I expected it to be 180K :) + this was when the Australian dollar was at 65cUS....luckily for us

we hit 87c and came back to 83c.

Anyway ,unless it is 100% it will be on sale here(ie in the showroom) then we will see the real price.

Lets face it options cost money....sat/nav,rear/sensors/camera,zennon lights etc etc.

Would like to see what options they will have on the gtr and the pricing for them.

Judging by BMW and Merc...expect mats to cost 1K+,metallic paint 2K+ and sat/nav 4K+

Most who have that kind of dollar to spend on a car put on at least 20K on in a blink of an eye,

and we are still talking not on road price(correct me if I am wrong).

OPTION 1 135K+20K(options)+10K(on road)+10K(Insurance)=170K

OPTION 2 less approx 35K

Can't see why a GTR34 will drop in price because everyone can afford a GTR(08)... :D

How can Nissan sell a new single model AWD TT GT-R for $95K when a BMW 330 TT (based on a common as muck beemer) is $110K?

Even the old model that was based on a lower spec rwd version was ~$145K here as a private import with some kays on it, and this one is an entirely stand alone model.

The facts don't add up for me.

Kindly to be explaining why an NA 911 costs nearly $200K when it's sold all over the world, and most of the parts in one have been around for ages or have just been redesigned?

No wonder Porsche is the worlds most profitable car company- People are willing to pay big dollars for cars that have merely been tweaked from model to model over 40 years, rather than been designed from a clean sheet starting point every 6 or 7 years.

Porsche..is another kettle of fish..without its 4 Wheel drive...canyenne they would have had to sell up...

It is not the 911 that makes them money at all......

Anywayz....as for the comment about everything being around on a 911 porsche for years...

that is purely because the buyers demanded the shape to stay the same and not change.

Although I believe this hurt there sales in the long run...

But there is a lot of parts commonality- even the 997 carried over a lot of the (admittedly good) mechanical components from the 996, but tweaked in some way. Yeah they had to redesign the body shell and add water cooling to the motor and 4V variocam heads- but it was nothing like the jump Ferrari had to do to go from the 355 (based on the 308GTB) to the 360 Modena (clean sheet design)

i'm hoping the source is reliable. I always hoped the new gtr will sell for about 100k . Not that I'm buying one , i just want to buy a r34 gtr. If the price of new gtrs are about 6.6m yen in japan I'm sure a lot of japanese would be upgrading as they like to have the newest of everything. Thus there will be a flood of old r34gtrs on the market , thus the prices should drop dramatically , like 20% . I remember when 8 year old r33 gtr were about 32-40k . Thus 8 year old r34 (99 models) should be the roughly the same. Fingers crossed !!!

How many R34 Gtr's do you think were ever built?

I believe it was stated once before here(9000 units)

Somebody please correct me if I am off.

A flood of them...no...you are mistaken...there were never built in the numbers of the R32GTR.(43,394 units)...

I remember reading the same thing

But still.. 135 is not bad when you consider the new M3 is about 150 or so by the time we see it. I would expect the evo to be about the 150k when it comes out.

You're joking right? No way the Evo X is going to be $150k!

Honestly though, looking at what some people in USA did with some of the cars over the years...im afraid for GTRs reputation...

If i see a GTR with 22" blings and airbags... ill stab sum1 in the eye with a toothpick.

x2... tooo many niggas..

lol

GTR on DUBS :D

Sucks that USA will get it.

my friend told me that the r32-24 skylines wernt able to be imported into america or driven there becauseof emissions/safety or somthing. aparently there are a few that come over from canada or something like that?

let them have it, its about time they had something to base a new tacky fast and furoius movie on.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
