Nissan GT-R Australian pricing
February 26, 2009 by Matt Brogan
Pricing and trim level details for Nissan’s ground pounding GT-R have been announced ahead of the car’s April 1 Australian sales launch.
The regular GT-R will be available from $155,800 (RRP) and will feature a comprehensive feature list that includes leather and synthetic suede heated front seats, aluminium pedals, Multi-Function Meter, configurable transmission and traction set up, dual zone climate control, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, and a seven-inch colour monitor.
Above this, the GT-R Premium, differentiated by interior trim and wheel/tyre combination, will be priced from $159,800 (RRP) and includes Real Black colour-coat finish 20-inch alloys, shod with Bridgestone RE070R high-performance run-flat tyres, revised seat facings in black with red trim and a high performance BOSE audio system.
Since launching the GT-R to the Japanese market in December 2007, more than 4,800 examples have been sold around the world with pre-sales orders in Australia already totalling 150 units.
Prices are effective April 1 and exclude dealer delivery and statutory charges. Gun Metallic & Titanium paint colours are priced at an additional $1,750, while Super Silver premium paint is an additional $3,000.
Customers who pre-order their GT-R before its April 1 launch date (and whose cars are delivered before June 30 2009) are able to secure the vehicle at lower price points of $148,800 and $152,800 respectively.
Print it: 
Just go for the premium only 4 grand more bargain ,Still dont know how thay can do this car at this price but all the better for us
Well they clearly can’t do the car at that price if Nissan stands to lose $3.4B USD next FY and is forced to cut 20,000 jobs according to Bloomberg.
They’ve sunk so much time and money into that car, in the current market, they’ll never recover that investment.
I wish I had the money…..
Seems like a bit of an odd pricing difference. $4000 more for the premium when you’re already shelling out over $150,000 really isn’t much. At that price it seems like it’s just more a decision of which trim and wheels/tyre setup you prefer.
It is around $150,000 to dear for such an ugly piece of sheet like this….
and no people who gives a sheet how fast it is, it still looks like origami folded…
AMAZING vehicle and performance [which you cannot use on the open-road] for the coin.
I see that Nissan are going back to Nurg. to smash the production record…..AGAIN!
Frankly to fast for me, i would be happy with a 370Z
Cheers

Wow Marcoz, you are an idiot.
A lot of people appreciate the chunky and square-ish styling of GTR. Wank off to your stuck in the 60s Porsche and be done with it!
Seriously Marcoz what the hell, that is such a stupid comment, what else can you get for that money, that will compete, in looks or any other department for that matter. So keep your stupid comments to yourself.
As much as you may hate Marcoz’ comments, he does have a point. The car looks like a folded piece of origami. I couldnt have described the car better myself. However, it is a nissan and the only ‘nice’ car they have!!… Take a look at the nissan range: the micra, tiida, maxima, 350z, dualis…the list of rubbish goes on…
Joshua is obviously hard to please. OK, Micra’s and Murano’s looks are an acquired taste and Tiida looks like rubbish, but the remainder of their range is fine. So too is the GTR, one of the performance bargains of the past decade.
good to see we get heated seats.
That ought to keep the CA guys happy ha ha ha ha
cant see too many people hitting that button in OZ, if at all
Hang on boys – Marcoz is only expressing an opinion. It is kinda ugly but in a nice way IMO. So different to other curvy blobs (a la Porsche (do they all look the same)). All a matter of taste.
I thought the Launch control and Sav-Nat wasn’t making it to Australia… Thats what a special press release said in Wheels Magazine last month. I wonder if Nissan realized they’d be pissing a lot of people off.
I’ve already seen this car in Aus, I think the guy must’ve got it imported privately… Lucky man.
joshua you moron, i hope you enjoy driving your clunk bonk bf falcon worth 5k for the rest of your life
Marcoz has expressed his opinion, and he gets told to “Wank off to your stuck in the 60s Porsche and be done with it!” by Demonaz, and to “keep his stupid comments to himself” by Aleks.
What the hell? Some of you people *really* need to get a life, one is allowed to make a comment you disagree with without copping unnecessary personal abuse!
I agree with Marcoz and Joshua, folded origami is actually a pretty cool description for it, but I guess I must like folded origami cos I don’t think it’s too bad :-)
deano, stupidity deserves personal abuse.
Totally agree with you Deano.
Forza M – if stupidity reaps personal abuse then that make you a t1t as well. Touchéy my friend.
Stupid comments get abusive responses. Why say its ugly when clearly it isn’t. I get the point that some may like it more then others, but every motoring journo has said something positive about its looks and this guy comes out flying with random comments, he probably hasn’t even seen the car in real life and yes I have. Secondly he said an overpriced 150K heap of rubbish, I challenge him to find a new car for sale in australia that does performs as well as the GTR for that money.
And Deano, you get a life, If i think his comment is stupid don’t I deserve the right to defend the GTR, so it goes both ways.
Durrrr get it Aleks – P E R S O N N A L O P I N I O N!!!
Streuth some folk are thicko drain fodder. Stupid is as Stupid was.
Having sat in one of these in Kyoto (yeah, a real kid thing to do), I think that I can say that it is not a beautiful car, but it is awesome, in a threatening kinda way. It is huge compared to what you’d think, and wide. There are no beautiful curves, but everything looks like it means business. It is like something out of bladerunner (anyone else remember that?). Ugly? No. Beautiful? No. Menacing? Yes.
this is a great car but i would still prefer a exige 240, alot more to my liking! even though you literally get half the car for your money. gtr over 2 tonnes and the lotus under 1 tonne!!!!
Touche my friend? ahhh yeah whatever champ
Hi Guys,
Just got my GT-R in England,We are looking to move to you in December and import the car later .Car is boss,had two R34s in the past but this one hits the spot! you have to see it to believe ,
Paid £59,5909 (Finance) for whats known as a Black Edition,seems cheaper here than Aus.Chose Vibrant Red .Pleased with the choice .Waited two years for it,well worth it!. Its looks are all in the eye of the beholder but in the UK it stops the traffic,or are they going backwards?
Keep Smiling.
