Very nice car you've ordered; but yes, it's better business sense to get the R35.

And then even when you can, the performance spec of the V-Spec will be out by then too! Decisions Decisions!

Do you want to get the R35 for track work? Like others who already have them here or coming here, that's what they're ready for - or used for private roads depending which state gov't you're under I think.

If you're using the R35 for road use and want to keep warranty (and are willing to not modify it, since sensors detect this and that being done to the car), it's advised that you'll wait for Nissan to land it here for you. I believe that in each state capital city, only a limited no. of dealerships will stock that car and furthermore, only a few mechanics in those dealerships will be trained up to work on the R35.

Mind you, what's to stop one of the import firms from hiring that trained mechanic??? After all, they're only paid f***ing $25/Hr fully qualified and at a Service Advisor level. Interesting point.

Hi thank you

i will use more on the road. so must be road register.

any idea how much nissan australia sell for?

You're choice. If you import one then you won't have warranty. If you buy locally you'll get warranty, but warranty won't be much good if you're going to mod it...

Hi.

I understand with warranty thing. but the point is. how many GTRs Nissan bring in and when i can get the car.

cheers

Hi Again,

When I signed a letter of interest with Nissan Springwood, they kept me in the loop as best they could by telling me that October 2009 will be the earliest for the Non V-Spec.

Cost? Who knows - perhaps $159,000 approx

Regards,

Terry

looks like you'll be waiting til 2010.

Hi

For the price $159000. is that standard edition or black edition or others?

OCT/2009 wow. that take a bit too long

I wish i was stuck in your situation.......

"Hmmm do i keep my newly ordered R34 V Spec or purchase a R35.....Hmmmmmm"

Bastard! ;)

Yeh.

i know what you mean.but more i look new R35GTR. it just make me want one.

so i guess. i can only try now

What not keep your Nur, since it's quite amazing, and then replace it with the R35 down the track? You're only putting a deposit down for one, no need to sell the Nur this VERY SECOND FREAK! :glare:

Hi

i know want you mean.

i was thinking the same. keep rare v-spec2 nur and get R35GTR later.

but more i look new GTR. i really want one now.

so Nur got to go

Yeah I'd keep the Nur for a while, wait for the dealer markup to go down on the 35's and pick up a nice second hand one a year or two after release... but hey, that's just me :down:

i really dont think i can wait that long and i dont think second hand R35GTR will drop that much in a year or two

thanks guys

be prepared to wait, it seems 2010 is the kick off for the GTR in OZ

Keep the Nur for a bit, because lets face it, it's an awesome piece of kit in it's own right. Wait for the fringe dwellers (RAWS workshops) to get into the swing of bringing these things in, and pick one up after the initial rush has died down.

Oh and don't hold your breath for the importers either, they have a bit of song and dance to perform before they're road registering the new R's, but it will be a lot quicker than Nissan Oz, that's for sure

Keep the Nur for a bit.

Word in the underground is that the first R35 will be road registered in NSW soon, and will be for sale for $160k

If and when that's the case, buy one then. Don't wait for Nissan Aus, and don't try and comply it yourself. Just my 2c. :glare:

Australia wont get the V-spec.

You can count on that...

unless some wily coyote gets it through Sevs, which i dont think will ever happen.

Mines,

If you want to, you can pay me 9 million yen to buy one here and i can keep it here in Tokyo and send it back as a personal import.

That way you save around $40,000 on one in Oz and you have one a year earlier than almost everyone else.

I promise i wont thrash it.....

Too hard.

:D

I agree with afew ppl here, keep the Nur for abit.

They are an absolutly great car and a refinment to the max as opposed to the other RB26DETTs.

Its a real big head turner, especialy in the Millenium Jade colour.

The possibilities for tuning a Nur to stand upagainst the R35 GTR, I believe would be quite possible.

Dare I say it but IMO the R34 GTR is an overall better looking car with Nismo Bodykit and a set of LMGT4 wheels.

I know its random but does Aust get the watered down version of the Japnsese R35?

Because then your answere is clear, import.

It will have to be remapped due to the poorer quality fuel.

I dont think this counts as a "watering down" per say, but merely an unavoidance.

impulse buying at it's best :( , what ever car, you'll have fun, by the sound of it, moneys not the problem, throw enough money at someone and you could have the car sooner than others, still might have to wait a bit

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
