To give you an idea for when you go in to bargain the Nissan dealer down for a new R35 GTR, the company I work for has a nissan franchise, but we are not a platinum dealer, so no GTR.

If there is almost 15k discount in a 50k Navara, what do you think they are holding back on 180k worth of GTR??

Hey, this car costs them max 130K IMHO.

You are forgeting that dealers want to make some money somewhere and they are not making any selling a Navara with $15k discount even though Nissan are giving them half of the $15 k.

Another thing to consider with expensive cars, every $1 they discount the car buy they only loose 52 cents in NSW . 33 cents goes to LCT, 10 cents to GST and 5 cents to stamp duty. A $10 k discount on th GTR will reduce the dealers proffit by $5200!!!

The reason the price went up was the increase in the LCT from 25% to 33% or around $8 k on a $160 k car.

Agreed. Dealers don't make much money selling the car, although they will try to. Generally though to make anything they have to sell you options and get you back for servicing.

I worked for a large company that did the dealer extras like paint protection etc. and can tell you that good rust proofing (NOT electronic) is the only thing worth having. It's a prick of a job to do for the sprayer and it works bloody well.

Electronic ones are shite and we sold them for $120 to the dealer, who charged $800

Tint with lifetime warranty was $130, they on-sold it for $580

Paint protection, well the bottle cost us about $40 and did about 6-7 cars, they charged $250 a pop.

bastards.... and yet they get upset if you even suggest that car salesmen are scum

They raised the price in the USA by $7000-8000 stately extra production costs. That price is the reason for the $8k price increase I believe in Australia as well. For all cars delivered after June 30th or something like that.

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).

Yeah, i wouldnt do it either...

I was just stating this was the deal on the table from the dealership to retain my business...

Instead I went to BMW...

No that was 3 days ago. Gold Coast had super silver in stock ready to go & Adelaide could supply gun metal in august & another black one in sept (according to sales manager) I expect Adelaide to always be more. Dealers here dont think we would ever cross the border! The BMW dealer here is amazing.....you want discount!!! the last few cars I have bought have been from interstate.

lol i took a lady freind out to look at some years ago to look at some girls type cars.....just to play devils advocate

the guy kept talking up paint protection during the sales process and i advised in the beggining that was something that we did not want

he was adament to sell it to her though

so i said are these cars prone to rust? is that why you have mentiond p,p like 15 times in the last 30 minutes?

and he started stuttering and then we left

I'm reading here that people think there is $15K margin/discount on a top of the range D40 Navara ST-X 4x4 Crew Cab turbo-diesel. Please tell me you people are taking the piss? I've never read such a mistruth in my life!

The Navara D40 ST-X dual cab 4x4 turbo-diesel manual has a retail price of $47,860 + ORC (auto is $50,110 +ORC). The dealer would be lucky to have $4,000 margin!. There has been a national retail offer on this vehicle (on 2008 plated vehicles) for $39,990 +ORC to ABN Holders (a $7,870 discount). Nissan would be subsidising dealers to the tune of about $3000-$3500 of this and dealer contributing ALL their margin to do this kind of a deal. I talk from 7 years previous dealer experience and 15 years in the motor industry.

A GT-R would probably hold about $16-18K dealer margin, plus whatever they charge for dealer delivery (not sure what prep costs are involved tho).

I reckon, buy a GT-R in 12 months time...see if you get charged silly dealer delivery. In Victoria at least, in 12 months I reckon $164K on road would be more than enough for a GT-R standard at a current RRP's.

wheneva I have bought cars I have always worked on not to offer anything less than a 10% discount of total driveaway price.. I'll be buying next years GTR model (I'm in no rush, may aswell wait and see what revisions they make).. Interesting how much it will be next year and how much I can bargain down.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
