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.

even cheaper option, buy a 32/33 and spend $20k on it and have lots left!

I'd buy a RS4 for R35 GTR kinda money, no question!

Have you driven an RS4? I have an whilst it is an unquestionably nice car - I don't think they are worth the $$$ charged for them. At this stage I'm thinking the R35 will be a better car for $$$ machine than the RS4 is (but only driving one will really tell).

Yes currently i have an RS4, black/black.. mods are H+R Springs/sways and the full Milltek exhaust, 100 catts/downpipes /cat back. its putting down 237@ ATW.

i had intended to trade it on a new M3 when my order arrived but based on the reviews it dosent appear to be any better, so i let the order go last month. The RS is such a sweet car that seems to cover all bases as its a daily driver and did 10 odd track days last year and a dutton rally(NSW), it has also run a 12.883 1/4. not bad for a sedan haha, i run michelin Pilot cups265s. But being a car nut im always looking for the next dream car, faster, sexier etc. Im planning to keep for 2008 and do the AudiVW car series in it, and drive to work lol.

I really love the look of the new GT-R, especially the front and rear, not so much the side on .But i love the German build quality.. this car appears to be closing the gap, nasty performance and pretty luxorious looking interior to. so seriously thinking of putting deposit down. BMW took 1000 bucks only so im sure nissan would be similar, and refundable if you change your mind.

When i called BMW to ask about waiting list , they didnt have one so i gave 1k and asked for a letter confirming deposit and my number 1 spot, which they did(alto artarmon).

I suggest we try the same approach with nissan, if they dont have a list yet, make them start one with u as number 1.

anyhow, hi fellas, GT_rs are nasty lol

Happy new year :)

I did just that ... 2 months ago.

RS4 is an awesome car, I just couldn't quite bring myself to buy something that conservative in appearance ... it would be like admitting I'm getting older.

BTW ... I had to put down $2,500.

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.

How would it be cheaper to buy one from nissan??

They are 90k AUD here. They're going to be a MINIMUM 145k in Australia. Storage for a year plus shipping couldn't be close to 55k??

I was told today that the R35 wont be warranted by Nissan if you import them in yourself.So i assume that means the cars are for race use only and cant be registered.

whats that got to do with registering the car? :P

that applies for any low-volume import in Nissans eyes

sheesh

well like I said in my post if you are not currently living in japan then that's a shitload of effort to go to. moving countries for 12months... ok, let's say you find someone to do it for you (and this assumes nothing goes wrong and they don't drive or fk up the car).

$90,000 AUD for car

$5,000 for person to do all this work for you and look after it (at least)

$4,000 1 years parking space lease

$3,000 1 years rego in japan

$2,500 shiping

$9,000 GST

$9,900 import duty

$7,000 luxury car tax

now bear in mind you've been without $100,000 for 12months, and when you get the car it's 12 months old. even at conservative investment you could have earnt $10,000 on that money in the 12 months and you would be getting a brand new car. and the car would have warranty. I'm not saying don't do it, if you want to then go ahead. but it's only really viable if you are living in japan. if you aren't then you will need to look at things pretty carefully. All those figures are just off the top of my head but not too far out. as i said in my original post, if you live in japan sure it's viable. if you live in australia is cheaper and easier to buy one here than to do a personal import. unless you buy a personal import from someone in japan who has put up their own money, driven and enjoyed the car for a year then sells it to you.

Does this mean you don't comply your car? You just get a Road Worthy and then Register it?

couldn't you import one to NZ and "live" there for 12 months...or...could my brother import one there (he lives in NZ) own it for 12 months and move back to Aus. with it (he's an Aust citizen) then sell it to me?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
