FTG Nissan, no surprise. I live about 5 mins from there and it has been Australia's highest selling dealerships many years.

As for the 2010 wait and the $160k price tage, Nissan Australia you're a bunch of scum sucking fu(k tards. I've been considering this car for some time now but fu(ked if I'm paying $160k for a car you can pickup in Japan for half that price. Bastards...

Look at the Porsche 911 though, 90k in the US, 200K+ here in Aus. Wonder if it's the dealerships or the Government?

ok a little bit of an update...

just got back from Nissan head office today in dandenong, had some product knowledge training

GTR is arriving in March 2009, that is a definate..not 2010 as suggested by others and when I get an official document ill post it up here!

Also..head office already has a couple of GTR's here already, one is out the back they are using for testing and the other is in the front office as soon as you walk through the doors...

so if anyone wants to see the car upclose you can just go down and check it out!

Yeah but the GT-R isn't a Porsche... and $160K is un-fuggin-believable. I just can't believe Nissan will try and fleece the GT-R faithful like that... no way.

Good news about March 2009, that's more like it.

Government. It's the same story in the UK, $160k here - $113k there. That new luxury car tax wouldn't have helped either. Guess we'll just all have to wait unitl the FTA with Japan comes through,

^^ I might have to swing by Head office to look at the potential father in-law's next car then...

I really should just get a diamond ring for the missus and then "borrow" the car for a couple of (track) days :P

Really glad the release date is early next year rather than the year after.

Would these places then be orthorised to then import V35GT-R components? For service / sales?

Yep but for the people that want an Oz delivered one because they want the working Sat nav, radio and all the functions etc all in English - not to mention that little thing called waranty - it will mean the cars aren't worth 35% of retail come resale time due to all the crappy imports.

Werribee is not authorized.

It is Blackburn and Ferntreegully Nissan who are selling it.

City Nissan thought they were selling it and took 12 deposits of $5000.

Guess they're not now...

1) technically it's not "Brighton" it's on the wrong side of the tracks, ie... wrong side of Nepean hwy, it MIGHT be east brighton, but i think really it's another suburb altogether

2) Have you been there???? I get my fuel/oil filters from there and the parts/service desk has Nissan on the left and.... wait for it....... HYUNDAI on the right. Same desk, about 3-4 metres wide, 1 side Datsun, 1 side Hyundai. I don't think $150K+ GTR owners are going to line up and try and talk over the discussion a metre to their right about when Thelma should bring her excel in for the next service.

Nobody gives a shit there, showroom is shithouse, and the "service" desk it laughable, the workshop looks pretty agricultural as well. There is not a snowballs chance in hell you could sell/service a GTR there.

Trevor in the parts area is the man!

Helped me out countless times, i wouldnt call thier service laughable at all.

Its been 10/10 every single time :thumbsup:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
