The differences were things like Trim (Leather), BOSE sound system, HID's, Wheels, Brakes and they did mention Tune.

I guess they could bring out a NA and Turbo versions, this could be why there is such a big difference in price.

I think we will know alot more in a weeks time once the TMS has revealed the GTR.

That is a huge difference in price, 50% increase to the top spec version which is quite astounding. It's like the difference between a cooking model Commodore and a HSV or a WRX and an STi. Personally I don' think they'd do a NA version, but a lower powered one, like the difference between a WRX and an STi could be possible and place the car in two different markets - although never really done before with a GTR, it kind of makes sense to do it now.

Glad you find it so amusing ;)

I might add that I stopped calling it a V35/36 (or anything for that matter - just 'new GT-R') almost 2 years ago now, because back then I had a sneaking feeling Nissan might do the unthinkable and call it an R35. I was the first to admit I was wrong the moment Nissan made the chassis code official : http://www.7tune.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=128 (post #5 scroll down)

Anyway, rub in my mistake as much as you want champ :rofl:

Rub.

Rub.

Rub.

I just got back from placing an order for a new GTR.

The unconfirmed details are:

Delivery in the 1st 1/4 2009.

2 Models, one $80,000+ORC and the other being $120,000+ORC

3.8 twin turbo, 7 speed DSG, AWD

Now I just need to wait 18months untill it arrives.

Holy shit thats GREAT pricing!!!!

But as said, more specifics on the difference would be great

Well done Mal!

that is kind of weird that we get different spec GTRs, and the cheap one at $80K is cheaper here than in japan. in japan afaik it's regular GTR, black edition, then premium. and they start at $85K. it doesn't seem quite right to me to have one at $80K and one at $120K, surely they wont risk cheapening the cars image with a lower power version?!?

an NA gtr version? you were kidding right? course you were

The info I posted is not confirmed.

I would think only a handful of senior Nissan Execs would know the final details, and none would be sales people.

The pricing they put on the order was approx $150,000 and delivery in 2009, so I guess they are giving me worst case.

^^^ Definitely sounds like a worst case senario. I've said before that Nissan AU could get very greedy with this car, I wouldn't be surprised if they do and slap a useless $10K - $15K premium for absolutely no reason other than to make Aussies pay through the nose.

10 - 15k... that really isn't anything when you consider the size of the market here (tiny) and the price of the car.

BMW put a 50k markup on the 335i. 40k USD or 108k AUD.

I reckon $15K would do nicely in my pocket rather than Nissan's don't you? Especially when people in other markets are getting exactly the same car for less even taking into account exchange rates, taxes, duties etc. I realize AU is a small market compared to the rest but still... surely something can be done.

This is fantastic news! Cant wait to see it on the road!! :-D

They've done well to keep the un-masked version of the car under wraps, considering it goes on sale in the next month or two!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
