Most factory GPS are nothing special, some are crap infact ,i'd rather spend $300-400 on a portable unit (which I did) than have to pay $5,000 more for a car becuase it has a factory sat nav. When my cousin bought a BMW 320i in 2007 he had the idea of getting the sat nav..the dealer told him the factory unit was a P.O.S and to go to JB hi Fi and spend $300 and get a better unit!. I also have a feeling the Sat-Nav and speed limiter are linked in the GT-R.

yes, put i for one would not want to put a portable Sat-nav in a $170K car and make it look all Excel spec

sat nav is overrated anyway.

I agree about cheapening the look of the car by putting in an aftermarket job, however I use the Sat Nav in my 335 every day. Maybe I am just bad with directions.

The spec sheet on the GTR does state:

"Monitor also provides displays and interface for programmable vehicle settings, vehicle information, and audio and navigation systems"

I will see if there is an aftermarket product that will interface through the screen.

Guys, I have some confirmed news about the waivers:

If you have signed the 4 page waiver then you do not need to sign the 11 page one. I have a copy of the 11 page on and I would not sign it......especially the clause:

Small scratches, etc. may be found on the wheels when your vehicle is delivered. These are due to the test drives performed for the quality validation before the delivery.

Anyway, I am concerned about how much driving is done during the "Quality Validation".

Other than that...no more news.

Delivery date for me is 11th April (Easter Saturday) :P

Possibly will be ready a day or two earlier but I will be unavailable and that friday is Good Friday.

The dealership has been kind enough to loan me a car for the 3 weeks between selling my 540 and the delivery of the GTR.

thanks. will keep an eye open on the forums for he next meet. I will have my 590R's coming in from the states in 5 weeks, so maybe after those are on and rolling (and my wife's shock has eased....)

All this excitement must seem a bit old hat to those who have had their JDM R35's for some time now! I have never personally even seen one of the imports yet so my first look will be when I see my car!

wow , never ever seen one in real life?

Your gonna be in for a good time mate, they look absolutely stunning esp from the front

Its sexy and super modern from the side, its got an imposing presence and has the meanest backend with the 4 big tail pipes. When he see's his car for the first time he will not be able to take the smile off his face..... I couldn't :ph34r:

Hi Everyone,

Great forum here... I've pre-ordered mine back in Oct 08 from Northside Nissan Perth, expecting deliver in 2-3 months time.

I have ordered a white one, however does anybody know if I will be getting the Ivory Pearl or the new Brilliant White? I much prefer the Brilliant white. If the ADM model is destined to get the Ivory Pearl, would it be possible for my dealer to request it to be done in Brilliant white? My dealer has not been informed of any change in the white colour.

Many Thanks

Zhi

I've ordered white as well and have seen it few days ago at the dealer.

The new colour is Pearl White and unfortunately it is still "pearly". There is no plain white.

So is your "Pearl White" a different colour code to the "Ivory Pearl"? I have heard the original "Ivory Pearl" has a creamish tinge to it, does yours?

Thanks Mate

I have the white, It is a pearl white. In certain light it looks a little off white, however it is definately an ivory pearl.

The colour looks brilliant on the car with the dark wheels.

Hi Gibbo,

What's the colour code of yours? Is it QX1 (ivory pearl) or QAB (brilliant white)?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
