Does anyone have any info on the total number of road registered R35 GT-R's kicking around Oz so far - JDM and the Nissan Aust delivered ones.

Nissan Aust website says they pre-sold 150 for delivery in 2009 - just wondering if this sounds about right.

I was told that Australia will be allocated 600 GTR's for the first 5 years, and of that 500, 200 allocated for 2009..

600 is a lot. Not quite sure we will have 600 buyers - but hopefully they all sell ASAP.

That's what i was told too, before the "production cut" ie. GFC effects.

I think the numbers might be lower than that

.........and the way DOTARS is setup we can forget about topping those numbers with grey imports - since Nissan Aust already imported the car...............damn.

I don't see the numbers exceeding 300-odd for the life of the model.

Is it 600 or 500? or was it going to be:

"600 GTR's for the first 5 years, and of that 500, 200 allocated for 2009.

Of the remaining 200, 50 will be delivered a year to bring the 300GTR's to Australia.

Nissan expects that the happy 200 GTR owners will all be not voiding their warranties, and as such have made provisions for enough mechanics to work on 150GTR's.

The extra jobs from servicing the 100 gtr's will bring much wealth to the economy"?

(yes, i just made that up)

Lets not jump to conclusions just yet, what if that VN had stockie's on the rear and VS HSV front/rear bumpers?

Kind of relevant:Europe is currently in the process of delivering the first GT-Rs to more than 2,200 pre-order customers. The model R35 GT-R was first launched in Japan in December 2007, selling 5,900 units until March 2009. It went on sale in the US in July 2008, where 2,100 have been sold so far.

It definately would've also had a shift kit and 3000rpm schtally bro. GTR never had a chance.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
