Where Can You Order A R35 In Nsw


Recommended Posts

Anyone know how to go about putting your name down? He has tried quite a number of Nissan dealers who all say they can't currently help as they don't even have pricing information let alone a waiting list!?

Would be pretty stupid of nissan not to release these figures so that cars could be preordered. I have heard of it happening already in VIC.

They are taking tentative orders, your dreposit secures a place in line but there is no solid pricing or spec info at this stage. When i first enquired they told me to expect around $120,000 now they are telling me anywhere upto $160,000. They were taking deposits based in 120-130 ath the start and seeing that it looks improbable that they will be that cheap those people will subsequently have their deposits returned if they no longer wish to proceed.

Remember that very early on when there was first rumours of Nissan bring the GTR to Australia, early estimates saw the base model price at around $80-90k.

Anyone that actually thought that was even remotely accurate had it seriously backward and I think we will find current estimates of a ~$160,000 odd price tag for an Australian delivered model will be much closer to the mark.

Either way $160,000 is damn cheap for the performance on offer.

Yep the GT-R cud be priced around AUD150k ovr at your end and here in Spore its gonna cost at least SIN$288K but then its already on the road here:

Dont know the number allocated for Spore but one importer have at least 16units on order and delivery slated for Jan '08.

Its a shit, Nissan NZ wont be getting any in new because they cant offer the Nissan New car service they provide with every other new model purchased.

Something to do with not having the qualified mechanics or necissary tools needed to do the yearly engine teardown required :)

Very sad. But they will be grey imported no doubt. There was one on Trademe last week that dissapeared. Was on for $169000NZD if i remember right.

I dont see why not, probly cheaper and easier to buy your own via Japan tho wouldnt it

Just you can only import the GTR into Aus as a Rally/Race not drive on public roads! does anyone know of places in NZ that Comply them?? Would complying them in NZ and Bringing to Aus be the same???

Could you buy the New GTR and get it sent to NZ and then bring it on a boat to Aus??

from what i know you cannot import a car unless you have lived in that country your importing from for at least 6months/a year.

lol, import laws and registration laws have nothing to do with where the car is from. doesn't matter if you import one from bangladesh it's the same law. so sending one from japan to NZ then to aus would be a massive waste of time and money. having a car registered in NZ doesn't matter a damn. last I checked NZ is not a state of australia. :D

The rules that were in effect when i brought my GTS4s into OZ a while ago were that you had to own and use the car for 12 months before you could privately import it and then the car had to be on the DOTARS list of approved cars to bring into AUstralia. Cars that are sold new in Australia generally can't be imported in unless you get around it by the model year etc as with some of the imports. You could always check with Dotars and see if a 2007 or 2008 car is eligible as a private import, as the OZ delivered ones will be 2009 models won't they? and then move somewhere for a year and then get one second hand (somehow) inported to that country...

that's wrong. personal imports are not restricted to SEVS listed cars. you can import ANY car as long as you have owned it (and lived) overseas for 12 months. even if that exact model is sold here in full volume. so if you are currently in aus that means moving to japan, buying and registering the car, leasing a parking spot. wait 12 months. then move back to aus with the car. it will be far cheaper and easier to buy one from nissan unless of course you are currently living in japan anyway.

Thanks fieds.

I'm in QLD but at this stage I think it would probably apply Australia wide. When I tried ordering one a few months back I was advised that Nissan will only sell the GTR through dealerships which "qualify" for the GTR by having specialist trained mechanics and various other provisions in place. As no-one has any such mechanics yet, no-one yet knows who will qualify to sell the GTR. Therefor no-one knows who will get dealer rights for the GTR in Australia. Therfore no-one can take a deposit because they don't even know if they are going to be dealers or not.

No doubt the larger dealerships will most probably attain dealer status, but at this stage no one does.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
