Everyone,

If you are seriously considering one of these, and you have the money, go to your NISSAN dealer and sign up. They are taking expressions of SERIOUS interest.

One dealer per state will be appointed. A few applications have already been lodged with WANNEROO NISSAN.

I have been told that there will be one model only of GTR to be sold in Australia.

Latest news suggests allowing 120K and a specificiation specifically for Australia.

In talking to them, this would mean the car is configured to appeal to the broadest market and also there would be only one model type being brought in.

Hmm, do you just go in & ask for the poverty pack version, or is it a case of taking whatever they will give you?

i hope to hell Nissan only bring them in in restricted volumes (ie RAWS/SEVS friendly at a later date)

I think what they are trying to say is that they will choose the specification of the car - ie. 4 spot vs 6 spot brembos, 7spd auto and 6 speed manual (probably both), 480bhp version v530bhp version, carbon panels vs no carbon panels.

My feeling is that smoewhere in the middle would be the most appealing...i.e similar to a vspec. I dont know that the base model would be too appealing. *imagines steel wheels, and vinyl interior* :P

I was in Claremont yesterday and spotted TWO DB9's.. one convertible and one hardtop.. rich khants!

I start a sweet new job on Monday that pays a fair bit of coin but I think I'll have to wait till they start appearing on the used car market before I get a new GTR O_o

ha - by the time i get my hands on a gtr (it prob will be a r32 :nyaanyaa: ) the 2008 gtr's will then be on the used car market....

530bhp version would the the highest output from a commercially sold car in australia wouldnt it? (395kw)

(i realise that there are higher output cars, but they are usually private imports)

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
