Wont disclose where or how, but theres a Gunmetal grey R35 Being tested for emissions by Nissan Australia at Ford motor company up in Broadmeadows.

Ive seen the pictures of it on the dyno, on the hoist etc - said to be the first Aussie test car to arrive on our shores!!!

Very interesting - the grey/gunmetal colour looks AWESOME.

Im still not sure if Ford are testing it or if Prodrive are testing it - id most likely say Prodrive.

Exciting stuff ... the dark / gunmetal grey is what I want ... hope we get the full range of colours to choose from.

I wonder when Nissan Australia will be able to release details ?

Indeed my mistake - the car is actually at fords proving grounds, cos the pics I seen of it were in there testing, on the dyno and on the hoist!!

The gunmetal colour looks AWESOME - how lucky would u be working at ford.

I think this car is probably the one that will be displayed at the motor show later this month!! So if its a different colour - id say theres more than one official GTR in the country!!! :thumbsup:

This is possibly that very car, although this picture was taken in NSW. I'm not in a position to give much away at this stage, suffice to say the owner is a bloody funny chap, loves big Nissan horsepower and says the GT-R is simply awesome. I'm reporting the story on my site as it develops and I'm hoping to get a ride in this GT-R on the track in the coming weeks - a video will be made...

This isn't the car that will be at the Melbourne Motor Show.

The link to the story and more pics is R35 GT-R compliance

As an ex-R33 GT-R owner I've got more than a soft spot for the R35.

I retract my statement.

I'm writing a cheque.

When the work is done, a certain someone will post on here to dispel the rumors.

It's very exciting. Some of what has been said is true and some is not true but rumors don't hurt anyone! The people who are bringing this car and others like it in are doing a great thing for the Aussie GT-R crowd who are actually keen on buying one.

Can't wait till the details are out in the open.

Just to clarify....How do you know it's Nissan Australia doing the testing?

We test cars there, too....

If it IS Nissan Australia, that's bad news, but if it isn't (as sewid seems to infer), then that's good news....

so, which one is it?

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • 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?
