And Hong Kong after they pay their 45% first rego tax on new ones..

There a lot of other countries in the rest of the world that's got the GTR priced higher than AUS (e.g. Singapore, I believe around 250k SGD brand new 1AUD = approx. 1.19SGD). Quit whinging and maybe some day you will get one.

quit winging? LOL bro you don't even have a r35 GTR, so how can u say that? U can't, the amount of money u paid for your boat r33 GTR and spent on it, u could of easily owned a R35 GTR over in the US, so how does that feel Brenda? I'd be mad to

Anyone who payed twice as much for something and then found out the same thing is half the price elsewhere would be either kidding themselves or a complete and utter moron if the said they weren't pissed off, no two ways about it. Even the guys on other thread were venting there frustration at the same thing

Practice what ya preach, u started on me 1st so don't complain when u get raped as a consequence Leave me alone and i'll do likewise, i'm open to criticism but do it in the right manner. So far the thread has received rave reviews, don't like it then rack off if you don't contribute any opinion or fact to the discussion, simple. We need more people like me around here to say it how it is rather then coward in the background.

Move to America then

And bug them over on their forum

It's funny u say that coz i was actually thinking the same thing, if i went and lived over there for 3 or 4 years i could own a r35 GTR and pay for my holiday and still have change left over

So Levin boy did u wana come with me? given how much money you've wasted on your boat r33 gtr already

I promise I won't start any ill conceived, poorly thought out redundant threads; but now you have to follow suit.

I'll be sure to give you a sweet little cuddle before I make any comments in future and treat you like the spoilt little child you clearly are.

If you can make it through one night without making a personal attack on another member I'll make a formal apology to you ; but I'm willing to be that you will have attacked someone before I've even finished this post.

Grow up.

Erm. Does it matter if we (the ones that replied to the post doesnt own a R35 GTR? Dont think so.

TBH, I dont feel anything because someone else in another country is paying 1/2 the price of what I'm paying for my car because its a different country? You can never get the best of everything. As suggested, if you really want to make yourself feel better because you can afford a cheap GTR, move to the States. Lower pay, higher rate of unemployment, higher risk of getting shot and all the crap that goes along with it.

I do not disagree with your comment about getting pissed because I paid more for something BUT only if I can get it into the country. A good example is tyres from Tirerack ;) . Theres no point getting pissed over something which you cannot change (and for this case getting a cheap R35 GTR in Australia)

Not sure but I'm guessing its relative to the labour rates and tax? We're paying extra for luxury car tax here for cars and the GST is calculated with everything included. And the dealer's profit (this is again kinda related to labour rate)?

It's a reasonable statement though, there is actually no legitimate explanation for such a significant price differential, outside of profiteering of course.

Anyway keep feeding the troll and maybe this thread will keep me entertained the rest of the week. :woot:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
