You forgot to add:

5) We did not get any iPod/MP3 input options

6) We did not get auto lights or auto wipers

7) The Audio HD will only accept original audio files - you can't upload MP3's at all (so basically can only upload original CD's - because like anyone actually buys them anymore...)

8) You can not get a Premium model delivered with the Dunlop tyres that come with the base model.

9) Pulling the down-shift lever quickly 3 times will not drop you down 3 gears. You have to space out the shifts.

10) They should have been designed with a straight mid-pipe from factory!

Other interesting facts :

# 1 - JDM's GTR's have built in DVD players with Dolby surround. (You can watch while driving (not recommended in a 3.5 --> 100km supercar LOL).

# 2 - A set of replacement tyres for the GTR will cost you $4000 retail, $3000 if you goto Talebtyres.com.au. (highly recommend these guys, got Pirrari's for my 350Z at 1/2 the price quoted by local retailers here in GC.

# 3 - I don't think the JDM's have auto wipers the USA ones don't I know that much and I couldn't find a setting on my JDM for auto wipers when it was raining today. Yes they do have auto headlights though.

# 4 - Nissan are a bunch of tight asses for taking out the CF card from the Australian GTR's. They saved themself's $100 and ruined the music system of the car IMO. Making it a nightmare to move any music onto the car and leaving no option for the owner to put in a aftermarket audio system. Seriously for twice the retail price you'd expect to have at least the basic options that the USA car's have. I understand GPS is a bitch to do but CF card removal is just lame on Nissan's part.

# 5 - Nissan Australia are bunch of tossers for not supporting JDM cars infact blacklisting them as much as they can. (ie threatening dealers if they even look at a JDM).

mate i think YOU'RE the one two sticks short of the bundle!.. silvia GTR? i think you'll find it's ACTUALLY called the SKYLINE GTR.

Toyota never made a silvia GTR.. how would they feed the Rb25DETT through the front wheel drive system that silvias have?

not to mention the four door silvias i keep seeing around that have 4wd..

Did you know that Nissan Australia is so tight that:

1) ADM Cars did not get GPS

2) We had to wait months to finally get the floor mats

3) We did not get the card input for our Bose Sound Systems

4) We did not get voice activation for anything

And......

Is it just me or is Nissan being hypocritical by working on current model JDM Skylines which were not brought in by Nissan Oz but won't touch JDM GT-Rs? I mean if Nissan Oz were slow off the mark getting GT-Rs in and we get 12 months of grey imports before they shut the door then why punish the initiative of the JDM GT-R owners when they have no such bugbear with the owners of the Skylines?

im hoping the revised model (series 2? presuming there will be one?) will incorporate some of the 'necessities' highlighted in this thread.

either way, give it around 3 years - i'll probably be buying and driving one regardless if it has ipod input, auto wipers or 'audio HD'.

Are you being serious? I find it difficult to siv through peoples comments to figure out wether theyre being serious or trying some sort of pathetic humour that generally only entertains themselves... or other unfortunate bandwagoners.

But incase this is a superior attack on me I will continue: Thankyou for pointing that out for me but I was already quite aware that there is no such model of car that is my username, part of the reason I chose it really, I wanted to build a Rb26 S13 and the plans have been put on hold for the moment.

I hope I have cleared everything up for your confused little mind, If you were trying some 'humour' please disregard my comments and go back to doodling on your etch-a-sketch, good day :)

Rowan, like most Cefiro owners has a strange sense of humour!

The local Nissan dealer won't touch anything JDM, the parts manager who's a champ told me that its Nissan Australia policy to not work on grey imports - that theres too many variations and models or something like that? Either way they can only do parts apparently.

Well guys the 2010 GTR Specs are now confirmed. They get;

1) The iPod input

2) Auto headlights

3) GPS with 3D Bridview.

4) CD player supports MP3 and WMA

This is good of Nissan to screw us on the 09 and then offer the features we should have got on the 2010.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
