Personally, dont like the ad. It's gay.

Id've been happy if they didn't make an ad for the GT-R.

I remember Carlos Ghosn saying if the car appears on any magazines, on radio, on the tv, then the marketing of it will be a failure (documentary on the new GT-R, i think National Geographic?)

yeah nissan have some cheesy ad on tv... shows the 370z, murano, and GTR in the same ad..... "shift the way you move" or some crap. would be nice to see an ad just for the gtr on it's own. guess nissan have tightened their tv advertising budget..

there's probably not a lot of revenue generated from spending big $$$ on GTR advertising, where the price is out of reach for your average Joe. They are clever in that respect, nissan are a business afterall and probably make most of their money from the small/medium size car market.. so it makes sense that's where they focus their marketing dollars.

I actually don't mind that ad.

Ad's aren't always lathered in product info and demo's to sell the product. Most of the time (as is being seen as a common trend with Cadbury) the ad's are purely used to grab your attention.

I think if Nissan were to change anything in this ad, they should take the Murano out. It's got it's own line of ad's currently, and doesn't fit the theme of the ad (370Z and GTR being sports cars).

I'm not sure what sound they've got (as i don't have volume on my work cpu) but this may make all the difference as bad music will create a bad feeling around the ad from it's viewers.

Some people have mentioned that they wish the GTR had an ad on it's own. And yes that would be good. But it would be a waste of money for Nissan. The GTR is not one of their mainstream cars, and as GTTR34 said, it's out of the price ranges of most average joes. So for most people (excluding GTR fans) they would probably take little to no interest and change channels. And depending on the ad they created, it may very well "cheapen" the image of the GTR.

It's exactly the same reason why Ferrari doesn't advertise.

9/10 people can't afford a Ferrari.

Putting a Ferrari ad on prime time television could possibly "cheapen" its image if it's surrounded by cadbury and kitchen cleaner ads, and would be seen as "common"

Ferrari's brand sells the product, not advertising. Maybe this is what Nissan is trying to achieve. Their maybe hoping the GTR doesn't need advertising, just a little mention in an ad?

You hit the nail on the head. Thats exactly what they said in the making of the GT-R documentary on Discovery Channel a couple of years ago. There advertising was focusing on creating a hype through it featuring in video games and the like, they wanted to make people want to see it, find out more about it and dream of owning it.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
