The R35 GT-R was officially launched today 9am at a presentation at the Melbourne International Motor Show by Nissan Australia CEO Shinya Hannya. The presentation mentioned that the GT-R was to be expected in early 2009. No word on pricing yet though.

Unlike many of the US motorshows media and invited guests were able to get quite hands on with the car and sit in it etc. Hopefully this continues for the rest of the motorshow.

I have always hated melbourne... I hated them before it was cool...

Didn't someone just lose a bet? I remember something about a bet, and the 35 being released by September or taking orders then or something?

Also, top work as always Sewid :yes:

haha I'm sure Melbourne is ok...

Interesting to hear the Nissan PR guys telling journalists that the above pictured car is the only GTR in the southern hemisphere...

I was tempted to ask how they felt about the donut king car but didn't feel like upsetting their day with thoughts of evil grey imported pink cars.

hahaha that would of been interesting

This is Nissan's own car, which they are keeping for the time being. Often these cars are flown in and then immediately flown out after, or even during, the show.

This one is off on tour to the other states in the next few months.

Un offically, Nissan know about most of the other GT-R's. They have no issue with the race imports, its just the retail sales that upset them....

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
