I heard a confirmed rumour that a certain large Nissan dealership in Brookvale will be one of the 2 sydney dealers.

Pity I cancelled the GTR order I had with them...

Apparently Nissan will be making a formal announcement in October.

Ive spotted the Haltech/Envy 35 driving into said Brookvale dealer when they launched the new service/parts building. Got photo evidence too :banana: Wouldnt suprise me if they got dealership status for the 35, big money been poured into that dealer in the last couple of years.

Be good to see Nissan finally making a decision on what they actually going to do with this car in Australia. The price tag will be the only thing I am not looking forward to seeing!!

might be wrong but is the brookvale nissan dealership also owned by the same people running bmw, mini & honda? (maybe more)

Looks like I was right about Col Crawfords being one of the dealers.

If I had kept my order, I would have been 1st GTR sold at CCM :P

It seems dealers will be getting 3 cars per month from April. With Brookvale already taking *a few* orders that will push any new deliveries (post today) out to august/september next year.

Does anyone know how many orders Cambelltown have taken thus far?

Yes there are quite a few people placing orders with Col Crawford Nissan now that only two dealers will be selling the R35 GTR. I work there myself and cant wait to be able to look at one from my desk all day :P

Do you know how many have been ordered at Cambelltown? Also if you order via Dealer A, can you get servicing at Dealer B? I assume so but this car is a tad dfferent to normal Nissans i suppose, so you never know. (eit: i believe you can only get the cars serviced at propert certified GTR dealers right?)

Brookvale and Campbelltown :dry::):rofl:

What planet are these guys from Nissan on :kiss:

No one with $150K is going to go to Campbelltown to buy a GTR. Even Brookvale is far from ideal, the appropriate demographic is City, Eastern Suburbs. Lower North Shore and Inner West. Where the BMW, Mercedes and Porsche dealers are. :P

But you don't have choice do you? There aren't any decent Nissan dealerships in those areas are there? that's because other than the GTR you sell low demographic cars that compete on price alone. Just another reason why selling GTR's through the current dealer network is a joke. Once the "new GTR" charisma has worn off, no one is going to drive to Campbelltown or Brookvale to buy one, let alone get it serviced and stand in line with the great unwashed.

No cheers for Nissan Australia

I dont really see what the problem with Col Crawford is... They have just poured millions into a new Parts & Service facility and its an amazing building. They seem to be doing something right with BMW as that sector has only grown over the past few years. GTRs would be selling to the same demographic of people as those buying M3s and the like. Luxury sport cars are what Col Crawford is all about when it comes to brand new, so why wouldnt Nissan Australia choose this massive dealership network to showcase their pride and joy?

And as for the location, Peninsula Holden is one of the largest, as well as GBrothers Merc in Mona Vale.

The Northern Beaches is a prosperous area and the surrounding suburbs are filled with population that has cash for cars like the GTR. You have some fairly 'rich' suburbs within 10 minutes drive, like Mosman, Gladesville, Belrose, St Ives etc. Even from the CBD Brookvale is 15 minutes in light traffic. Brookvale is about as close to the 'Lower North Shore' as you'll get without being in the area altogether.

^^^ This guy is on the right track as i said i work at Col Crawfords and it is a huge dealership we have got the new multi million dollar workshop / service / parts centre which if anyone hasn't already should go and check it out. We are 10 franchises and 5 used car yards not small in my books and Mich we now own peninsula holden so it is now Col Crawford holden and is moving in the next few weeks from Dee Why to Brookvale opposite the mall medical centre .

And Sydneykid Nissan didn't just decide that Col Crawford and Campbelltown would get the GTR by they pulling them out of a hat, it was earned on performance and figures giving us and Campbelltown platinum dealer status.

Ah, so thats why they cleaned out the renault & kia showrooms! I was wondering what all the new signs that they are putting up were. Good to see the lion go under the Crawfords banner.

Cant wait to see some GTRs on the showroom floor. ;)

EDIT: Just had a thought, do you mean opposite the medical center as in next to the bus depot? If so.. HOLY CRAP.

Na Mitch you are correct in that it will be located where the renault, kia and suzuki showrooms were. Renault will now be joined in between Nissan and Hyundai showrooms and are there now and kia / suzuki will be the next building going north from Nissan on pittwater road where the TAB was.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
