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.

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
