I heard a confirmed rumour that a certain large Nissan dealership in Brookvale will be one of the 2 sydney dealers.

Pity I cancelled the GTR order I had with them...

Apparently Nissan will be making a formal announcement in October.

Ive spotted the Haltech/Envy 35 driving into said Brookvale dealer when they launched the new service/parts building. Got photo evidence too :banana: Wouldnt suprise me if they got dealership status for the 35, big money been poured into that dealer in the last couple of years.

Be good to see Nissan finally making a decision on what they actually going to do with this car in Australia. The price tag will be the only thing I am not looking forward to seeing!!

might be wrong but is the brookvale nissan dealership also owned by the same people running bmw, mini & honda? (maybe more)

Looks like I was right about Col Crawfords being one of the dealers.

If I had kept my order, I would have been 1st GTR sold at CCM :P

It seems dealers will be getting 3 cars per month from April. With Brookvale already taking *a few* orders that will push any new deliveries (post today) out to august/september next year.

Does anyone know how many orders Cambelltown have taken thus far?

Yes there are quite a few people placing orders with Col Crawford Nissan now that only two dealers will be selling the R35 GTR. I work there myself and cant wait to be able to look at one from my desk all day :P

Do you know how many have been ordered at Cambelltown? Also if you order via Dealer A, can you get servicing at Dealer B? I assume so but this car is a tad dfferent to normal Nissans i suppose, so you never know. (eit: i believe you can only get the cars serviced at propert certified GTR dealers right?)

Brookvale and Campbelltown :dry::):rofl:

What planet are these guys from Nissan on :kiss:

No one with $150K is going to go to Campbelltown to buy a GTR. Even Brookvale is far from ideal, the appropriate demographic is City, Eastern Suburbs. Lower North Shore and Inner West. Where the BMW, Mercedes and Porsche dealers are. :P

But you don't have choice do you? There aren't any decent Nissan dealerships in those areas are there? that's because other than the GTR you sell low demographic cars that compete on price alone. Just another reason why selling GTR's through the current dealer network is a joke. Once the "new GTR" charisma has worn off, no one is going to drive to Campbelltown or Brookvale to buy one, let alone get it serviced and stand in line with the great unwashed.

No cheers for Nissan Australia

I dont really see what the problem with Col Crawford is... They have just poured millions into a new Parts & Service facility and its an amazing building. They seem to be doing something right with BMW as that sector has only grown over the past few years. GTRs would be selling to the same demographic of people as those buying M3s and the like. Luxury sport cars are what Col Crawford is all about when it comes to brand new, so why wouldnt Nissan Australia choose this massive dealership network to showcase their pride and joy?

And as for the location, Peninsula Holden is one of the largest, as well as GBrothers Merc in Mona Vale.

The Northern Beaches is a prosperous area and the surrounding suburbs are filled with population that has cash for cars like the GTR. You have some fairly 'rich' suburbs within 10 minutes drive, like Mosman, Gladesville, Belrose, St Ives etc. Even from the CBD Brookvale is 15 minutes in light traffic. Brookvale is about as close to the 'Lower North Shore' as you'll get without being in the area altogether.

^^^ This guy is on the right track as i said i work at Col Crawfords and it is a huge dealership we have got the new multi million dollar workshop / service / parts centre which if anyone hasn't already should go and check it out. We are 10 franchises and 5 used car yards not small in my books and Mich we now own peninsula holden so it is now Col Crawford holden and is moving in the next few weeks from Dee Why to Brookvale opposite the mall medical centre .

And Sydneykid Nissan didn't just decide that Col Crawford and Campbelltown would get the GTR by they pulling them out of a hat, it was earned on performance and figures giving us and Campbelltown platinum dealer status.

Ah, so thats why they cleaned out the renault & kia showrooms! I was wondering what all the new signs that they are putting up were. Good to see the lion go under the Crawfords banner.

Cant wait to see some GTRs on the showroom floor. ;)

EDIT: Just had a thought, do you mean opposite the medical center as in next to the bus depot? If so.. HOLY CRAP.

Na Mitch you are correct in that it will be located where the renault, kia and suzuki showrooms were. Renault will now be joined in between Nissan and Hyundai showrooms and are there now and kia / suzuki will be the next building going north from Nissan on pittwater road where the TAB was.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
