Probably better for people to wait after the gold rush ends...

I wonder how the people that paid $80,000 for an STi back in the day feel now when they look in the garage. Best bet is to go down to your local Nissan dealer and make a deposit, then wait.

edit: Kloster group is a Nissan dealer... so I guess, if that dealer knows its allocation and has cars left then it is probably good to get in on that.

When you do the sums buying a new Premium in Japan then calculate everything into it including Duty's, ORC, Insurance, Fringe Benefits Tax and Compliance you will be looking at $150,000 to $160,000 then you want to allow for warranty after that is covered you need to get hold of one.

Whats fringe benefit tax got to do with buying a car lol

FBT is only applicable if you lease the vechicle

or if you register it as a company car under a company name

oh and while on the topic of leasing (which is what most rich business types would do on this sorta car) dont forget the extra 1% luxary tax per annum in QLD... :D

i heard from a reliable source that it will be released here from Sept 2008

I would love to know what source that is. I would wager some dough they are less reliable than you think. if nissan is delivering R35s in September this year I will do a nudie run at the sydney motor show. :D

they may having pricing by september, and they may be taking firm orders then too, but i am fairly certain they wont be delivering any to customers.

I did the math and came out around $135k including:

- FOB cost of the car, buyers fees, freight, bank fees

- Import Duty, GST, LCT, Wharf fees, AQIS fees, DOTARS Fees and customs agents fees

- Compliance costs, Registration, Green Slip, Stamp Duty

- Comprehensive insurance for $120k

- Import Broker fees (which you dont need to add but I chucked in anyway)

Did not include any warranty because I do not believe an aftermarket warranty is really worth the paper it's printed on

I highly doubt the reliability of your source.

Guess we will just have to wait and see eh??

My dealer told me that no dealers have been allocated any cars, or been given GTR dealer status.

All the orders and deposits have been sent to Nissan Oz and they will be dealing with us directly, although I have not heard anything yet.

I do not expect much change out of $150k, as I believe we will only see the PRemium spec and may be the black spec cars here, already loaded with options.

The allocation for Oz is also very small, I heard it will be 6 units per month.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
