my dealership suggested that nissan aus would not allow them to sell their demo cars, sounded a bit far fetched at the time. who is selling?

look at the thread on GTR drive away prices for an idea of what might be applicable to your state

Considering its a demo the dealer delivery would not apply, nor should the rego costs. 5,000kms on the clock - IMHO max-150K plus SD maybe.

if you gonna spend that sorta money, may aswell buy a brand new gtr that hasn't been thrashed by 1000 people... just bargain the price down as much as you can,,

Maybe more to the point ..........get some proof to show it hasn't been punished first.....then if still interested negotiate as hard as you can...150k sounds good.

I've bought and owned a variety of cars and have attended enough factory "private" launch for new models. From all this I"ve learnt one thing. NEVER buy a demo, as no amount of saving is going to justify the horrendous "demo" life.

ive been to a few Amg drive days, and Had several Amg's over the last few years (for Weekends) and when you see them going thru a set of Tyre's in a few Hours, brakes cooked to Glowing Point, you could never get me to buy a Demo! lol

But boy its fun when its not your car! :huh:

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
