GL mate. All good things come to those who work hard.

Bang on Domino. Mine is an August build 2010, which I purchased in Dec 2011. It had been complianced and unregistered sitting on the showroom floor with 33kms on the clock, from Nov 2010 to when I bought it.. Magic Nissan wanted it gone to make way for a 2012, and at the time I was contemplating a 2011, but at that price I had to say YES. It had not been registered or plated until I bought it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had been on the track or driven a few times around the block with trade plates on it, but all I can say is that the tyres were new and she's a beauty, and was totally immaculate when it arrived at my door

Ha ha! I those Ventus just popped up on Tire rack's site. Good call and my bad. I still don't think I'd put hankooks on my GT-R though.

Awesome to have a goal like this, but you'll have to do a boat load of double shifts at MacDonalds over the next 10 years to afford a new one. So IMO, if you've done well at school, get yourself a degree in Engineering (civil/mech/elec) and focus on the Oil/Gas/Mining industry. If you work hard, by the time you're 28-30yrs old you'll be earning $180-220k+ PA - enough to buy property, have the GT-R, and put the kids thru private school.. Depending on whether Nissan keep the R35 line going, a cheap 2nd hand GT-R might be realistic sooner, but they will be 10+ years old by the time you're actually ready to buy unless mummy and daddy have $$$$$$ and will foot the bill. Just after my 36th birthday, I bought my 2010 model new out of Western Australia (delivered to Brisbane) late last year, $138k all up, paid $100k up front (cash + trade-in) loaned the rest - could have paid the whole lot out but elected to pay out the balance on the home loan instead. Figured after spending 7 years working overseas in Hong Kong in construction, I deserved to buy myself a present for spending that long in the trenches..... I don't have a youtube channel, but there are plenty of images of Super Silver 2010 models on google..... Servicing is $400-$600 for minor intermediate services, $1400-$1500 for larger services like 30,000kms and 50,000kms. Brakes are $7k+ for stockies Tyres are $3k+ every 12,000-15,000kms (runflats too)

What colour are the rims, and how much lighter are they compared to 2010 chunkies??

You only have to look over @ NAGTROC to see the tranny failures and other issues, and of course 99% of them on big power mods and owners wondering why it broke LOL... Good to finally see someone with their head screwed on Re: Power modding

hahaha.. indeed Well I had my first experience with Moorooka Nissan here in Brisbane. Aside from the car wash which left marks all over the paint work (I had no idea they would wash it, if I did I would have said no) the service went well, even picked a noise in the rear pillar seat belt housing (common issue) which if gets worse they will replace at the 12month POS or 10,000kms service. The service rep there didn't have too much of an idea regarding aftermarket parts (like daytime LED front lights found on the JDM's) but it was good talking to him regardless about mods and what was happening with Nissan and GT-R warranty extensions in Australia. Also worth mentioning, I had the 6 month and 2000kms POS service done in one hit, cost only $398 inc GST which is pretty well priced IMO.

Not even broken in lol

Damage to the engine on WOT and on boost - high chance yes.. Fuel starvation is never good.. Damage is less likely off boost, but still 50/50

Martin still has more torque than you Domino_z

I was shown the costs of the big services. 30,000kms is $1395, and the 50,000kms is $1495. The others are around $800 cheaper than this - unless you need brakes or tyres Out of interest I had the first 2000kms mandatory, and 6 month service done in one hit, and this came to $385

Pics or BAN!

Try to get a 2010 or later mate. I almost bought a 2009, but the better MFD screen resolution in the 2010 is well worth it!

Potential bottleneck, or just good practice to save the motor?

I just hope they don't go down the hybrid way for the R36, like what people have been saying Mitsubishi is doing with the Evo XI....

Indeed there are 2 camber settings (street + track). I had mine changed to "street" at the first 2000kms service.

Yep yep, done it already, as well as the shifter surround. I really want the knobs though. They're so much better than the 08-10's black bland ones...

Its a JDM 2010, so its a 2008 with a complianced plate done in 2010... Since Dec 2008, no JDM R35's can be complianced in Aus unless they are 2008 vintage. Most of these cars arrived on our shores for less than $90k, and then marked up at a profit in competition with the ADM cars. And warranty? 3 years aftermarket covering what exactly?? Most Nissan service centres won't touch em with a 40' pole either.. I'm not sure if the JDM multi-function display has english. TBE and Cobb tune.... I wonder if the bellhousing has been replaced, and the miriad of transmission issues that came with the 2007/2008 models..... You take your chances IMO, but the price is way too high. Offer $85k take it or leave it.

Let us know if there are any interior parts you're wanting to let go of. I'm particularily after the 2012 carbon covered HVAC radio panel, and carbon covered CD slot panel

Coincidently, Mark from Moorooka called today and mentioned that the email that was received by a member of this forum was in error and there is no extended warranty currently available. Not that I really care at this stage as I still have 2.5 years left, but hopefully Davee is right and Nissan really are working towards an extended warranty for the GTR.

Hahaha, indeed, running into a gutter at the same time I can't select 1st, 3rd or 5th gear is a good idea lol. To be honest, the only parts I want covered are the big ticket items like Bell housing, Dash Cluster and Transmission. The sum of all these parts replaced would be about $35k. While I don't plan to mod my GTR, but these seem to be the main ones that fail on stock cars.

$4k a year to warranty parts and labour, and yet for me $900 a year to warrantee the entire car with Suncorp in the case I have an accident?? That seriously doesnt make sense mate!

There was a recall and 6 year replacement guarantee for the instrument cluster in the US. Check out the nagtroc forums for the details on this, and see if it also applies to Australia http://www.nagtroc.o...-is-flickering/ Interesting news on the underwriters. I have also heard that Allianz do the underwriting of the initial 3 year wty, so its good that they are involved in the extended one.

It has a bung diff, and probably other bits needed to make it work properly again. Its a good deal tho if you can pony up 60 big ones!

$60k.. man thats cheap cheap.....
