I was just watching on the gtrnissan.com site the launch of the new gtr and when he said it will be on sale for almost 70K I nearly droped everything and wanted to move to the US. Why are we going to pay almost twice as much, mcbullshit I say, and don't give me that american dollar is stronger, its only a bit stronger.

70K is affordable at somepoint in my life, but 150-170K wont be any time soon :)

Just my short rant! lol

Hey dude,

I read somewhere that it will cost arouend 60-70k AUD once it is release in Aus. And our dollar against US isn't so much as double! Also, You got to remeber that Nissan want to compete in the market, I don't think it wants to charge a fortune for a supercar even though its a car with heritage, there main aim is targeting average class people apposed to richie rich. basically trying to offer a supercar which is affordable against all odds. The Final price will be determined my market and economic trends and the people behind it all have a far idea on a resonable price.

If I find out that website which stated the AUD price then I 'll post it, but in the mean time jsut google it and you'll find some info :laughing-smiley-014:

id much rather a R34 GT-R! they only look about 10 times better. and a hell of a lot cheaper.

the R35 looks nice in red though, i must admit. the "hero" silver colour is very boring and appears on every other prestige car you will ever see. and its not even a skyline!

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
