Personally, dont like the ad. It's gay.

Id've been happy if they didn't make an ad for the GT-R.

I remember Carlos Ghosn saying if the car appears on any magazines, on radio, on the tv, then the marketing of it will be a failure (documentary on the new GT-R, i think National Geographic?)

yeah nissan have some cheesy ad on tv... shows the 370z, murano, and GTR in the same ad..... "shift the way you move" or some crap. would be nice to see an ad just for the gtr on it's own. guess nissan have tightened their tv advertising budget..

there's probably not a lot of revenue generated from spending big $$$ on GTR advertising, where the price is out of reach for your average Joe. They are clever in that respect, nissan are a business afterall and probably make most of their money from the small/medium size car market.. so it makes sense that's where they focus their marketing dollars.

I actually don't mind that ad.

Ad's aren't always lathered in product info and demo's to sell the product. Most of the time (as is being seen as a common trend with Cadbury) the ad's are purely used to grab your attention.

I think if Nissan were to change anything in this ad, they should take the Murano out. It's got it's own line of ad's currently, and doesn't fit the theme of the ad (370Z and GTR being sports cars).

I'm not sure what sound they've got (as i don't have volume on my work cpu) but this may make all the difference as bad music will create a bad feeling around the ad from it's viewers.

Some people have mentioned that they wish the GTR had an ad on it's own. And yes that would be good. But it would be a waste of money for Nissan. The GTR is not one of their mainstream cars, and as GTTR34 said, it's out of the price ranges of most average joes. So for most people (excluding GTR fans) they would probably take little to no interest and change channels. And depending on the ad they created, it may very well "cheapen" the image of the GTR.

It's exactly the same reason why Ferrari doesn't advertise.

9/10 people can't afford a Ferrari.

Putting a Ferrari ad on prime time television could possibly "cheapen" its image if it's surrounded by cadbury and kitchen cleaner ads, and would be seen as "common"

Ferrari's brand sells the product, not advertising. Maybe this is what Nissan is trying to achieve. Their maybe hoping the GTR doesn't need advertising, just a little mention in an ad?

You hit the nail on the head. Thats exactly what they said in the making of the GT-R documentary on Discovery Channel a couple of years ago. There advertising was focusing on creating a hype through it featuring in video games and the like, they wanted to make people want to see it, find out more about it and dream of owning it.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
