The 33 and 34 were never offered aussie delivered...

anyway back to the main topic;

I had a deposit down within a week when it was announced in Japan, through nissan at windsor for a new GTR...

I was quoted $130-135k for the vechicle with no ETA date...

Some months went by and then the "premium" GTR dealers were announced and windsor was not one of them...

I phoned and was told the price is now $160+ and that they could source one through a sister dealership...

Then getting the deposit back was a nightmare to say the least, they wanted to give me a pulsar in exchange for the deposit money...

The dealer had obviously banked/spent my deposit... Im really pissed cause it was 8 months I didnt have $25k sitting on my house loan...

I will be waiting for a second hand one to pop up, once they get to around 100k ill jump in... In the mean time Ill just enjoy something else...

omg, u are so far the cheapest price i believe. which dealer is it? did u bargain all the way down to 167k or they just simply offered you that price?

when did u order yours?

I didnt negotiate at all, but i placed the order as soon as they would take them, so perhaps that was a factor (the price was a bit spongy at that early stage, but they wanted to lock people in too). And remember there has been a price rise since.

The counter offer they gave me was $170,500 drive away in premium, white...

After I blew up like a second hand lawnmower...

Paint pretection, floor mats and seat protection included... That was all the options they had at the time...

NOTE:

Bare in mind they had my deposit and didnt want to have to give it back, they had also quoted on a car they could not purchase direct, i blew up royaly, also this was before price rises...

Paint pretection...

Doo's if you get one mate, do not, i repeat DO NOT, get "paint protection", it is possibly the biggest rip-off in new car sales this side of the GTR servicing costs. I know some manufacturers charge nearly $1k!! (might cost them $75 for the kit).

It does nothing, does not last the x number of years they claim and they will royaly screw your paint which will cost you $$ to get it fix professionally by a proper detailer. You have been warned...

oh, this applies for ALL new cars...

carry on

I went afterarket and got the 3m film across the front and various other places, then the ST1 paint protection.

ALSO: Martz...there are only two dealers in NSW with the GTR and I told you which one it wasn't......I cannot believe I am having to explain this....it's like a joke where you have to explain the punchline. :(

That film looks like an interesting option, satisfied with it?

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
