I believe 275 rear comes with the 19inch in the US. Don't think we Aussies are getting them this year. Maybe next year we will.

Yeah, 275 rear would be nice and beefy. Better grip too.

I've got 245/45's on the rears. Can I ask where you heard this?

Hey congrats on the car, I was referring to the 19" rims we don't get here... only in America...

POTM · 06-07-2009, 06:58 PM

yeh...those 19s will look much better on the car...not because of the bigger rims but the front 245 and rear 275 will add more road presence to the car..

How can we pay much more than most places and the car comes with a fully equipped comprehensive package get those rear tyre which has the same width as the US models front tyre?

I was checking out my mates A5's 19s the other day and he gets 255 standard on all 4 wheels....if I parked a 225/245 beside him...it will make my look dull considering I am driving a pure sports car....

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying!

GTRFAN · 06-09-2009, 07:53 AM

I placed my order today for a manual in Titanium...can't wait!

Delivery is late July.

PM me if you need assistance with getting a good price and are ready to buy in Vic now.

The 19" wheels are a big NO from the dealer...I asked him why and he said they may not ever come out...interesting. The next facelift won't be before 2 years either. He also said fitting your own wheels and suspension is fine as long as it's legal and done by a professional shop which is good to know (re warranty).

Heh nice color choice GTR, I was originally going to go with that, but they had absolutely no display cars with that color in Victoria, so I wussed out and went with something I'd seen in the flesh.

They had one in greensborough, I had a look at it there hidden in the back of the showroom, pretty nice colour... I think I'm going to go black though, keep in tradition with my 350z lol

POTM · 06-10-2009, 02:52 AM

Congrats GTR on the ordering....Titanium is great under the sun which reflects a bronze rosie colour....the price you quoted on this threat seems to be super cheap for a manual...NSW dealer seems to be fairly solid on the price and it is fairly hard to bargain...VIC does seem to be little cheaper

If any of you guys are planning to get an auto in NSW, can you please tell me what's the best price you got offered? ....Thanks heaps

Awww what... When did they get it? I called up Nissan HQ in Aus before visiting a dealer and they told me there was one on its way to Berwick and that was it, but when I got there, it hadn't arrived yet.

Even made it a point to go to as many dealers as possible to compare prices / see the different colors.

GTRFAN · 06-10-2009, 03:49 AM

Thanks for your comments. I never saw the Titanium in the flesh but looked through the pics on here enough to make my decision.
I almost went with white, which I did see, but in the end I wanted a colour that shows the rear flares and polishes up well.

evse82 · 06-10-2009, 04:01 AM

Yeah I've seen the white on the road at night, looks great, even though I really liked it I still want a colour that you can get a great reflection in... something darker. The titanium in the sun is definately the best of the bunch, it has the most pearl out of any of the colours they have on offer, looks more like it's off a bmw rather than a nissan.... for some reason they don't offer colours like this too often on the 350/370's...

Hey GTRFAN what was ur total on road figure?

I was actually asked not to disclose that, but PM me for some more details. I can get you a very good price under 67k drive away.

Titanium =/= Platinum Graphite
PG for us is Carbon Silver.
Titanium is Titanium Gray, which the Americans don't have.
I've seen PG, but not TG...

Oh ok that explains things between the colour names. The one I ordered has the code (KAC). If it looks like this I'll be happy.
