guys..thanks a lot for the update on prices.

finally get a chance to head down to a dealership in VIC coming sat.

atm...looking a white one 7000k private sale $130k to $145k

2 dealer used from $145k to $160k

or a demo black from Werribee Nissan price not tell.... they said upon when sit down and chat.

what you guys think..

Goldcoast Nissan

New Car ---) used car

Practially all high dollar cars lose money over the 1st few years, unless they are really really special, and 250k is still alot different to 190k. Forgot to mention, a GTR is faster than almost all those cars. Its still a bargin.

Your not wrong about the finances though, a few too many people have over extended themselves. Repayments are $750/week give or take

ya its a bargain if you want a race car for the street thats built by nissan, at the risk of sounding like a cock in an R35 or gtfo thread, i would imagine more people who are in a possition to spend 200k on a sports car won't choose the R35 unless it 2nd's as a submarine or aeroplane or something.

Private sounds promising if its an ADM.

I

f the dealers used that tactic on me when they make you go in and sit down I wouldn't waste my time, once they get you in there they'll sweet talk you something fierce, swap numbers around, make the sun shine out of there asses, make you feel asif your joining a family and all that bullshit. Its their turf no matter how prepared you are.

mabye, mabye not

its certainly up the top of the list for me

its not the perfect car, but theres a reason it has got the praise it has, perhaps in the next 12 months something will be released thats better

and 250k is still alot different to 190k. Forgot to mention,

If someone who is spending $190k on a nissan thinks that $60k difference is a lot of money, they really shouldn't buy a car that expensive... but then again when someone losses their car to a financier another person picks up a bargain....

as the saying goes... "one persons misfortune is another persons benefit"

Mabye, i mean maybe? How come Nissan is sitting on stock, why can I walk into a Nissan dealer in Sydney tomorrow and take a new one off the floor? It is very far from most peoples selection process.

Don't forget people who enjoy and know the skylines and gtr's and R35's ect are a tiny tiny minority, have you tried to sell a skyline of any model recently? have you seen the R35 used cars market in Australia recently? Dealers are sitting on cars for months and months and R35's are sitting at dealers for 5 months, I looked at a 2009 ADM R35 @ Rick Damelian at the end of last year, it just sold. The only car that they said has sat there longer is the Koenigsegg thats for sale @ $1.9million.

The market isn't there no matter what anyone says, ive been looking for a new sports car for 6 months and have just ended my search. Most of the same R35's are still for sale to this day.

I forgot to mention it was Premium Gun Metallic for 180K.

In that case it should be a tad cheaper than a super silver. I think the "middle" cost colours were $1750 extra from memory. And I believe Qld stamp duty is now similar to SA stamp duty now just a fraction lower. So overall you should still be looking at around $180K.

You will love it.... Went on an Adelaide hills cruise with my old WRXSA car club today. Those guys don't hang about. When I had my STi I can remember following a Gallardo through the roads near Mt Lofty who was preparing for the Classic Adelaide and through the tight twisties the width of the Lambo meant the subies were swarming all over him as he had no lane width to play with. I felt a little like that with the GT-R but to nowhere near the same extent. But once we hit the wider sweeping roads further out west what used to be a struggle to keep up with their seriously modded cars in my standard STi became no competition in the GT-R. I even asked them if they're taking it a little easier nowdays due to worries about increased policing and they said "no way, were going as hard as we ever did!" So if you're buying this car to enjoy "spirited driving :) " which from the sounds of it you are, you will have a ball.

Alan you are right....people may well be interested in those 2 cars.....they may well be eligibile for import and compliance under SEVS if DOTARS accept under 600klm as near new. If so they would be very cheap to import to aus for road use

    • 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.
