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.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
