How did Nissan "make sure of that"?

They will, by selling the car here themselves as a full volume car. If it happens before June 2009, then they will never be eligible for import under SEVS. They got caught out on the S15 - they won't make that mistake twice...

Doesn't stop people thinking they can bring them in and get them registered apparently :domokun:

Hilarious... FOR SALE, LOW KILOMETERS, ONLY DRIVEN TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS :domokun:

read further down... If you’re just as enthusiastic but not looking to break the bank then maybe this is what you need. Genuine R35 GTR badges! Perfect for rebadging your R32 GTR or R33 GTR or Daewoo if you are that way inclined!

Like them snap-on tools tho... oh and the GTR is sexy as hell.

no muppet's bringin em into the country unless it gets listed on the SEVS list first... even garage13 and his pioneering S15 compliancer.

Kristian, I thought you'd have made an application? You're usually on top of these things.

All shit aside I was offered one brand new under personal import, with paying for the car up front and my mate a few grand (quite a few) to make it worth while it would owe about $120,000 to $130,000 plus rego which is a lot of money tied up for 12 months even if they are not imported by Nissan Australia, but in saying that if I could get away with my wife not finding out I would.......

On SEVS eligibility my understanding in short form is Nissan Australia give a 2008 release date, once date officially comes about it does not mean stock is available but it is a full volume car, also for some tests needed their are other options these days that will make it viable for Nissan to import it under full volume.

Dont be suckered in by these backyarder's or wannabe importers as remember these guys are the same people who said you will never get cheap GTR's which is why so many got suckered in buying rust buckets and they also said cost of compliance will be out of your reach.

If some fool wants to pay me $30,000 for doing nothing aside from forwarding a few email's drop a line to [email protected]

Having a bit of trouble convincing Nissan to waive the 18 month wait to make it eligible under SEVS, for some reason lol.

In all seriousness, Nissan stalled on bringing in the S15 and a very smart operator snuck in the early ones, which is why we now have both import and local models available. There's no way in hell Nissan will make that mistake with the GT-R.

My agent in Japan is willing to do one for around $130K too as a personal, but by the time you wait for one to be delivered (currently a 3 month wait) then 12 months ownership and all the stuffing around, the local Nissan GT-Rs will be available anyway...

No doubt a few will appear here next year under race/rally though...

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • 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?  😛
