Just sent off the GTR to Von Bibra at the Gold coast for the 2k POS. The service Manager drove up from there to pick up my car in Brisbane and dropped off a new 370Z.

I suspect trips beyond Brisbane though will be too far for them according to guys from the sunshine coast who have purchased from there.

They have so far been very helpful and eager to please. will post how the experience goes.

Mentioned track servicing and they actually feel the obligations are a bit much and seem open to discussion on this etc

Here is a pic of the Z car.

It is certainly getting some attention on just its first trip out, though that might have something to do with the fact it is canary yellow.

Missing my GTR already though....

yeah the 370Z is not a bad little car. tough to assess though after stepping out of the GTR

just as with the GTR, I think the 370Z looks better in the flesh, really nice proportions

not sure why the sat nav in this car isnt in the GTR though :D

Ugly in yellow - but it comes in quite a few great colours GT-R does not - titanium, blue........plus it has nav, he he he, GT-R suckers.

PS: just joking, relax, alrite.

you guys realise that the GTR can be serviced at Moorooka Nissan in Brisbane?

So you let the service manager drive your GTR from Brisbane to the GC and back????!!

Thats some trust you got there.

I thought the exact same thing, I'd never let someone drive my (future) GTR those distances.. No doubt he'll give it a few thrashes on the highway etc... only reason he's collecting it cause he gets to drive a 370z up and a GTR down and then back again.. who wouldn't, try asking for the same service for a micra lol...

sure do know moorooka are there but trying to remain loyal for now to the selling dealership and see what I get back (30 min to Moorooka for me, 60 to GC). they seem very eager to do what it takes to keep me there even after blunt discussions about track use, servicing costs, alternate oils, brakes, warranty BS etc. Basically trying to develop a relationship with them. If no dice, I tell them I'm off to Moorooka or a third party independent.

They currently are being good though have yet to test the waters seriously,

REgarding them driving it, they break the car they pay for the car. I think they are suitably careful. only the dedicated service guy and the manager are ever to drive it.

strategy may end up all pear shaped but thought it worth a try

I seriously doubt he will thrash this thing more than I will :P

yeah I can understand all that, (that's actually what I thought the case was)... when the time comes to buy the GTR for me (beginning next year) I could just as easily buy it from the gold coast rather than moorooka depending on price and level of service..

will keep thread up dated on level of service for your decision. alternatively pm me when decision time comes

Got the car back on Tuesday and had a rattle from the left ?under the car, was a loose bolt for the panels under the car.

service guy kindly drove to brissi to spend 2 minutes identifying and fixing it for me. They take the panels under the car off during servicing so will probably happen to people from time to time. hopefully useful info for others if you get a sharp almost metallic sounding rattle/vibration in the car. check under by tapping the panels in various locations to identify. I did this but not centrally enough to uncover the loose bolt in question

its ugly that is all :)

I first laid my eyeballs on it at FGN when taking the R35 for it's first service and...... :)

What's up with that rear end (Bum)......looks a bit weird from the rear.....

But hey I would not call it "UGLY".......Will be getting it for the day on my 10k service

and telling you guys all about it then.........

PS: It's a hard life but someone has to do it.....

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
