I was also tossing up between an R34 and an R35. The R34 really has a front end look that will always be admired. At the end of the day I went with the R35.

Thanks for the info Mike. I haven't been able to rack much km's on the car as I travelled overseas the very next day of picking it up and not returning till next week. I'll likely follow the recommendations similar to you and give it squirts here and there. Yes it is my first GTR. Had a modded R33 GTS 25T some years ago and also drive a 370gt sedan. I've wanted a GTR since the R33 was released.

Hi all I picked up an R35 last Friday. For the first 500km it says not to rev past 3500rpm and keep in comfort. Then it can be opened up a bit more, but still left in comfort, and to keep revs below 4500rpm for another 1500km. How many of you kept to this? Any issues with Nissan at the first 2000km service if you had not? Looking forward to meeting up with other owners and start getting into track days. (Also I would highly recommend Simon at Col Crawford at Brookvale and Charles who does the financial side of things there. I could not have been happier with the service). Cheers Oz

+1. Wouldn't be affordable if it made that much HP. The GTR isn't competing against likes of 918s or P1's. Its in the class with Porsche GT3s and Turbo's. Also wouldn't look good for anyone who ordered a Nismo R35.

Cole Crawford had a gun metal grey R35 a few months ago and have had nothing as far as I'm aware in the showroom for months. I have to say the gunmetal colour has become my favourite after seeing its at Crawfords. Blisc, I've also gone over to campbelltown. They had 3 R35s a months or so back. I could imagine they get a lot of dreamers coming in, so you really need to dictate the terms. I would tell them I have the money and will buy the car today if the car price is dropped to $x amount. If they don't, then just walk away. Or get it transported from interstate where the prices appear to be more competitive. I'm waiting for the 2014 to hit showrooms.Good luck on the future purchase.

Should have no problem getting one for low 170's. There not all 190K OTR. Take example below, that would be 6-7K off the asking price vs 19K off. http://www.carsales.com.au/demo/details/Nissan-GT-R-2013/AGC-AD-14542007/?Cr=4&sdmvc=1

I took the new VF HSV R8 (340kw) for a test drive and its a very capable car for a large sedan. It's quick enough. It also got a lot of attention. The exhaust sounds excellent. It has presence externally and is a great place to be inside. The VF GTS should do low 4s 0-100 and I reckon a 12.3 1/4 mile. I would not be suprised if it gets Motors car of the year, if basing it on the R8 is anything to go by.

I did a search and I can't find any official complaints made to the ACCC regarding All Imports/ sports auto group. Its good to see that a google search 'Sports auto group R34 GTR' comes up on page 1 and ranked first.

Thanks for this. I'm only going to use it for my bike as well. The thule bike rack I've got is the square one and no the ball type, so hopefully will sit flush and not look too bad. Even getting a roof rack is difficult, but didn't want to do this.

Hi guys really hoping someone can direct me to where I can get a square towbar installed. Been to 3 places that can't do it for a v36 sedan. I want to be able to connect up a bike rack. cheers oz

that is spine chilling (: Look at how warped the passenger seat is. WebRep Overall rating This site has no rating (not enough votes)

A mate of mine has just imported in a bayside blue 2001 R34 GTR Nur. I think only 50 of these were made in that colour.

great looking car, but how come you didn't clean the rust off the intercooler?

Someone who is prepared to spend 85K on a car can also stretch it to purchase a 100K car. The difference is the 2nd hand car in question was 170K new.

find it hard why people buy a car new. 80K as a base price is a lot of money. Sounds like with a few additions it will be closer to 85K. I'd rather put another 15-20K on top and buy a 2009 R35 or get a used e92 M3.
