so every GTR is gona start with 6u9000

ive also got the CBAR35 plates in vic if anyone wants em. :P

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!

Well the exciting news is I was given the keys to my car tonight! The upsetting part is I have to wait another couple of days before I can actually take it home.

Here's a quick pic - more to come later.

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

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.

Campbelltown :D hope it has high voltage powered fence around it...it's a war zone out there!

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.

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.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
