Most factory GPS are nothing special, some are crap infact ,i'd rather spend $300-400 on a portable unit (which I did) than have to pay $5,000 more for a car becuase it has a factory sat nav. When my cousin bought a BMW 320i in 2007 he had the idea of getting the sat nav..the dealer told him the factory unit was a P.O.S and to go to JB hi Fi and spend $300 and get a better unit!. I also have a feeling the Sat-Nav and speed limiter are linked in the GT-R.

yes, put i for one would not want to put a portable Sat-nav in a $170K car and make it look all Excel spec

sat nav is overrated anyway.

I agree about cheapening the look of the car by putting in an aftermarket job, however I use the Sat Nav in my 335 every day. Maybe I am just bad with directions.

The spec sheet on the GTR does state:

"Monitor also provides displays and interface for programmable vehicle settings, vehicle information, and audio and navigation systems"

I will see if there is an aftermarket product that will interface through the screen.

Guys, I have some confirmed news about the waivers:

If you have signed the 4 page waiver then you do not need to sign the 11 page one. I have a copy of the 11 page on and I would not sign it......especially the clause:

Small scratches, etc. may be found on the wheels when your vehicle is delivered. These are due to the test drives performed for the quality validation before the delivery.

Anyway, I am concerned about how much driving is done during the "Quality Validation".

Other than that...no more news.

Delivery date for me is 11th April (Easter Saturday) :P

Possibly will be ready a day or two earlier but I will be unavailable and that friday is Good Friday.

The dealership has been kind enough to loan me a car for the 3 weeks between selling my 540 and the delivery of the GTR.

thanks. will keep an eye open on the forums for he next meet. I will have my 590R's coming in from the states in 5 weeks, so maybe after those are on and rolling (and my wife's shock has eased....)

All this excitement must seem a bit old hat to those who have had their JDM R35's for some time now! I have never personally even seen one of the imports yet so my first look will be when I see my car!

wow , never ever seen one in real life?

Your gonna be in for a good time mate, they look absolutely stunning esp from the front

Its sexy and super modern from the side, its got an imposing presence and has the meanest backend with the 4 big tail pipes. When he see's his car for the first time he will not be able to take the smile off his face..... I couldn't :ph34r:

Hi Everyone,

Great forum here... I've pre-ordered mine back in Oct 08 from Northside Nissan Perth, expecting deliver in 2-3 months time.

I have ordered a white one, however does anybody know if I will be getting the Ivory Pearl or the new Brilliant White? I much prefer the Brilliant white. If the ADM model is destined to get the Ivory Pearl, would it be possible for my dealer to request it to be done in Brilliant white? My dealer has not been informed of any change in the white colour.

Many Thanks

Zhi

I've ordered white as well and have seen it few days ago at the dealer.

The new colour is Pearl White and unfortunately it is still "pearly". There is no plain white.

So is your "Pearl White" a different colour code to the "Ivory Pearl"? I have heard the original "Ivory Pearl" has a creamish tinge to it, does yours?

Thanks Mate

I have the white, It is a pearl white. In certain light it looks a little off white, however it is definately an ivory pearl.

The colour looks brilliant on the car with the dark wheels.

Hi Gibbo,

What's the colour code of yours? Is it QX1 (ivory pearl) or QAB (brilliant white)?

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
