Nissan's On The Hunt For Grey Importers

I have to agree about the servicing... Let's not forget that the first people in the country to have and work on these cars, are the workshops that bought them... They already know more then the people at Nissan Aus who aren't even selling them just yet...

Envy Imports, Croydon, Just Jap... They are all well ahead of Nissan Aus and have seen the performance side of the Nissan range for many MANY years, while Nissan Aus has been dealing with Tiidas and patrols...

I know who I would trust

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.

well said mate!

very well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bravo

i wonder if there is some low ranking tosser in nissan now looking on the net trying to bust "fringe dwellers" s he can get his little reward

Oh man his breath must smell like di#k.....

genuine parts are expencive because theyre f**king better than any shitty aftermarket parts (im talking stock replacement ones not upgraded modifications). when you take your car to a dealership, you get people who actually know how to do the jobs, have the right tools and the diagnostic hardware and software and know how to use it, and have all the information such as tech bulletins (updates from the manufacturer on common problems and pictorial walk throughs on how to diagnose and repair it) so you know your car is actually getting fixed by car who know what theyre doing.. when you take it to a generic "whatever comes through the door" workshop they dont have any of that and have to figure it out as they go. its the same old pitch that dealerships use to get people to take their cars back to get serviced, but its f**king true.

im a case manager for kia , pug , land rover , jag

i mediate between the dealers and customer ie service issues

dealers and service managers cant lie straight i bed when it comes to be honest

Maybe if Nissan where not ripping us off $80,000 for each car people wouldnt be interested in importing?

I'm living in Seattle at the moment, staying in the States and saving myself 80 grand is a pretty good incentive not to come back to Australia..

I would just like to say f*ck you, nissan australia.

God that felt good

HAAHAHAHAH love the pic out the front of Nissan gold.

You should have asked them to take the one out of the foyer and put them together and take a pic lol.

Bit more info guys,

Just to have the rights to service the 35 Nissan deals have to put up 80+k for all the extra training tools etc.

I thought that was a bit rich considering that at 150k for one they wont be getting as many thorugh as the Tiida or Patrol.
