I was reading an article today that said Nissan Australia has registered the trademark "Infiniti GT-R".

Has anyone else heard this? is it WTY or WTLW? :wassup:

Article is mainly about the probabiltiy of it going to the USA as it will be produced in LHD form (apparently Ghosn himself said this???). It also maintains the engine will be a VQxxDETT probably a 30 or even a 32. Says it's the same engine being used in the 350z JTC cars???

ATTESSA will be present as will round tail lights.

I can see the Infiniti brand being used in the USA but it's interesting to hear that it may be introduced in Oz. I guess Nissan want to take on Toyota/Lexus.

Yeah, I think on Performance Forums a guy posted up the site where the Infinity name was registered in AU... why would they do that if there was absolutely no possibility of the next GT-R being imported to AU? Anyones guess, but this is pretty old news, at least 6 - 8 months old.

Skyline GT-R has been a registered trademark of Nissan in Australia since 1990, so I'm guessing they didn't have to re-register it. I think they're just covering their bases.

I did a search with the united states patent and trademark office and found the following results of interest:

NISSAN GTR

Filed on March 12, 2002

(APPLICANT) NISSAN JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA TA Nissan Motor Co., Ltd

Why would nissan file for "nissan GTR" in the US in 2002?

they also filed for an extension on 08-10-2004

I found another request also made on March 12 2002 for "nissan GTR" in australia

http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/...m_number=905985

However what puzzles me is that in australia they also registered "Infiniti GTR"

http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/..._number=1005792

and the UK

but not in the US?

On a side note "infiniti R spec" is filed by nissan on DEC 10, 2002 meaning that we can expect the R SPEC parts talked about in the 2001 press release quoted below.

NISMO branded parts will cover three areas - NISMO Performance Parts, designed for Nissan vehicles; Infiniti R-Spec performance parts designed for Infiniti vehicles; and NISMO racing parts designed for off-road/race-track use. NISMO also will offer performance parts for current and previous model Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including the Sentra SE-R and the forthcoming Infinti G35 and Nissan 350Z.

most likley just a safe guard so no little smart arse goes and takes the rights to the name from them, not a bad idea if you wanted to make a little cash when nissan did release that model??

well all it sya is Nissan GTR no model is specified so it could apply to any nissan GTR, I don't think anyone could register the name and get away with it look at www.nissan.com they sued that guy, so I'm sure if anyone tried to steal the name they could have some kind of legal action against them.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
