i think so? i'm not sure!

i figure its just Eligible at the moment

Basis: Regulation 24(4)(b)(ii)(A) and 24(4)©(ii). Model of vehicle has not been supplied in MA Category to the Australian market in Full Volume and meets 2 out of 4 criteria.

there would have to be more compliance work

??

I'm guessing it will be as soon as a compliance workshop takes it on.

First shop to be able to do it should be rolling in the $$$$ soon.

i'm not so sure about that.. they are fetching a rather large price in japan, looks like people are making profit on the sale price. will have to wait for that to die down a bit.

yes, finally shows up.

What this means is that now RAWS can apply to compliance the car to australian standards... of course this means that evidence will have to be provided to gain the ability to comply them... so it might be a while before we see them parallel imported.

However this doesn't stop workshops bringing in "test cars" to make modifications and gather data from.

Depending on what format Nissan Australia uses to bring in the R35's, if they were to import them as low volume, then parallel importation for the whole period is possible. However if Nissan Australia gets full volume importation then we won't be able to import cars made during that period.

Anyways, the good news is, from now till Nissan Australia officially sells its first R35, any R35 made in japan is eligible for import (providing it complies with the "new car" regulations, as that's what the approval is for.)

I'd say any price under $150,000 should be competitive enough.

with people already bringing in examples for race-use only, im sure there will be at least a few rich folk heading out to buy one, but hey i could be wrong.

Rolling in the $$$?? doubtful.

Compliance on the R35 will not be cheap, plus the market price in Japan, current demand, taxes, you name it.

That's true. Do you mean the price of compliance for the buyer, or the price of compliance to be able to comply it?

Of course the cost for the buyer will be high, but if you can afford an R35 in the first place, you can probably afford compliance on such a vehicle.

Only time will tell I guess.

well i never...... can't believe Nissan didn't shut the door on this....

from my experience engineers reports, evidence packages and clearing it through DOTARS can't take for eeeeeeeeeeeeeever

well since the cat is out of the bag I might as well give up the news. Yes the R35 has been added to the SEVS list. This was done by Herman at Envy Imports last month. In a little partnership between Herman and I we are importing an R35 with the intention of gaining compliance for this model. It being on the SEVS list does not mean much though, so don't get too excited. It just means it's an eligible vehicle. There is still a long (and expensive) process ahead of us but we will almost certainly be the first in australia to be able to supply and comply R35 GTRs for road registration. If everything goes to plan we will be able to import and comply 2007 and 2008 models, possibly even early 2009 models. I am also supplying another R35 for someone for race use.

If anyone is interested in importing an R35 feel free to send me a PM as I don't want to go into too much detail here. Our first car should be arriving next month. :blink:

Yeah it is good and all but the prices being discussed are still around $165K (for the Premium) by the time everything is done, and given that is around the same price that Nissan Australia is talking about it's a massive risk to lose the warrinty etc just for the sake of getting one of these cars a couple of month earlier.

Unless the savings were so huge that the costs could possibly out-weigh anything you'd save on a possible warrinty claim I just can't justify not waiting for the local delivered models.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
