i just did a slight calculation, including all shipping, frieght charges, gst etc and you could get a GTR over here on road for just over $110,000. i saw in a car magazine them selling them for $160,000 how does that work?? are the companies making huge profits or did i make a slight error. because i used a currency converter and for me to buy a gtr from japan is $82552AU brand new then i went to an importer site did the import calculations so i don't see how i could have made much of an error

did you remember to add the luxury car tax? might work out to be a fair bit closer once you put that into it

A friend of mine walked into a Jap showroom and grabbed a GTR brochure for me late last year. I was so happy and was gonna scan it onto SAU, but it was already scanned on by another member.

lol, yeah me! In november last year!!

but I must say even if they are 7months late your scans are nicer than mine. :)

and your calculations need a little work. for starters you are looking at around $20,000 for compliance at a guess.

If anyone would like a Hi res version of the spec sheet just let us know - has motor / brake / tyre specs etc ..... is interesting

One of the Importers we deal with bought and sold a GTR and kept this so just thought we would share for anyone that may not of seen it :P

kamikaze or carisma sells them for 160,000 plus govt charges they have 6 brand new coming into the country in june or something ill confirm this when i get home and check the magazine HPI

cheers

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
