Thought id post this up incase anyone was wondering. $85k for the base G37. Less then i expected, but still too much..

Further to my previous correspondence, I have attached a pre-launch brochure for you for now and hope to have the full brochure, with specifications, available within the next 10 days.

Pricing was released this week for the new model and is set at $84,970.00 for the GT Premium Coupe, $92,950.00 for the S Premium Coupe and $97,570.00 for the S Premium Convertible; these figures all become more impressive when I highlight that they are inclusive of all on road costs making the G Coupe and Convertible extremely compelling alternatives to the status quo.

Our demonstration models arrived yesterday and are available to drive at your convenience.

I will be in touch throughout the week to see if I can help any further; please let me know if I can answer any questions or help to arrange a drive for you at any stage.

Many thanks,

Still a rip off.....

See how much they cost in the US of A.

You can't compare them to what they cost in the US, everything is cheaper in the US. A 335i doesn't cost a hell of a lot more than a G37 in the US but they are well over $100,000 here.

more likely that their market is much much larger leading to better economies of scale and increased purchasing power for the consumer.

But probably the biggest impact on pricing in Australia is the 30% LCT (luxury car tax) we put on top of the 10% GST tax - that's 40% of the cost of the car in taxes alone.

It's actually 43% total increase. 30% LCT is added on the the sub total to which 10% GST is added.

Hence, vehicle = $100k. Multiply by 1.3 for LCT (130k now). Then multiply by 1.1 for GST. Therefore total cost of vehicle is now $143k.

There are ways around that, but that's another story....

At the end of the day, stuff costs less in the US because they have a lower cost of living and hence salaries are lower - in general.

We assist in placements in the US from time to time and you'd be astonished as to what the differnce can be.

For mine, not only is the initial buy in a concern but I would suggest the residual value after the warranty expires will be nowhere near the likes of a high end 3 series coupe. But I suppose these cars may well be purchased by business customers who can offset this via depreciation.

Infiniti (or its distributor) really need to get its pricing right as price reductions later on down the track is akin to burning bridges with existing customers.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
