In theroy, for someone to import one, someone has to sell one second hand in japan. The waiting list for one is far too long to just rock up and buy one with the sole intention of shipping it overseas.

Therefore nissan is missing out on a sale if a second hand one is baught here in australia rather then another one being baught new from a dealership. While this 2nd hand vehicle would probably be baught anyway in japan, this is besides the point.

But I have this to say to nissan:

DONT SEND THE NINJAS!

No.

Only NEW vehicles are eligible for import into Australia so Nissan Japan get the profit and Nissan Australia get a cleaveland steamer from ylwgtr.

Interesting the GT-R doesn't look as big with a commodore in the picture.

And Nissan Aus you crafting bastards! it's our gt-r not yours.

lol at this whole thread, but seriously wat is mr.colin buckley gonna do if we buy on through grey imports??

i cant afford one but if i could i would definately buy grey import rather then through nissan aus. so much cheaper and more power.

Here's a couple pics of the WA one in Fremantle going past the pub, and along the cafe strip :(

i think we should have a window of 2-3 months to import the r35 under sevs (if u have the $$$$ i think a few workshops are working at now it and its just a matter of time) before nissan get access to full volume. prob here is how many gtr's can be bought and sold during that time?.

Colin if u are reading this, im sure most ppl who wanted a gtr will now source it directly from japan, so price it well DONT de-tune it like the s15. please learn from your mistakes.

simple statement.

WE are loyal to the car NOT the Nissan Australia dealership.

here is a great opportunity to win back the enthusiast/fan base. This is NOT a good way to start btw.

u are fighting the very ppl who have worship the legacy of the gtr and have brought the new gtr to the status that its at. this car will simply sell itself so ditch ur marketing team ,advertising etc etc and pass the savings onto your customers.

Agreed.

Sure Nissan Australia need to make a profit, and show that they can sell the car, but why oh why would anyone buy a locally delivered car, if the imported ones are better?

I'm not talking abstract dealer servicing or local knowledge, or any of the other so called "service" that they spout about (and rarely deliver on), but the pure abilities of the car.

If I can get more performance for the same price by grey importing, then I will do just that.

The GTR is a hero car. Nissan probably won't make much profit from it, but it will raise the profile of the company greatly. Getting people walking through the showroom doors is half the battle.

Driving a De-tuned GTR would be like going on a date with Jessica Alba, and finding out she's a man. True your friends wouldn't know, but deep inside, you'd know the truth and want to strangle yourself with you own intestines.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
