Why should it be the other way around???

I'd never used a sequential stick before the DSG and i kept pulling down a gear when i wanted to shift up. It "felt" more natural to pull down when accelerating due to the forces (maybe?). Even currently in the Stagea sequential auto, i still do it sometimes.

I've picked up a mag over here which has the first undisguised pics I've seen. The front is very clean with some very tasteful carbon detailing on the front sides and rear. It actually reminds me a little of the Carbon Burnout Kit I had on my CPV35.

Yes, well I havent broken it yet so its still on the 35 :(

I found an I O U in the glove box of the 35 today, I cant believe i didnt see it it before now! it says "This IOU entitles the new owner of this vehicle 1x Drive & 1x Hotlap in my soon to arrive GTR. Love Jeff"

Will be interesting to see how it holds up against the the 35 blown :)

Nissan are really being tight lipped about info on the new GTR. A good mate of mine Stephen Barnes,who works for northside said there was not extra details / specs he can provide when submitting a offer to purchase.

Stephen you are the second to put their name down, thats brilliant Jash.

BMW use to have their steptronic, UP to go up, DOWN to go down a gear. But reversed it in the new cars and to fall into step with their SMG boxes as they felt keeping it relative to the forces the driver is experiencing is more natural.

Accelerating you're being pushed back in your set, so PULL the gear stick back. Braking is the opposite, so PUSH the gearstick up...

that's what i think the logic was anyway...

not sure if it's been said but the V35 350GT has forward = up, back = down

i can't see nissan changing their mind, although in hte V35 its as simple as changing over 2 plugs to reverse the system if you're that way inclined. i'd say the GTR would offer the same option for those in the electrical know-how

Hahaha no shit aye! I was wondering why my gear changes were the opposite to the logos + & - printed on the shifter surround.

Yes it makes the action more natural this way!

Congrats on the order...

Why not have a box that moves left for down and right for up...like writing..lol......1 2 3 4 5 6

Who are the dumb f3$ks making these decisions?... :laughing-smiley-014:

The only reason the GTR is going to be priced that low is that we have had a surge in the Australian dollar.

My predictions was close to 200K about a year ago..most just laughed...

SO BE GRATEFULL FOR THE OZZY DOLLAR GUYS ;)

Thats what i was getting at. I cant believe they would even consider it the other way..

Anyway good luck to all the blokes lucky enough to have ordered one.

Although GTR_35 if you are taking delivery in 09 what year model will the car be stamped..

I imagine it will be 2009 build if it is a March delivery.

I will be in the first allocation, and this is the earliest ETA given.

Japan is first, then USA then Oz. Japan will start delivery by Christmas.

well you just keep us informed shan of any workshops gearing up for this car ;)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
