Probably better for people to wait after the gold rush ends...

I wonder how the people that paid $80,000 for an STi back in the day feel now when they look in the garage. Best bet is to go down to your local Nissan dealer and make a deposit, then wait.

edit: Kloster group is a Nissan dealer... so I guess, if that dealer knows its allocation and has cars left then it is probably good to get in on that.

When you do the sums buying a new Premium in Japan then calculate everything into it including Duty's, ORC, Insurance, Fringe Benefits Tax and Compliance you will be looking at $150,000 to $160,000 then you want to allow for warranty after that is covered you need to get hold of one.

Whats fringe benefit tax got to do with buying a car lol

FBT is only applicable if you lease the vechicle

or if you register it as a company car under a company name

oh and while on the topic of leasing (which is what most rich business types would do on this sorta car) dont forget the extra 1% luxary tax per annum in QLD... :D

i heard from a reliable source that it will be released here from Sept 2008

I would love to know what source that is. I would wager some dough they are less reliable than you think. if nissan is delivering R35s in September this year I will do a nudie run at the sydney motor show. :D

they may having pricing by september, and they may be taking firm orders then too, but i am fairly certain they wont be delivering any to customers.

I did the math and came out around $135k including:

- FOB cost of the car, buyers fees, freight, bank fees

- Import Duty, GST, LCT, Wharf fees, AQIS fees, DOTARS Fees and customs agents fees

- Compliance costs, Registration, Green Slip, Stamp Duty

- Comprehensive insurance for $120k

- Import Broker fees (which you dont need to add but I chucked in anyway)

Did not include any warranty because I do not believe an aftermarket warranty is really worth the paper it's printed on

I highly doubt the reliability of your source.

Guess we will just have to wait and see eh??

My dealer told me that no dealers have been allocated any cars, or been given GTR dealer status.

All the orders and deposits have been sent to Nissan Oz and they will be dealing with us directly, although I have not heard anything yet.

I do not expect much change out of $150k, as I believe we will only see the PRemium spec and may be the black spec cars here, already loaded with options.

The allocation for Oz is also very small, I heard it will be 6 units per month.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
