Anyone know how to go about putting your name down? He has tried quite a number of Nissan dealers who all say they can't currently help as they don't even have pricing information let alone a waiting list!?

Would be pretty stupid of nissan not to release these figures so that cars could be preordered. I have heard of it happening already in VIC.

They are taking tentative orders, your dreposit secures a place in line but there is no solid pricing or spec info at this stage. When i first enquired they told me to expect around $120,000 now they are telling me anywhere upto $160,000. They were taking deposits based in 120-130 ath the start and seeing that it looks improbable that they will be that cheap those people will subsequently have their deposits returned if they no longer wish to proceed.

Remember that very early on when there was first rumours of Nissan bring the GTR to Australia, early estimates saw the base model price at around $80-90k.

Anyone that actually thought that was even remotely accurate had it seriously backward and I think we will find current estimates of a ~$160,000 odd price tag for an Australian delivered model will be much closer to the mark.

Either way $160,000 is damn cheap for the performance on offer.

Yep the GT-R cud be priced around AUD150k ovr at your end and here in Spore its gonna cost at least SIN$288K but then its already on the road here:

Dont know the number allocated for Spore but one importer have at least 16units on order and delivery slated for Jan '08.

Its a shit, Nissan NZ wont be getting any in new because they cant offer the Nissan New car service they provide with every other new model purchased.

Something to do with not having the qualified mechanics or necissary tools needed to do the yearly engine teardown required :)

Very sad. But they will be grey imported no doubt. There was one on Trademe last week that dissapeared. Was on for $169000NZD if i remember right.

I dont see why not, probly cheaper and easier to buy your own via Japan tho wouldnt it

Just you can only import the GTR into Aus as a Rally/Race not drive on public roads! does anyone know of places in NZ that Comply them?? Would complying them in NZ and Bringing to Aus be the same???

Could you buy the New GTR and get it sent to NZ and then bring it on a boat to Aus??

from what i know you cannot import a car unless you have lived in that country your importing from for at least 6months/a year.

lol, import laws and registration laws have nothing to do with where the car is from. doesn't matter if you import one from bangladesh it's the same law. so sending one from japan to NZ then to aus would be a massive waste of time and money. having a car registered in NZ doesn't matter a damn. last I checked NZ is not a state of australia. :D

The rules that were in effect when i brought my GTS4s into OZ a while ago were that you had to own and use the car for 12 months before you could privately import it and then the car had to be on the DOTARS list of approved cars to bring into AUstralia. Cars that are sold new in Australia generally can't be imported in unless you get around it by the model year etc as with some of the imports. You could always check with Dotars and see if a 2007 or 2008 car is eligible as a private import, as the OZ delivered ones will be 2009 models won't they? and then move somewhere for a year and then get one second hand (somehow) inported to that country...

that's wrong. personal imports are not restricted to SEVS listed cars. you can import ANY car as long as you have owned it (and lived) overseas for 12 months. even if that exact model is sold here in full volume. so if you are currently in aus that means moving to japan, buying and registering the car, leasing a parking spot. wait 12 months. then move back to aus with the car. it will be far cheaper and easier to buy one from nissan unless of course you are currently living in japan anyway.

I'm in QLD but at this stage I think it would probably apply Australia wide. When I tried ordering one a few months back I was advised that Nissan will only sell the GTR through dealerships which "qualify" for the GTR by having specialist trained mechanics and various other provisions in place. As no-one has any such mechanics yet, no-one yet knows who will qualify to sell the GTR. Therefor no-one knows who will get dealer rights for the GTR in Australia. Therfore no-one can take a deposit because they don't even know if they are going to be dealers or not.

No doubt the larger dealerships will most probably attain dealer status, but at this stage no one does.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
