  1. Lol well we've heard from dumb and as usual sniffing his arse we've heard from dumber, Wardy I think we all know you're king of the hand jobs, every night out in your carport with your dick in hand! Just saying
  2. Lol g35me your confusing me with your old lady!
  3. Lol well, haven't heard from you ladies for awhile, shouldn't you be facebooking or something. Why do you girls always get your knickers in a knot when somebody talks about depreciation on these cars? I mean shit the guy got a good deal, as he said he saved himself 50k, just be happy for the bloke!
  4. Why would you buy a new one when they depreciate at 3k a month for the 1st year and then 2k a month the year after!
  5. 130K for a low klm MY12 is a good buy. Congrats. There's been nothing decent on carsales for months. According to Motor Magazine R35 sales have really bottomed out. Seems it's very hard to find a good 2nd hand one these days, there's hardly any for sale.
  6. Just shows, when you price a car sensibly people will buy it. These dreamers on carsales asking over 100K for 09's are just kidding themselves.
  7. A nice white MY12 has just come up for sale. http:/www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-GT-R-/SSE-AD-2684188/?Cr=2&sdmvc=1
  8. REVEALED: NISSAN GT-R NISMO -- Nissan GT-R Nismo Joins 2014 Nissan GT-R -- World premiere of race-inspired version of Nissan's legendary GT-R 600hp (441kw) for blistering performance Advanced aerodynamics generating additional 100kg*1 of downforce at 300km/h (186mph) for exceptional road-holding YOKOHAMA, Japan (November 19, 2013) – Records fall and dreams come true with the debut of the Nissan GT-R Nismo. This race-oriented model delivers “factory tuned" supercar dynamics with revolutionary enhanced aerodynamics and ultra-precise handling. The Nissan GT-R is already established as one of the best performing supercars in the automotive sphere, and now Nissan has drawn on decades of racing experience gathered by Nismo, the brand's motorsport specialists, to develop the ultimate Nissan GT-R. The Nissan GT-R Nismo features exclusive styling that embraces the longstanding racing philosophy of form following function. It has numerous motorsports-inspired technologies to enhance the car's performance through optimised aerodynamics, suspension and powertrain, creating a well-balanced machine that is at home on both the road and track. The Nissan GT-R Nismo will be available in Japan in late February 2014, U.S. and Europe later in 2014. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn says this is the fastest Nissan GT-R ever. "With a 7:08.679 lap time, we can authoritatively say that the Nissan GT-R Nismo*2 holds the volume production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is the gold standard of high performance achievement." Nissan GT-R Nismo Overview - Flagship of the Nismo lineup 1. Mechanical Features Nissan GT-R Nismo employs innovation, uncompromising engineering and motorsports-inspired technologies to achieve new levels of power, speed and handling. Engine Under the hood, the 3.8-liter V6 VR38DETT engine benefits from the know-how that Nismo has gained from participating in such events as the world-renowned Nürburgring 24 hour race. Engine power has risen and is now rated at 600PS (441kw) and 481 lb ft (652 Nm) of torque. New high-flow, large capacity turbochargers, which are used for GT3 racing, improve breathing, while optimized individual ignition timing control for each cylinder and upgraded fuel pump improve combustion. Chassis The springs and custom-developed Bilstein DampTronic dampers in the front and rear suspension are specially tuned to deliver exceptional grip levels and progressive handling response at the limit. Three suspension modes can be selected: Comfort, Normal and R, for circuit applications. Exclusive Nismo tires – developed by Dunlop - exhibit outstanding grip and handling characteristics. Front: 255/40 ZRF20; rear 285/35 ZRF20. Specially-developed links fitted to the front double wishbone suspension increase castor trail to optimize wheel position during high-G cornering and improve straight-line and cornering stability. Additionally, large high-rigidity bolts are used to increase stiffness of the wheel-hub attachment area. To minimize body-roll during cornering and changes of direction, the Nissan GT-R Nismo features a 17.3 mm hollow rear anti-roll bar which raises roll stiffness while reducing weight. Body construction Increased rigidity in the bodyshell is achieved using adhesive bonding in addition to spot welding leading to precise suspension response under extreme load, the Nismo “factory tuned" enhancement.2. Exterior design - Exclusive styling with improved aerodynamics Using the latest Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation techniques to analyze airflow, Nismo has developed an aero package that improves road-holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. Together, the front bumper, engine undercover strake and carbon rear spoiler increase downforce, lowering the center of gravity and generating an additional 100kg*1 (at 300km/h) compared to the freshly updated 2014 Nissan GT-R model. The car's aerodynamic characteristics are tuned to ensure the downforce is equally spread front to rear at all speeds for progressive handling characteristics. A widened front bumper configuration and elongated yet tapered rear bumper design keep the drag to Cd 0.26, same with that of 2014 Nissan GT-R. The Nissan GT-R Nismo will be available in five body colors: Brilliant White Pearl, Meteor Flake Pearl Black, Ultimate Metallic Silver and Vibrant Red. And unique to the GT-R Nismo model, a Dark Matte Grey*3 accentuates the car's imposing exterior muscularity. The GT-R Nismo's black 6-spoke wheels are inspired by Nissan's GT-R race car which races in the GT500 class in SUPER GT. 3. Interior The Nissan GT-R Nismo cockpit inspires driver confidence through both its craftsmanship and optimized driving position. Ergonomically sculpted carbon-fiber-backed reclining RECARO seats (Europe/Japan) comfortably, yet firmly, support the driver and front-seat passenger. Nismo racers influenced the design of the steering wheel which is dressed in Alcantara®, with three spokes, red center mark and red stitching to give the best combination of grip, feedback and comfort. The combi meter has carbon-like finish, and tachometer features a red design. The meter hood is also dressed with Alcantara®. Interior trim features include discreet red stitching on the seats, center console, door trim and steering wheel. *1: Compared to 2014 Nissan GT-R *2: Nissan GT-R Nismo with track options *3: Dark Matte Grey will be available starting from summer in 2014. http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/92279-2015-gtr-official-info-nissan-shifts-focus-to-refinement-introduces-gt-r-nismo/
  9. A waste of time without the 911 Turbo S and the Aventador.
  10. 85K for an 09 with those klms, I agree a bargain. Would be nice if there were a few more current owners willing to throw away cash like that!
  11. It's been sold. Looks like genuine extended warranty now avaliable from Nissan for the R35. http://www.nissan.com.au/Owners/Owner-Information/Warranty/Nissan-Genuine-Extended-Warranty You'll note that the GT-R exclusion has been removed from this page. God knows how much it would cost though. Looks like it's done on a car by car basis.
  12. Yep, based on this car anyone paying more then a 100k for an 09 would have to have rocks in their head.
  13. Good buy on carsales today all things considered. http://carsales.mobi/car/brand%20new/dealer/demo/private/NISSAN/GT____R
  14. I certainly agree with all of the above and car companies have always argued that when the exchange rate goes against them they don't increase the price of their vehicles and that the price is based on an average and set well in advance. In saying that what we are seeing here could be the start of a sustained devaluation of the Yen. The Japanese Government through the Bank of Japan is deliberately de-valuing the Yen in order to boost exports and get Japan out of a recession which it has been in for over 2 decades. They intend to de-value the Yen by a further 20%. A 40% reduction in total. I'm sure you'd agree that this is more then just a fluctuation in the rate, it's a fundamental shift. Wonder how many more GT-R's they'd sell in Australia if they were 40% cheaper. Same profit per car now but with a massive increase in volume, which is what Japan needs. http://english.caixin.com/2012-03-23/100372177_3.html In the coming years there well could be a large price adjustment on Japanese goods, including motor vehicles with the A$ set to remain strong. Anyway the Australian government will just probably increase the tariffs on these cars to protect the local industry and as far as the GT-R goes, well Nissan Oz will just probably pocket the difference. They obviously make more money and of course it protects 2nd hand values. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm sure there are numerous other factors involved which I haven't thought of ie. specialist vehicle, made in low volumes etc etc.. Just putting it out there for some healthy discussion. Anything could be possible in the coming years.
  15. Yes but the price of the car itself should be 20% cheaper before you add all the taxes based on the current exchange rate. The problem is car companies don't adjust their prices when there are fluctuations in the rate. Nissan Australia are receiving the cars from Japan 20% cheaper due to the weaker Yen.
  16. I think you can definately say we are getting shafted in this country by Nissan Australia. New R35's should be at least 35K cheaper! What a shame we can't import! http://www.lucusjapan.com/search/index.cgi?key=141
  17. Full 3 years parts and labour warranty being offered on this R35. Very intersting! Knock 10K off the price and probably not a bad buy, especially with on-roads included. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/nissan-gt-r-2009-14377747?base=&vertical=Car&cr=13&eapi=2&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294961487&num=15&silo=Stock&sort=default
  18. Nah you got a good deal and you got the best colour! Suttons will never get that kind of money for that car with those klm's on it. I've dealt with them before. Morons! Congrats on your purchase.
  19. That was that the one on carsales in sydney. How much did you end up paying for it?
  20. Lol Wardy, you amuse me with your bullshit. You might want to review your post on the previous page when I asked about the problem regarding the GT-R's transmission pressure sensors and weather they had fixed the problem. Allow me to quote. 'Nup. Transmissions are almost identical in that regard all the way to 2013. With all GT-R's its not a matter of if it will happen, its more like, when it will happen' I mean you own an R35 so you must be an expert? Yes?
  21. Oh Snap alright Wardy. I think old Domi’s anger management issues are surfacing again lol. It’s got nothing to do with being worried about maintenance, it’s about heading off potential problems before they arise, which is precisely what Speedah has done by getting Martin to put ‘upgrades/preventative bits in’. Obviously a very prudent move. As big bad Barry said today, you might want to take Bex and have a lie down.
  22. When the time comes and I buy a 2nd hand R35 that's out of warranty or nearly out, I'm just going to have the 7k ready to bullet proof the transmission. I mean it seems ridiculous to have to do this for a car which is suppose to be one of the best engineered cars in the world but what's the point of owning the car if one day you're sitting in traffic and the thing shits itself!
  23. So what's the labour charge for replacement of this $200 part?
