Brookvale is closer to Mosman :)

I understand why they selling the gtr at brookvale, but I dont understand the logic behind the Campbelltown one. I'm not having a go at the south west or anything but I don't think many of the gtr sales will come from people living in or around campbelltown..... I recon they should have done Brookvale nissan and Parra Nissan (central for most of the west) or a Nissan like one in the sutherland shire or hornsby nissan,,,,

On the road for $170k is, as we always knew it would be, a great deal (comparing apples with apples here) when you consider a tiptronic Porsche 997 Turbo is $342,400 at list price.

What I wanna know though is, what's the situation now with regards to second-hand cars coming in under SEVs with Nissan Au planning to sell them new by March/April '09?

But remember- there are only 2 places in the whole of NSW to get your R35 factory serviced, and both of them are in the Sydney metro area!. So the Campbelltown location makes a whole lot more sense for owners living in Canberra (and to a lesser extent, Wollongong/the South Coast).

The grey models will always be worth less as they will not have the local dealer support or local features.

Even 15 years later a Oz spec R32 is still worth much more than the grey ones. I think most of the gray ones will be track cars most of their lives anyway as there are plenty of Targas for them to conquer.

I have heard that dealers will not be allowed to sell anything or service grey import GTRs. Nissan Oz really hate themi t is a pity, they could make more money by embracing their grey brothers, as they will make more money and sell more cars.

this is true- but there isn't exactly going to be a glut of grey import cars people had imported new under SEVs in the future.

ahh, people ASK more for them- but i'd like to see someone sell a stock aus-delivered 32 GT-R for mid $20k these days

there's gunna be such an awesome collection of aftermarket parts available for these after not too long, being a global model and all. in the mean time, i'll keep hustling and saving...

meh nothing new. nissan stealerships wouldn't sell parts for grey import 32/33/34 for years too. look at them all falling over themselves to stock parts now. hell SAU NSW even has trade accounts at a couple of NSW nissan dealers. and its not like its hard to find a vin# to provide with any order.

re the black box...they can show you what their technicians did, therefore they can also decline warranty claims if they don't like how you drove it. Don't think it won't happen, plenty of brands already decline warranty claims including BMW when the "R"ace mode is turned on more than a couple of times. To me the Nissan warranty is no more reliable than the grey import warranty. And there is no way a week's trainining for a bored pulsar mechanic will provide a higher level of expertise than existing import skyline workshops who have been dealing with similar cars for years.

So...how does the on road cost of the nissan cars compare to the imports. all the talk is over now where are the hard figures?

BTW I bought my last sports nissan from campbelltown nissan their sales were very professional compared to the other 3 sydney metro dealers we spoke to. Maybe treating customers right worked for them....

pretty competitive now that the AUD has taken a beating this last month.

I have to say I think nissan's pricing is pretty good, so well done. :D they will sell plenty surely at this price.

It may sound strange coming from me considering I have been responsible for the importing now of a few of them but I'm glad they are bringing them in (though I still wish we could import second hand ones under SEVS) and pricing them fairly. My only complaint is that they are so far behind the rest of the world time wise. They will have been on sale for nearly a year and a half by the time the first aussie customer is driving one which is a bit rough. I still hope to bring in one or two more before the end of the year but it looks like that will be the end of it. game, set, match to nissan! you win this round you handsome devils. :P

So why is it only US$76000 in the states (After the new price rise) which equals roughly AU$97000?? Boxter or GTR???? I would go the GTR LOL

You can also ask how come a Pontiac G8 sells in the states for US$29,300 and yet the Commodore SS which it is based on sells here for AUD$53,900 and yet Holden are protected against import traffis that Nissan aren't.

There is no point in comparing what we pay against what the US pay for cars. You really can only compare what we pay for cars here against other cars here.

So the question should be is the R35 worth say the same as an M3 or RS4 because that's the market its against. (Check out M3 prices in that US as well).

You can also ask is this car worth twice as much as the new EXO X MR SST?

I dunno personally yet but I hope to drive one soon and find out the answer.

Wow.. thats a fair few extras!

Has almost everthing and the ext warranty for everything as well, i think it was just under 50k for the after sales service and the warranty's.

From the Dealer Principle that my order is with here in Perth.

I am #5 on the list, and my sled will be ready in Sept '09

Mike

The one im talking about is #2 (includer the dealers) on the list. Will be good to see two out on the track.

just got an email from Nissan this morning making it official that the car is coming to Australia. The new website is

http://www.nissangtr-au.com/en/web_GTR/GT-R/show.html

But aren't the cars that are coming to australia, the jap spec ones anyway. and the audio system will not be converted till mid to late 2010? either way, for me personally i still love the 34, however the 35 is one amazing machine. BTW has anyone seen the one for sale here on the sunshine coast? it's going for $170,000, with less than 2k on the clock

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
