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 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

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
