Does anyone have any info on the total number of road registered R35 GT-R's kicking around Oz so far - JDM and the Nissan Aust delivered ones.

Nissan Aust website says they pre-sold 150 for delivery in 2009 - just wondering if this sounds about right.

I was told that Australia will be allocated 600 GTR's for the first 5 years, and of that 500, 200 allocated for 2009..

600 is a lot. Not quite sure we will have 600 buyers - but hopefully they all sell ASAP.

That's what i was told too, before the "production cut" ie. GFC effects.

I think the numbers might be lower than that

.........and the way DOTARS is setup we can forget about topping those numbers with grey imports - since Nissan Aust already imported the car...............damn.

I don't see the numbers exceeding 300-odd for the life of the model.

Is it 600 or 500? or was it going to be:

"600 GTR's for the first 5 years, and of that 500, 200 allocated for 2009.

Of the remaining 200, 50 will be delivered a year to bring the 300GTR's to Australia.

Nissan expects that the happy 200 GTR owners will all be not voiding their warranties, and as such have made provisions for enough mechanics to work on 150GTR's.

The extra jobs from servicing the 100 gtr's will bring much wealth to the economy"?

(yes, i just made that up)

Kind of relevant:Europe is currently in the process of delivering the first GT-Rs to more than 2,200 pre-order customers. The model R35 GT-R was first launched in Japan in December 2007, selling 5,900 units until March 2009. It went on sale in the US in July 2008, where 2,100 have been sold so far.

It definately would've also had a shift kit and 3000rpm schtally bro. GTR never had a chance.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
