Hi all, FYI, the 2010MY GT-R for Australia has just been announced by Nissan. There is a $3,000 price increase however there are a few spec changes.

Now you get Sat Nav, bluetooth connection, ipod/USb connection,data logger function, automatic headlights and speed sensing front wipers as standard. Price is now $158,800 for the 'base' model and $162,800 for the Premium. Metallic paint is now $1,495 (previously $1,750).

So it seems they have added a reasonable bit of spec for a smallish price increase, what i don't know is whether this is just a local model change with some more spec or the next GLOBAL model year change or series update that will see mechanical refinements and upgrades.

New sat nav unit is a big upgrade from the current model MFD.

This is indeed the global model change which includes minor suspension and bushing tweaks, SpecV rear diffuser, wheel centre cap changes, more clear coat on front and rear bumpers as well.

The compact flash slot on the previous models is now gone and is replaced by a USB slot as you mentioned. Interestingly, the MFD can boot from and access this USB slot for software installation. Should open up the possibility of development of third party apps maybe. Nismo's MFD upgrade uses this tech to install itself in the GT-R after all. Hopefully apps don't need to be digitally signed by Nissan......

There's a whole computer in that MFD, if you can access it, there's a command line interpreter, POSIX like OS, 3G modem capabilities, etc. Would be very interesting to see if anyone puts some effort in to develop at the very least a data logging system ala Nismo but on the cheap / free for the community.

I'd do it but i dont have a GTR to test out my stuff... :)

And what happened to the 5% tariff reduction - it disappeared in thin air somewhere bewteen the Nissan HQ at Dandy and all the dealerships lol.....

Dealers have to make money aswell, and the % profit is pretty low compared to other dealers.

Damelian makes anywhere up to $50k profit on a $170k Ferrari...

$20k on a merc selling at $130k

they still did not put cameras on them. doesnt matter - already done a 2010 one. few things have changed internally but there is one running around with a set of cameras front and rear on it.

drop me a line if you are afraid of the low hanging nose.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
