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.

iM PAYING DEPOSIT AND PUTTING NAME DOWN BY FRIDAY, ALSO ASKING FOR LETTER OF PLACE IN QUE CONFIRMATION, THATS WHAT I DID WITH nEW m3 DEPOSIT 1 1/2 years AGO AND WORKED WELL. WILL let you know how it goes and post outcome.

even cheaper option, buy a 32/33 and spend $20k on it and have lots left!

I'd buy a RS4 for R35 GTR kinda money, no question!

Have you driven an RS4? I have an whilst it is an unquestionably nice car - I don't think they are worth the $$$ charged for them. At this stage I'm thinking the R35 will be a better car for $$$ machine than the RS4 is (but only driving one will really tell).

Yes currently i have an RS4, black/black.. mods are H+R Springs/sways and the full Milltek exhaust, 100 catts/downpipes /cat back. its putting down 237@ ATW.

i had intended to trade it on a new M3 when my order arrived but based on the reviews it dosent appear to be any better, so i let the order go last month. The RS is such a sweet car that seems to cover all bases as its a daily driver and did 10 odd track days last year and a dutton rally(NSW), it has also run a 12.883 1/4. not bad for a sedan haha, i run michelin Pilot cups265s. But being a car nut im always looking for the next dream car, faster, sexier etc. Im planning to keep for 2008 and do the AudiVW car series in it, and drive to work lol.

I really love the look of the new GT-R, especially the front and rear, not so much the side on .But i love the German build quality.. this car appears to be closing the gap, nasty performance and pretty luxorious looking interior to. so seriously thinking of putting deposit down. BMW took 1000 bucks only so im sure nissan would be similar, and refundable if you change your mind.

When i called BMW to ask about waiting list , they didnt have one so i gave 1k and asked for a letter confirming deposit and my number 1 spot, which they did(alto artarmon).

I suggest we try the same approach with nissan, if they dont have a list yet, make them start one with u as number 1.

anyhow, hi fellas, GT_rs are nasty lol

Happy new year :)

I did just that ... 2 months ago.

:)

RS4 is an awesome car, I just couldn't quite bring myself to buy something that conservative in appearance ... it would be like admitting I'm getting older.

BTW ... I had to put down $2,500.

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.

How would it be cheaper to buy one from nissan??

They are 90k AUD here. They're going to be a MINIMUM 145k in Australia. Storage for a year plus shipping couldn't be close to 55k??

I was told today that the R35 wont be warranted by Nissan if you import them in yourself.So i assume that means the cars are for race use only and cant be registered.

well like I said in my post if you are not currently living in japan then that's a shitload of effort to go to. moving countries for 12months... ok, let's say you find someone to do it for you (and this assumes nothing goes wrong and they don't drive or fk up the car).

$90,000 AUD for car

$5,000 for person to do all this work for you and look after it (at least)

$4,000 1 years parking space lease

$3,000 1 years rego in japan

$2,500 shiping

$9,000 GST

$9,900 import duty

$7,000 luxury car tax

now bear in mind you've been without $100,000 for 12months, and when you get the car it's 12 months old. even at conservative investment you could have earnt $10,000 on that money in the 12 months and you would be getting a brand new car. and the car would have warranty. I'm not saying don't do it, if you want to then go ahead. but it's only really viable if you are living in japan. if you aren't then you will need to look at things pretty carefully. All those figures are just off the top of my head but not too far out. as i said in my original post, if you live in japan sure it's viable. if you live in australia is cheaper and easier to buy one here than to do a personal import. unless you buy a personal import from someone in japan who has put up their own money, driven and enjoyed the car for a year then sells it to you.

Does this mean you don't comply your car? You just get a Road Worthy and then Register it?

:P

      RB gearbox options

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny.

      I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update

      By OO Dan OO · Posted

      The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.

      those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
