True i dont think Nissan would sell a car in this country under the Infinity badge seeing as Infinitys arent sold here. simple logic haha. Im still thinking oz will get a GTR but it will be similar to a US spec model, so we can still import JDM versions :)

Justin, not to mention the inifinity badge name died in Australia ages ago...

so did the skyline badge :)

wouldn't surprise me in the least if they chose to use that badging - perhaps to steer away from the 'boy ricer' appeal that the skyline badge currently has (to some). On the other hand, given the select (small!) market, maybe they would try to tap into the racing heritage side of things.

who knows!?

given some of the marketing decisions in the automotive industry, it could go either way (or not at all)

My guess it will be sold here as an Iffinity and prolly around 120-140k mark.

otherwise they'll be hard press to sell any at all if it goes higher.

considering u can get the new audi s6 which will come in a atmo V10, same V10 minus turbos out of the lambo gallardo turning out 275-285 kw quattro system for around $160k so the ppls who buy these car are well aware of where the money lay.

When a motorcar hits the $150k mark, they play in a very different pool of marketting where nissan have no experience whatsoever

just my 5 cent

I think it's going to be a hard sell for Nissan.

The v35 doesn't look like a supercar like say the NSX did, and who knows if a new body GTR will.

...and it's such a small market at that price...

...and look at how difficult it has been even for Honda to move NSXs off the lot, even Type-R's. What, they sold like 2 in the UK last year or something according to Top Gear? That's peanuts. It's like they said 'Who would pay that much money for a nissan/honda?', and not many people by the looks of it. I'd get a used Ferrari instead and just wait for a Supra driver to pull up and ask me the retail on it:P

It's all academic anyway, how many people here have a spare 150k to throw about on a GTR anyway.

due to Ghosn's globalised trade views I'm guessing they're not gonna use individual contires and thir buying powers to determine availability, but instead make it available all over the world (well the main countires anyways) and stock the cars in coutries where they know there'll be a steady flow of customers. The rest of the countries will probably get an on order from japan or the nearest stockist basis.

I think it will sell quite well if it comes. I base this on the number of M3's. Relative to price and performance, there are A LOT of them around. And don't forget 996 911's and Boxsters. These are $90K+ (boxsters), $150K (M3) and $180K - $330K+ (911) cars. The hard part is always going to be convincing people to spend that much on a Nissan. But then again, Australia only got 22(?) M3 CSL's and at $210K a pop, they were sold as soon as people could place an order.

I'd imagine the new GT-R will be sold here primarily as an R34 M-Spec equivalent car, to compete with the other Euro models. And a new M-Spec type GTR at $150k up against a BMW M3, ppl will soon realise where to splash their cash. But then again, can you put a price on a BMW badge? That's going to be only stumbling block i can see, i'm sure the car will be an absolute rip snorter, just gotta convince ppl it can be Nissan :D

I don't know about u guys but I see a lot of 350's about the place, they're everywhere, cos you know any dude with 60k to splash on a new car will either choose the 350 or the rx-8, cos like what else is there???

But then again, can you put a price on a BMW badge?

Exactly, badges are worth a lot, and it's not like an m3 csl is a dog of a car either, so tricky, tricky.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
