I just have to find the $$$ I had an R32 and it was the most fun car I ever had. Circuit, Drags on the street ... it was amazing.Zap let me know if there is any chance of tagging along to see one in real life!! (I will bring a spare pair of undies!)

WOW!! its even more gorgeous in the flesh... Sadly its not the 1st R35 GTR in Oz but it will do...Also a note for all petrol heads if you happen to be around whilst the Nissan presenter is talking about the car don't listen to a word he/she is saying cause they talk crap... But for all with DEEP pockets and that will buy or import one before Oz delivery... Can I please have a drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Zap,I, like you, have a deposit down on one of these. I live in Tassie and getting any information passed on to me down here from the local dealer is like pulling teeth from a frog. (ie they don't seem to have ANY!!??)Like almost everyone else I have known the car was being shown at the MMS for a couple of months and was wondering when the guys from Nissan might send me an invite to attend the MMS for a chance to at least sit in the car, hear it running, maybe even a test drive following its stint at the show, etc.They sent me an e-mail last Thursday, only 1 day before the kick off for the show, - all it said was that the car would be there. I called the guy I have been dealing with, and asked him whether the people with deposits would be invited to see the car up close (maybe after the show closes one night), or whether there would be a chance of a drive. (Like you I have signed my 'contract' subject to a test drive and a few other things like price confirmation, servicing info, etc.)I was told after he apparently called Sydney, that the car would remain locked for the entire time it spends at the MMS, and there was absolutely no chance of a test drive, nor to sit in the car!!!??? I was pissed, and indicated I thought it was the least they could do to invite us to have a look inside the car at our leisure. He agreed that it sounded like a good idea, but said that he had asked and the answer was definite. What a pack of tossers!?If you, or anyone else gets a chance to view the car, sit in it, hear it running, or heaven forbid actually get to drive the thing, I would REALLY appreciate it if you could PM me or post it here (I'm sure everyone here would like to get your first real impressions anyway!!)I cant beleive that they have missed this opportunity to show us a car we have paid a cash deposit on! - it would literally cost them nothing - absolutely zero, apart from their time!!There will be a chance for me to have a close look at, and talk to the guys driving the Donut King GTR in Targa Tassie next month. I also asked the Nissan dealer here if they had anything to do with this entry, and not surprisingly they said they didn't.To sum up I am bitterly dissapointed that they have done NOTHING (bar sending me an e-mail 1 day prior the car being unveiled)...Hope your 'Nissan experience' is better than mine so far!!!! - they make FPV saleman look good!!!!
