Not sure if anyone else has posted this news yet, but I have got official news from inside Nissan head office....

There will be only 2 dealerships inside Victoria that will be authorised GTR dealers....

They are....

WERRIBEE NISSAN and FERNTREE GULLY NISSAN!!!

No other dealerships will stock or be able to sell the vehicle except for these 2 dealerships!

ETA March 2009....

I'd thought they would try to get the car near the city somewhere..... same with ferntree

I agree with you there - Benz, Aston, Porche all have City or close dealers, but Werribee?

Fentree Gully i could have picked, seeing as it's Nissan Vic's unofficial flagship location.

Yeah i knew someone who worked here...seemed to be the only dealer I knew of who could bring in JDM stuff for the S15 (or maybe i just didn't look hard enough :D ) ...if they end up being one of two dealerships to stock the GTR then it might be a place for me to start lookin for hard to find nismo apparel! :devil:

was talking to a salesman at our nissan dealer here in tamworth after they all had a good look at my v35 he said do you want me to ring you when the r35 turns up to that i said are you getting one in and he yeah in october this year to that i said sorry dont have 160k and he said no 150k plus on roads but i think hes all bullshit

Funny that you Vic blokes already think these are obscure dealerships. Why did Dissan do this? Or maybe it's incorrect information (don't cry, show me proof). It would be an unwise business move not to have at least ONE city dealer that retails the R35.

he said no 150k plus on roads but i think hes all bullshit

That's just a given. Don't think about it.

$150K plus on-roads IS $160K...

Yeah Werribee is definately an obsure location. Its also a decently sized dealership as I assume FTG is also but you wouldnt think that would matter as I doubt they are going to hold 50 cars at a time like a Tiida......or are they?

Maybe Nissan themselves decided on a max of two dealers in VIC so only two workshops had to be trained/setup to service the cars and maybe had the dealerships bid on the rights to sell them?

Who gives a shit anyways as I cant afford it and for those lucky enough who can I'm sure an extra 30 minutes travel isnt going to change there mind in buying one.

That extra $60K-odd for AU delivered GT-Rs better go into a cabin mounted gold plate esspresso maker or a 52" LCD on the dash... otherwise what an absolute joke.

FT Gully Nissan and Werribee Nissan are the two leading Nissan dealerships in Victoria...new car sales wise, thats why they have been chosen to sell the GTR.

I work at one of these dealerships and believe me its not incorrect information....

the city dealership was not chosen because of its showroom size, the amount of new cars they sell (not many compared to Werribee and FT Gully) and there is no parking space for customers, which there will be alot of all keen to come down and check out the car.

One dealership on either side of the city was the idea, and thats what they have gone with!

Blitz has ze connections, sounds like good info to me...

that pretty much means it's go time for imports yah?? hahahahhah, Nissan OZ.... you bunch of retarded f*ck wits....

i reckon that explains the recent Nissan OZ letter saying "we'll be scrutinising all workshops importing GTR's", 1) scare tactics as they have no auth to scrutinise jack 2) they know they're going to miss the 18 month window and hence they're being poopy pants and saying "well yeah!.......... we've got our eye on you... so.... yeah, yeah... think about it!"

hahahaha, ANOTHER wasted opportunity...

who in werribee has 160k to splash on a car??? must be a mistake.. as if theyd put it out there... woulda been better in the city or close by... "/

LOL! Just brand it the new HSV / FPV.

any workshop that receives the 'letter' from Nissan SHOULD definitely send a legally informed reply particularly given they are attempting to set you up for an indemnity costs order by the 'reserve the right to rely on this letter'.

That needs to be formally replied to.

If anyone does get one of those letter, feel free to PM and I can draft up a reply to go out on your company letterhead.

Yes I am qualified!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
