And the real cost is

Please call me to confirm it is OK to process deposit.

Car price is $179,400.00 drive away for premium model in non metallic.

RRP is 152,800.00 plus Dealer Delivery, LCT, Rego, & Stamp Duty.

Delivery will be post May 09 but not specific.

Total deposit required is $20,000 although to be made up of $5k C/card, balance by cheque to limit merchant expense.

Only 200 units for Australia in 09. Will need contract signing at the dealership.

Also included is the GT-R Customer Agreement Letter required prior to order placement, build commences Feb/Mar next year.

Also no warranty if used on a race track

No sat nav till 2010 approx $5000-10000 who knows what they will charge

I can buy 2 for that price

Interesting. I've now heard 5 different drive away prices from 5 different dealers ranging in upto $15K. Not sure how much of those differences is state based tax reasons but it might be worth shopping around....

Hmmm funny,

How each state is coming up with little clauses and costs...

I know the second dealer here in Perth is charging a Premimum on Dealer Delivery on the GTR.

As he is entitled to do, according to Nissan sources.

Well I have to say that I drove one of these things yesterday (Thanks Jeff) and even with the $150K price tag it leaves everything else in it's competition behind in my opinion. It really was such a quality car to drive - much nicer IMO than the new E92 M3 or RS4. The only thing I've driven that comes close is the Audi R8 which has a $288K tag and yet still isn't as usable as this thing.

When I told my wife the drive away price, she said "You can go and buy one if you sell your race R32 and promise to never go on the track again".

These cars are good, but that is too big a price to pay! :merli:

you could always ditch the wife and take the 35 AND 32 to the track :thumbsup:

hahaha exactly what i was going to reply until i scrolled down to your post Duncan.

This is awesome news. It will be good to finally see the R35 on the streets of Sydney.

I can imagine alot of us giving the drivers a nod at the lights. And there will be the few idiots who will actually think their 200kw GTSt will beat it to the other side of the intersection. Jeez even a 350kw odd 32GTR will have trouble.

But there is one thing that shits me, the 35GTR is now an option for people who would normally go for a 3 series BMW or a Merc of similar spec.

A good percentage of these people wouldnt know a Nissan skyline if it bit them on the arse. And if they do buy one, purely for the reason it has comfy seats, nice sound system or to tell their mates "check this out it has flappy paddle gear thingys" they will not actually know that they now own one of the most perfect supercars in the world today.

And if i see one on the road that is absolutely filthy,has shopping trolley scratches or they clean the car without cleaning the wheels....

That's the same with most supercars. Many, if not most, purpose built sports cars are never used as intended. They are rolling status symbols. Come to think of it i dont think many of those types would be seen dead in a Nissan anyway.

You blokes are clearly not married, a divorce would cost a hell of a lot more than my R32 and an R35 put together!!!! :):D

i dont get it ..you have to be an afficionado to buy the car? you have to know the full history of nissan and the GTR? shouldnt the pre-requisite be that you just have to have the 170K or whatever? i dont get this whole attitude that the more of them u see the less cool they become - or you wont like it because an older man drives it...

its a great car - if there are more of them it just means more parts are available and there is more aftermarket support..

mass production is a good thing..

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
