2010my Gt-r Announced For Oz

[Max_ST-R]

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.....

Been quoted $178k for a 2010 premium. Will the dealers move on price or are they set in stone???..( I havent started to haggle yet)

Is that 178k on the road?

Gotta love the $16,000 dealer delivery and on road costs......

[Kujotk]

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.
