the? can't write G 0 D ??? why the heck not???

and god knows it's quiet around here most of the time.

Sorry, if it was on a weekend I prob could have helped, but I work (and live) Mon - Thurs on a mine site down south of Perth.

Not bad - $826 with a voluntary $2000 excess. The only thing is my NRMA policy was about the same price and the agreed value i chose for that amount was $135k instead of the max allowable with Progr of $115,400 (yes I know that the lower amount is more of a true reflection of the real value). Anyway, it is another option for next renewal.

This is a Tuesday yeah?

Pictures?

Tim, as a so called "enthusiast" you should know better. And it doesn't have to be a part of every day driving.

Fantastic Brett, thanks for that. I never would have checked with RAC as have always found them (in the past) to be quite expensive, however the quote is under $1K. That's more like it! Cheers & thanks for your input.

I guess that I consider it expensive as, when I bought it new, the cost was $1200. Now (with the risk/car value at only 60% of that new price) I think its bloody expensive considering the drop in the total risk.

I am sorry to say that Nissan Australia (let alone Nissan Japan) won't give a stuff how the dealer is behaving. All they care about is units sold. How a dealer does that is the dealers business. I have tried making complaints to an importer (not Nissan) about a dealership before to no avail.

"Who is that with?" SGIO here in WA So many of the online places I checked refused because of the car. Will some of these do it if they speak to me/see the car??? Can peeps chime in with say, age, rating, etc etc and their premium so I can get an idea of what I should be paying. It just seems crap that the insurers risk (ie total car value) is decreasing every year, but the premium goes up. What the f#$% is with that?

Hey guys, just got my insurance renewal in at $1500 (with a voluntary $2k excess included) is this comparable with what everyone else pays? I'm over 40, rating 1, full no claim bonus, car is garaged & covers 5000klm / yr.

So when and how did the tranny go from driving with 1/2 the gears locked out to operating normally??? If it wasn't fixed, anyone with half a brain is going to notice it when driving it. Something here doesn't quite smell right. Maybe a case of sour grapes cos OP traded in thinking he had a $47k repair bill on the cards when no one would pay that to Nissan when the alternatives are so much cheaper? IDK.

Hi, welcome. Sometimes it's not so busy around here! LOL

Pretty close to the mark, except shipping was more. I got a set from USA.

Don't expect to drive a GT-R before you sign. Certainly, in SA (there is only 1 dealer there) test drives were either non existent or extremely rare. I didn't expect or care to have one either! The vast majority of real GT-R buyers know that they want one, know they can afford one and don't need a test drive. Other dealerships may give them out but that qwas my experience. The sales guy told me after i'd bought mine that he couldn't recall any SA (BUYER) in the past wanting one. Re the credit card bit, sure, be prepared to sign & buy on the day to get the best real discount, but don't hand over the CC until you have agreed on a price and have a signed contract in your hand. Handing over a cc before this is a recipe to full tote odds, but i'm sure we are all savvy buyers here.

somewhere between the 2 replies so far would be around the mark I think. If you were to pick up a 2013 once the 2014 has been released, you will see a much greater discount. This would be because nissan australia would offer rebates to move the old floor stock. This is how I bought mine. Also - go in on the last days of the month, before end of financial yr is a great time. Tell them upfront that you will buy a car TODAY if the price is right. Be prepared to walk away if the price is not good enough for you. If they let you walk that was the best price you were going to get. Having said that, another dealers best price could be better. This applies when buying any car.

Its like a graveyard around here lately (LOL), suggest a call to an Oz GT-R dealer!

Hi, only just about everyone. hahaha.
