FTG Nissan, no surprise. I live about 5 mins from there and it has been Australia's highest selling dealerships many years.

As for the 2010 wait and the $160k price tage, Nissan Australia you're a bunch of scum sucking fu(k tards. I've been considering this car for some time now but fu(ked if I'm paying $160k for a car you can pickup in Japan for half that price. Bastards...

Look at the Porsche 911 though, 90k in the US, 200K+ here in Aus. Wonder if it's the dealerships or the Government?

ok a little bit of an update...

just got back from Nissan head office today in dandenong, had some product knowledge training

GTR is arriving in March 2009, that is a definate..not 2010 as suggested by others and when I get an official document ill post it up here!

Also..head office already has a couple of GTR's here already, one is out the back they are using for testing and the other is in the front office as soon as you walk through the doors...

so if anyone wants to see the car upclose you can just go down and check it out!

Yeah but the GT-R isn't a Porsche... and $160K is un-fuggin-believable. I just can't believe Nissan will try and fleece the GT-R faithful like that... no way.

Good news about March 2009, that's more like it.

Government. It's the same story in the UK, $160k here - $113k there. That new luxury car tax wouldn't have helped either. Guess we'll just all have to wait unitl the FTA with Japan comes through,

they should have it at blackburn nissan. (its closer to my house lol) or the one on nepean hwy its fair big....

oh well i get my 34 gtr soon ill rock up in that and say i want an upgrade just to take it for a spin. lol.

nissan au seriously are a bunck of f**kstix they way they just overlook cars for aus, i jut came back for dubai and there were v35's everywhere, they would have sold very well here but i guess they just dont want to make money.

^^ I might have to swing by Head office to look at the potential father in-law's next car then...

I really should just get a diamond ring for the missus and then "borrow" the car for a couple of (track) days :P

Really glad the release date is early next year rather than the year after.

Would these places then be orthorised to then import V35GT-R components? For service / sales?

Yep but for the people that want an Oz delivered one because they want the working Sat nav, radio and all the functions etc all in English - not to mention that little thing called waranty - it will mean the cars aren't worth 35% of retail come resale time due to all the crappy imports.

Werribee is not authorized.

It is Blackburn and Ferntreegully Nissan who are selling it.

City Nissan thought they were selling it and took 12 deposits of $5000.

Guess they're not now...

1) technically it's not "Brighton" it's on the wrong side of the tracks, ie... wrong side of Nepean hwy, it MIGHT be east brighton, but i think really it's another suburb altogether

2) Have you been there???? I get my fuel/oil filters from there and the parts/service desk has Nissan on the left and.... wait for it....... HYUNDAI on the right. Same desk, about 3-4 metres wide, 1 side Datsun, 1 side Hyundai. I don't think $150K+ GTR owners are going to line up and try and talk over the discussion a metre to their right about when Thelma should bring her excel in for the next service.

Nobody gives a shit there, showroom is shithouse, and the "service" desk it laughable, the workshop looks pretty agricultural as well. There is not a snowballs chance in hell you could sell/service a GTR there.

Trevor in the parts area is the man!

Helped me out countless times, i wouldnt call thier service laughable at all.

Its been 10/10 every single time :thumbsup:

so you rekon werribee is not authorised...?

ill have some paperwork in the next few weeks to confirm that Werribee is an actual authorised dealer,

had people from head office in our showroom mapping out where the GTR was going to be placeed and how it was going to be displayed...

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
