Everyone,

If you are seriously considering one of these, and you have the money, go to your NISSAN dealer and sign up. They are taking expressions of SERIOUS interest.

One dealer per state will be appointed. A few applications have already been lodged with WANNEROO NISSAN.

I have been told that there will be one model only of GTR to be sold in Australia.

Latest news suggests allowing 120K and a specificiation specifically for Australia.

In talking to them, this would mean the car is configured to appeal to the broadest market and also there would be only one model type being brought in.

Hmm, do you just go in & ask for the poverty pack version, or is it a case of taking whatever they will give you?

i hope to hell Nissan only bring them in in restricted volumes (ie RAWS/SEVS friendly at a later date)

I think what they are trying to say is that they will choose the specification of the car - ie. 4 spot vs 6 spot brembos, 7spd auto and 6 speed manual (probably both), 480bhp version v530bhp version, carbon panels vs no carbon panels.

My feeling is that smoewhere in the middle would be the most appealing...i.e similar to a vspec. I dont know that the base model would be too appealing. *imagines steel wheels, and vinyl interior* :P

I was in Claremont yesterday and spotted TWO DB9's.. one convertible and one hardtop.. rich khants!

I start a sweet new job on Monday that pays a fair bit of coin but I think I'll have to wait till they start appearing on the used car market before I get a new GTR O_o

ha - by the time i get my hands on a gtr (it prob will be a r32 :nyaanyaa: ) the 2008 gtr's will then be on the used car market....

530bhp version would the the highest output from a commercially sold car in australia wouldnt it? (395kw)

(i realise that there are higher output cars, but they are usually private imports)

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
