Not sure if anyone else has posted this news yet, but I have got official news from inside Nissan head office....

There will be only 2 dealerships inside Victoria that will be authorised GTR dealers....

They are....

WERRIBEE NISSAN and FERNTREE GULLY NISSAN!!!

No other dealerships will stock or be able to sell the vehicle except for these 2 dealerships!

ETA March 2009....

I'd thought they would try to get the car near the city somewhere..... same with ferntree

I agree with you there - Benz, Aston, Porche all have City or close dealers, but Werribee?

Fentree Gully i could have picked, seeing as it's Nissan Vic's unofficial flagship location.

Yeah i knew someone who worked here...seemed to be the only dealer I knew of who could bring in JDM stuff for the S15 (or maybe i just didn't look hard enough :D ) ...if they end up being one of two dealerships to stock the GTR then it might be a place for me to start lookin for hard to find nismo apparel! :devil:

was talking to a salesman at our nissan dealer here in tamworth after they all had a good look at my v35 he said do you want me to ring you when the r35 turns up to that i said are you getting one in and he yeah in october this year to that i said sorry dont have 160k and he said no 150k plus on roads but i think hes all bullshit

Funny that you Vic blokes already think these are obscure dealerships. Why did Dissan do this? Or maybe it's incorrect information (don't cry, show me proof). It would be an unwise business move not to have at least ONE city dealer that retails the R35.

he said no 150k plus on roads but i think hes all bullshit

That's just a given. Don't think about it.

$150K plus on-roads IS $160K...

Yeah Werribee is definately an obsure location. Its also a decently sized dealership as I assume FTG is also but you wouldnt think that would matter as I doubt they are going to hold 50 cars at a time like a Tiida......or are they?

Maybe Nissan themselves decided on a max of two dealers in VIC so only two workshops had to be trained/setup to service the cars and maybe had the dealerships bid on the rights to sell them?

Who gives a shit anyways as I cant afford it and for those lucky enough who can I'm sure an extra 30 minutes travel isnt going to change there mind in buying one.

FT Gully Nissan and Werribee Nissan are the two leading Nissan dealerships in Victoria...new car sales wise, thats why they have been chosen to sell the GTR.

I work at one of these dealerships and believe me its not incorrect information....

the city dealership was not chosen because of its showroom size, the amount of new cars they sell (not many compared to Werribee and FT Gully) and there is no parking space for customers, which there will be alot of all keen to come down and check out the car.

One dealership on either side of the city was the idea, and thats what they have gone with!

Blitz has ze connections, sounds like good info to me...

that pretty much means it's go time for imports yah?? hahahahhah, Nissan OZ.... you bunch of retarded f*ck wits....

i reckon that explains the recent Nissan OZ letter saying "we'll be scrutinising all workshops importing GTR's", 1) scare tactics as they have no auth to scrutinise jack 2) they know they're going to miss the 18 month window and hence they're being poopy pants and saying "well yeah!.......... we've got our eye on you... so.... yeah, yeah... think about it!"

hahahaha, ANOTHER wasted opportunity...

who in werribee has 160k to splash on a car??? must be a mistake.. as if theyd put it out there... woulda been better in the city or close by... "/

LOL! Just brand it the new HSV / FPV.

any workshop that receives the 'letter' from Nissan SHOULD definitely send a legally informed reply particularly given they are attempting to set you up for an indemnity costs order by the 'reserve the right to rely on this letter'.

That needs to be formally replied to.

If anyone does get one of those letter, feel free to PM and I can draft up a reply to go out on your company letterhead.

Yes I am qualified!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
