it weighs like 2 tons its gonna need them......

those 40k r34 gtr's have all done over 100000ks so there gonna need a 10k rebuild the first week you buy them.

for some reason the lads at J-spec didn't like my suggestion of putting:

"if you thought buying an Evo would compensate for your lack of driving skills, this car is sure to make you look like Colin McRae reincarnated."

in the description of the car.

I wouldn't be putting your kidneys on eBay just yet.

My $5 says grey-import GT-Rs never make it here - and that we'll follow suit (yeah, I'll accept the pun) with the EU countries noted below.

"Lawyers representing Nissan have written to a number of businesses regarding their vehicle importation activities.

The businesses in question are suspected of importing and/or offering for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA) Nissan vehicles originating from Japan and which are intended only for sale in Japan. The trademark owner, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd, has not consented to the importation or sale of these vehicles into the EEA and either of these activities would infringe Nissan's trademark rights.

These businesses have been warned not to engage in these infringing activities and, if this is ignored, Nissan will seek the support of the English courts in enforcing its legitimate rights against those businesses.

The basis of this action is well established and has been confirmed in decisions of the European and English courts over a number of years. The action does not seek to prevent individual customers or businesses from buying Nissan vehicles intended for the UK or European markets.

Gary Frigo, Nissan Motor (GB) Limited's Managing Director, said: "We have been made aware of a significant increase in activity in the import trade of certain vehicles, particularly the Nissan GT-R, which warrants immediate action."

On the subject of the new Nissan GT-R Frigo explained further:

"Nissan's number one priority is to ensure that the GT-R and its dealer network are in optimal condition to facilitate and support our customers. It will take until start of sales in March 2009 to do this. Until that time the UK will have no GT-R trained technicians, no established GT-R parts supply and, most crucial of all, the GT-R will not be covered by a manufacturer's warranty."

Nissan remains committed to providing customers with the best possible vehicles, in terms of value and specification, within the context of the regulations for safety and emissions laid down by the UK and European governments."

Its pretty much guaranteed you'll never get a road registerable parallel import R35 GT-R in australia under the SEVS scheme. The only way possible is via personal import. Non road registerable race/rally only imports on the other hand... mmm I'll have mine glazed with hundreds-and-thousands thanks.

As for the copyright line of attack by Nissan in the EU, our federal anti competition laws might not agree. Nissan wouldn't have to play that card in Australia anyways, as they should get full volume importation rights here, nullifying any volume import avenue.
