Beer Baron Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 so every GTR is gona start with 6u9000ive also got the CBAR35 plates in vic if anyone wants em. the chassis numbers are all R35XXXXXX. the problem is in aus we have a fixed 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number so for SEVS imports they prefix the chassis number with 6U9 and then enough zeroes to get to 17 digits. happens to all low volume imports. it used to be a bit different though. for the nissan cars I imagine they get assigned a proper 17 digit VIN from scratch so it could be anything. the car model is a CBA R35 though. but most will think comm bank R35 if they read that!

Sass Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Made it into AutoNews too: Announcing ‘Godzilla’ 09 – Unleashed at 12.01 AM this Morning The first official Australian Nissan GT-R super car was delivered at 12:01 a.m. today. The record setting, 2009 Nissan GT-R, goes on sale today at eleven select GT-R Certified Nissan dealers across the country. Andrew Richmond is one of the first customers to order a GT-R R35 through a pre-sale program and he couldn’t wait for normal business hours to take possession of his new White Ivory Pearl Premium GT-R. “This will be my second Nissan GT-R. I have been a huge fan of the GT-R since getting involved in club level motorsports. I chose a Nissan R34 GT-R V Spec as my motorsports vehicle and have loved GT-R’s since,” said Andrew Richmond. Mr Richmond, 34, employed as an Operations Manager of Austech Wire and Cable has a long history with the GT-R having established Skylines Australia – a Victorian car club and was appointed the inaugural Club President for two years in succession. “Experience dictates that the new GT-R was the best valued sports car on the planet,” said Mr Richmond Through special arrangement with Ferntree Gully Nissan, Mr Richmond was handed the keys by Dealer Principal Craig Pearce moments after midnight. The GT-R is available only through officially certified Nissan dealers that have met a number of strict sales, service commitments. “Given the high performance and competition needs which many GT-R customers will require, it is essential that Nissan provides optimum care and attention via the GT-R high performance centers,” said Stephen Collins General Manager - Sales & Marketing, Nissan Australia. Customer Experience Par Excellence To reflect the premium nature of the new GT-R, Nissan Australia made the decision to create an exclusive network of GT-R specialists within its dealer network. There are just 11 GT-R dealers in Australia and each has undergone a special preparation program, setting aside specific work bays for the vehicles as well as training staff to be GT-R specialists. Dealers maintaining the GT-R will keep nitrogen on hand to maintain tyre pressure. In some instances the access ramp to the dealership service bay needed modification to protect the front aerodynamics. The GT-R will follow a bespoke service program that comprises three separate elements. The first is a special vehicle inspection after 2,000km (and annually thereafter) which Nissan will provide to GT-R owners at no charge for the first three years of the car’s life. This inspection service will comprise a check and adjustment to the wheel alignment all around the vehicle, check the engine tuning and settings as well as transmission and clutch settings. Regular servicing (the costs of which are borne by the owner) occurs at 10,000km or at six-month intervals (whichever comes first), and comprises the usual engine oil and filter changes and fluid checks etc. Finally, for customers who take the opportunity to enjoy their car at a track day, Nissan GT-R dealers will be able to offer a post track day inspection service (the cost of which again is borne by the customer), which looks at suspension geometry, vital brake components and lubricant and fluid checks. The GT-R network in Australia comprises dealers located at: NSW: Campbelltown and Brookvale VIC: Ferntree Gully, Werribee SA: Nailsworth QLD: Moorooka, Southport, Mackay TAS: Hobart WA: Melville, Wangara For further infomation, contact: Jeff Fisher Manager, Corporate Communications Telephone:(03) 9797 4358 Facsimile: (03) 9797-4220 Mobile: 0400 028 425 E-mail: [email protected] Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259149-first-batch-of-nissan-r35s-for-australia/page/4/#findComment-4510982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo_R35 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Congrats, I have exactly the same colour on order, I got confirmation last night that I can take her home next Wednesday. I just sat there looking at your picture thinnking how much I cannot wait for this car to come home. It is ouring rain outside and I am wondering what to do when it rains. It is kind of convincing me to keep the 335 for everyday use. Congrats again.

We have been given a police escort until we get to the end of Nissan's street...after that they said we are on our own. I have a feeling my first 2000km inspection will come around very very quick.

pixel8r Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Mine definitely doesn't. All (Nissan?) imports have 6U90000 added to the front of the VIN when they arrive in australia. The Australian VIN then becomes 6U90000 followed by the original VIN.
