:lol:

I dont think we will see skylines in australia for a few years yet. When they do come out they are gonna be pricey too. Lets just hope they do eventually, but if they dont I am not too worried. As long as the import laws behave.

hehe i was expecting "nissan to lauch skyline into space" or sumfin.

So we'll be gettin wat seems to be the nissan equivalent of the LanEvo8 (or as I prefer to call it the 7.5 coz its not much different to the 7). Also is it gonna be called Nissan or Infinty as we don't have an infinty brand in australia, do we?

And you had the air con on - and Doc was with you too !

Yes, Yes, you chopped B-Man. But never again - Now I have the auto Gloria - it's a drag racing machine !

;)

OK, back on Topic - IF Nissan was to sell the R35 GTR, how much do you reckon it would be ??? >$100K ????

nah more

[Jimbo2000]

i'd guess well over 150K maybe over 200

Check it.. more details

i'd expect sumfin that's about 20k more expensive than a top of the range 350z. Altho if they're bringing out a GTR, they'll have a GTt and a GT variant... fo the ppl that can't afford a top of the range car.

..and hopefully some small scale models for the people that can't afford those either

[Jimbo2000]

it is supposed to be a porsche beater and with them coming in at over 400k you would think it would be over 300k but i doubt it 150 to 200 is what i'm still sitting on

[Jimbo2000]

scale models will be over 2000 dollars as they will be so rare

[B-Man]

OK, if, in 4 years they are less than $150K and I am working for a company that does a novated lease / salary sacrifice and I am still not married then I will 'think' about getting one.

Until then - The GTS-t and Gloria will have to do me !

meh, once I hit 30 I'm buyin myself an R34 front 350RS Stagea Stationwagon. Fun to transport family in and you have an RB26DETT with a 5" turbo back exhaust to push you along... mmm

Hang on a minute, I thought Nissan separated the Skyline from the GTR as far as the name was concerned. Have they changed their minds again or have the news sites got it wrong?

Either way Nissan Australia importing the GTR isn't good for anyone other than Nissan. It will just mean higher priced cars holding their value for longer, which is bad news for enthusiasts.
