R35 GTR question?

[skylineGTR]

Hello fellow tsikoteers, I have always been a fan of GTRs ever since. Its still my dream car as of today, baka nga hanggang dream lang eh anyway malay mo manalo ako sa lotto, hehe

Ganito mga bros, magkano kaya aabutin kung magpaparating ka ng R35 dito, nasa $76,000 na ung base model eh. paano din kaya ung servicing nun, saan kaya pwedeng ipaservice yun, supercar na kasi eh. GRABE kung mayaman lang talaga ako sobra, gusto ko talaga nito. IHO kahit tabihan ka ng ferrari o kahit lamborghini pa o kahit ano pang supercar, it can hold its own against them hindi lang sa aesthetics but also in performance at a way way reasonable price tag as compared to other exotics kaya sobrang ASTIG talaga ng GTR. nakakainggit nga si Mr. Go ng Autoplus, lagi ko sinisilip dati yung R34 nya nung nakadisplay pa sa Autoplus everytime dumadaan ako sa edsa.

yung evoX GSR parang $33,000 pero dito nasa 3,000,000 peso na.

gusto ko lang malaman ang mga comment nyo bros

Multiply the $76,840 base price by two (for taxes), plus shipping and importer fees (around 1M), plus yung average dealer mark-up (around $30,000 sa US). So mga more or less 10M pesos ang acquisition cost.

Servicing? Best bet would be a Nissan casa, but even they would have to source parts from Japan, and they'll most likely have to fly in a specialist just to service the car.

Kung mayaman ka, be smart and don't waste an expensive supercar on lousy Philippine roads; you'll only end up wanting to kick yourself pag may nangyari sa oto mo, especially with the kind of motorists we have here. Gamitin mo na lang pag track days sa Batangas or Subic, or better yet, just buy yourself a property somewhere in Europe, because their roads will let you enjoy your supercars better. :D

ganun ba, pusang hilaw napakamahal naman, kailangan maging tycoon muna ako before magmaterialize yung dream car ko hehe ang sarap lang mangarap minsan bro na minsan sa may kalayaan, pwede ka rin magkaroon at makaexperience ng supercar hehe.

if ever man sa nissan casa, wala rin naman silang equipment siguro para masupport yung GTR noh? nakakaingit talaga nung dalawang beses na dumaan ako sa sta rosa highway papuntang tagaytay, ang mga nakakasalubong ko ford GT40, corvette Z06, porsche 911, siguro galing highlands yung mga yun, hayyyyy!!!!


eh kung kunyari ikaw kaya ang direktang magiimport? what will be the scenario kaya?

[niky]

From word on the street... apparently, importers have found a way to bring them in at a good price... about 7.6m pesos. There are two or three in the Philippines, already.

For servicing, that's the stickler... you'll need synthetic engine oil and a specific automatic transmission lubricant for the GT-R. I think Autoplus now has the CONSULT III diagnostics needed for checking engine codes, so that part's handled... but everything else will be difficult... you'll need to bring all the parts needed in.

For a direct import... I'm pretty sure that without connections, you'll still be paying 7-8m. Better to get in contact with the guys bringing it in, as they'll have a line on parts for you, too.

Just forget about this and buy the Audi R8.

[skylineGTR]

Sir niky thanks for your input. siguro kung mga nasa 7.6M range baka kaya pa sikmurain atleast parang evoX nadouble lang yung price and para ka lang bumili ng mga high end jaguars pero kung nasa 10M na sobrang pamatay na. how much ba yung m5 pagnagimport, may nakausap kasi ako dati sabi daw ng boss nya nasa 12M daw eh.

Sobrang dream car ko talaga to mga bros.

Sir horsepower, why r8? how much ba toh. Is it more practical than a GTR?

Well siguro makakabili ka lang naman talaga ng supercar pag made ka na sa buhay eh noh

Yes bro, libre lang mangarap. Kaya paborito ko yung kanta ng Kamikazee na Ambisyoso...

[jundeleon]

Where do owners have their Nissan GTR serviced or repaired here in RP?

[niky]

It's up to the owners to import spare parts for themselves. I think Autoplus has the gadgetry now to check diagnostic codes on the GTR... but I don't know if anyone has the in-depth service manuals, yet.

Actually sobra ng yung 10m para sa Skyline my Frend is selling his 2009 Nissan Skyline GTR BNEW yellow one 8m and still negotiable as in ndi pa na papaandar sa kalye...some guys are lucky to have a car like this kakainggit and take note Original Left hand drive.

[Horsepower]

lol! 10m is too much. For the same price, a thinking buyer would go for Audi R8 (with local warranty and sure service to go to) or 2nd hand Lambo Gallardo instead.

Uhhh... first the GT-R R35 is not a Skyline anymore.. Let's reiterate again for the nth time. The R35 is now simply known as... well, Nissan GT-R! It has it's own unique body shell and not that of the Skyline. There are still new Skylines in Japan (Infiniti G35 in the west) but it's not the same w/ the GT-Rs body.

Second, where did your friend get the brand new YELLOW GT-R? coz as far as I know there is no YELLOW R35.

Di nman 10M yan bro, exaggerated ata yun. I think around 6-7 M in gray market sya. And oh the thinking buyer would also think... hmmm this car has beaten the Audi R8 and Lambo Gallardo in independent comparo tests done by car magazines and w/ a more attractive price for a supercar.

Whoa, I never thought rich guys would resort to warranty claims on the crap they thrash. Nothing is indestructible.



To the thread starter:
Since you mentioned that "GRABE kung mayaman lang talaga ako sobra, gusto ko talaga nito.", this is what you should do in case that happens. Fly out of the country, get some place with a garage, buy a GT-R, and enjoy. Don't bother thinking of paying duties for importation to the Phils. All of it goes nowhere useful. And yeah, there are far more decent tracks abroad to play with your toy. Finally, just a piece of advice. Since you are incredibly rich, just buy the trannies if you happen to blow it. But don't do anything stupid and blame the wreck on substandard parts.
