The price is reasonable for somebody who wants to sell quickly, all the GT-Rs on carsales are priced too high.

The only movement I have seen lately was an SA registered 09 which was advertised at $126k and had gone through a few price drops.

44,000kms with some wear showing on the seat side bolsters? Certainly sounds genuine and could be a great buy!

Completely agree - all the ones listed for 140K or so are simply not selling, but I know of at least 3 that sold for mid 120K with 10,000kms or around there, so this price is pretty spot on for a person that wants to sell.

Rego says it expires in March 2011 - but I thought the early ones were only delivered in May 2009 - could it be possible this is one of the early Nissan Aust cars. Regardless, 44,000kms in 18months lets say is a lot, but not excessive - its only around 570kms per week, so its just your regualrly driven daily driver.

Depreciation from 162-165K to 105K is also pretty normal.

Shame its not silver or gunmetal.

This makes one wonder if a few more of these will ultimatley lead to values intersecting with the R34 GT-R VS-II NUR.

This one has already come down to below the value of the N1 R34 GT-R. :P

For sure, just look at the Japan prices for the Nur and compared to R35's you'll see that Nur will be the future classic...................damn, I knew it.

it would have to be a long distance commuter car. in 12 months that's over 3,500 kms a week, which is over 500kms a day 7 days a week! or over 700kms a day 5 days a week. that would be impossible to do in just short 5km-10km trips unless the bloke was a courier... lol.

damnn, does he just hop in and forrest gump that sh!t down to NSW daily? :P

Hmmm. . . someones needs to go back to school

12 months (52weeks) x 3500 kms a week equals 182,000km in a year. . .not 44,000km :P

Less beer Beer Baron :D

846.153846km per week.

169.230769km per day 5days per week. Work is 75km away? allow for shops etc. or work is 50km away, and allow for weekends.

Or call it a drive to a holiday house over the weekend and a couple of drives to work? Not many kms for a year...

I dont remember them having a black one

From memory they had a GMG and a red one

EDIT: Maybe the red was another GMG. Too long ago

there's more than one supercar club in oz :D

I doubt its from the Supercar Club, they only offered a limited number of km's per year on each type of membership so I doubt it would of racked up 44k in 12 months.On a slightly different not does anyone have 105k I could borrow interest free for say the next 20 years :D

Those cars had the k's going wild!

The average each year was around 40000k's (from the horses mouth) so its quite possible.

Honestly, i think 105k is a reasonable asking price and have no doubt it will sell reasonably fast at that...

44k on the clock does not concern me at all, i do about that per year with work in my car...

hence i turn it over every 18 months to 24 months...

my SS I sold with 78k on the clock, the car before that with 67k...

the new car i picked up eariler this year already has 26k on it...

I never leave south east Qld either... Some days I can do 150km easily and not leave Brisbane...

I would have no hassles buying this GTR, in fact if I was buying again now id be looking at it...

44000km in one year! I wish I got to drive my car that much!

Be interesting to see how nice it drives compared to a normal low kay example.

Mine is nearly 3 years old now with barely 14000km on it.

Not exactly my favourite car for a daily drive/commuter.

Either that or this particular GTR has done LOTS of dyno work!!!

Not the best colour either in my opinion........

I thought about this thread yesterday, so i reset my odometer...

It was a heavy day on the road for me yesterday, I did 370km and never left Brisbane...

So as I said eariler 44k in just over a year is easily done if in my line of work...

GTR may not be the most suitable car tho... :D

lol, yeah me not count so good!!! it was 3500kms a MONTH not a week. somehow I did 44,000 / 12 and skipped straight to weeks... :blush:

funky could be right it could be a ex prestige car club car. they do rack up a fair few kms...

Will the new owner reveal why the price was so low to stop all this speculation ( asuming he is a forum member) ?

btw congrats to a beaut car!!!!!

What's "so low" about $105,000 +SD for an 18month old car with 44,000kms on the odo, that originally cost $165,000 on the road - it seems spot on. How much would you pay for it mate, 155K hehehe. Owner clearly wanted it sold, he wasn't keen leaving it on carsales for 12months like some of the people advertising their cars on carsales.

Agree completely. I have been following the prices on carsales all year in anticipation of eventually selling my Evo X and moving on to an R35, and many of the cars have been on there for a long time - eg. the white SA car mentioned in the this thread had been on there for as long as I've been watching.

Maybe the fact that it sold in an instant might allude to why the price was perceived as "so low"?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
