At $175,000 plus on road costs as stated if bought from a dealer locally (most expensive in country for stamp duty) it will end up around $221,738.10 but $4,000 to $5,000 less in other states, if bought for $160,000 it would be $201,263.10.

Vehicle $175,000.00

LCT is $35363.10

Stamp Duty is $11375.00

Total price is $221,738.10

US basic coverage warranty is 36 month and 36,000 miles so hopefully Nissan Australia will offer the same deal.

Just to clarify, I think the $175K + onroads they quoted includes LCT, registration and stamp duty if in NSW. If not in NSW, you will have to allow for the other onroads such as registration + stamp duty + plates + roadworthy etc as applicable in your state. Basically means for the $175K price, you can drive the car back home to your state with NSW plates etc.

Normally if they stated $175,000 plus on road costs that would mean car only nothing else because on road costs are LCT, Rego, Stamp Duty and so on, if it does included these tax's what other costs would their be.

It would be advertised Drive Away if everything was included as I don't know of a dealer who would advertise a high end car with all tax included as the total price puts people off.

You may be right there...I was summarising what I could remember from the long conversation I had with them. I'm sure if people were wanting to order one, then a written quote would be provided to confirm exactly what is included or excluded.

In any case it is certainly seems to be getting up there in price to get one via these guys, compared to USA prices. Only time will tell what Nissan Australia will be doing with pricing/availability.

You guys are funneh.

You all forget when talking about this price crap is that some muppet out there WILL fork over 200k just to tel his mates hes got a GTR before everyone else.

Bloody oath mang...if you got the dough, why not?

now all the shit talkers sit down and stop dribbling

its been done just like i said

lol

for a car that doesnt have warranty here in Aus

for a 50k+ premium

for something thats all in jap

Oh, and it was not officially possible until after your post, so there were no shit talkers apart from yourself as it wasn't officially released by the gov't

so i am guessing that nissan Australia is bringing the GTR to Australia for over $200k soon????? or are people just talking crap????

I can tell you guys that Nissan Australia have the first Australia Delivered GTR (RED COLOUR) in Melbourne which they are currently evaluating.......

I think my RED R35 arrived in early July, way before Nissan

So that makes my car the first in Melbourne.

Also it's the first to be registered in Victoria

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
