hahaha if that company secretary had some 'intelligence' in that head of his he would just jump onto SAU :teehee:

Yeah Nissan Oz should use SAU as it's market research base. They would also benefit from official SAU advisors.

1. Snot came out my nose when I spotted the "picture from the fringe"! lol

2. Dmac, it would be wise to be careful about your personal details and where the email originated from.

3. Anyone else notice the Nissan man's surname? Does that allude to the chance they have of stopping greys I wonder????

lol I think Colin Buckley and his vast intelligence gathering frenzy is a result of the dent we've made in his retirement plan.

I'm sure this forum and this thread will come to the attention of Colin at some point in time, so to him I say:

Keep in mind we are Skyline loyalists. You gave up on us in 1992, we never gave up on the GT-R or Nissan. We were left high and dry by a fickle minded unadventurous pack of retards that headed Nissan's management circles to our own devices. This is why we operate from the fringes.

Now that you have a new cash cow and see an opportunity to charge your customers $30,000 per car over its value in other similar markets, you are doing your level best to eliminate the competition. You don't care about the GT-R, its heritage, its fanbase or its legacy. Most "fringe dwellers" supply these cars as there is a demand for them from us enthusiasts, they don't sit around with their thumbs up their arses to release a car two years after the official launch in its country of origin.

You'd think Nissan Australia would work with us GT-R enthusiasts like they do in Japan, UK and the USA.

it should also be noted that most of those importers put their own considerable time and money on the line to bring in cars like the 32 GTR, 33 GTR, 34 GTR and now the 35 GTR. it's a big risk for them and a big investment.

I would suggest that rather than playing spy games you focus on worrying about your own house and leave the rest alone. if you run a good business, offer good service and competetive pricing then you have nothing to worry about.

Seriously, SAU makes a better, harder working, more loyal, faster acting company then Nissan Australia... We have nothing to worry about :whistling:

This is a joke right? No-one is going to be intimidated by this shit, I had a good chuckle when I read it, i'm sure most other people will too. It's like a little covert operation... which we're all poking fun at :whistling:

All I can say is that this forum and other car forums are frequent by marketing ppls from all sort of makes, so yes they will be reading this thread and yes, they take some of the level headed comments on board but at the end of the day ppls here see GTR as a passion and nissan see it as $$$$$, facts of life and on that email alone would have made the "fringe dweller" shit their dacks... litterally.

The law are their for intepretation from different side and one way of getting your point accross is to perpetuate a proceeding and see how deep your pockets against your opponents, and you cannot defend yourself if your not there on the day.

The only way I see this going anywhere we all want it to go is revolt on mass and deny the respect that the R35 deerves and the "target demographic" buyers will soon go back to their Porsche/BMW

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
