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?

is it only in WA that the prices are high ? shouldnt the price be standard australia wide?

Go see Ben Dalgleish at North Side Nissan and see what he can do for you, Terrific guy...

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
