The 33 and 34 were never offered aussie delivered...

anyway back to the main topic;

I had a deposit down within a week when it was announced in Japan, through nissan at windsor for a new GTR...

I was quoted $130-135k for the vechicle with no ETA date...

Some months went by and then the "premium" GTR dealers were announced and windsor was not one of them...

I phoned and was told the price is now $160+ and that they could source one through a sister dealership...

Then getting the deposit back was a nightmare to say the least, they wanted to give me a pulsar in exchange for the deposit money...

The dealer had obviously banked/spent my deposit... Im really pissed cause it was 8 months I didnt have $25k sitting on my house loan...

I will be waiting for a second hand one to pop up, once they get to around 100k ill jump in... In the mean time Ill just enjoy something else...

omg, u are so far the cheapest price i believe. which dealer is it? did u bargain all the way down to 167k or they just simply offered you that price?

when did u order yours?

I didnt negotiate at all, but i placed the order as soon as they would take them, so perhaps that was a factor (the price was a bit spongy at that early stage, but they wanted to lock people in too). And remember there has been a price rise since.

The counter offer they gave me was $170,500 drive away in premium, white...

After I blew up like a second hand lawnmower...

Paint pretection, floor mats and seat protection included... That was all the options they had at the time...

NOTE:

Bare in mind they had my deposit and didnt want to have to give it back, they had also quoted on a car they could not purchase direct, i blew up royaly, also this was before price rises...

Paint pretection...

Doo's if you get one mate, do not, i repeat DO NOT, get "paint protection", it is possibly the biggest rip-off in new car sales this side of the GTR servicing costs. I know some manufacturers charge nearly $1k!! (might cost them $75 for the kit).

It does nothing, does not last the x number of years they claim and they will royaly screw your paint which will cost you $$ to get it fix professionally by a proper detailer. You have been warned...

oh, this applies for ALL new cars...

carry on

I went afterarket and got the 3m film across the front and various other places, then the ST1 paint protection.

ALSO: Martz...there are only two dealers in NSW with the GTR and I told you which one it wasn't......I cannot believe I am having to explain this....it's like a joke where you have to explain the punchline. :(

That film looks like an interesting option, satisfied with it?

Very happy, they did an awesome job and you can barely see it. You really have to look and almost know it is there to see it.

I would highly recommend the film.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
