This has probably been covered but i saw a black R35 Gtr in perth the other day. Imported for race use apparently but the kid is driving it round on dealer plates.. so f-ing jealous!

[Basti]

trippy. i dreamt i saw a gtr in the same colour on the monash last night

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

my g/f reckons she saw one on chapel street on monday arvo.

i thought sh was bull shitting so i said did it have number plates and she said that they were wierd looking with just numbers and they were in like a plastic wrap thing (trade plates)

would be nice if it were true

would have been better if i was there so i could confirm

[play r 32]

Forgot to mention the one i saw had transformer stickers on the side mirrors already!

Spill the beans Sewid!! Stop holding us in suspense.

[m3gtr]

This seems highly dubious.

How can the GTR be possible to register this early in the game?

I thought only race and rally examples were eligible for import?

Is it that nissan screwed up again and didnt notice loopholes were being exploited? Or is it more likely this is just hype?

Because if the rumours are true...

[m3gtr]

Correct me if im wrong but isnt the only way to get a GTR registered in Oz before the official delivery next year is by private import after having owned the car in Japan for a year?

[Dahtone Racing]

no there are other ways to get em regoed

juts like 99 model S15s could be imported

not unless compliance is granted to a RAW.

collecting engineering data and registering a car are two very different and distant processes. it just means that the compliance process is under way. now begins the game of back and forthing with DOTARS.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

And a very expensive game that is. Good to see a few floating round though, looks promising.

which is exactly what i was thinking. How long is that process expected to take?

Surely Nissan wouldnt let the same thing happen like it did with the S15?

anywhere from a month to a year.

why not? its not like they lost out on sales with the S15. Initially the cost to bring in an S15 as an import was more than it cost to buy from Nissan Oz. Its only now that its a lot cheaper to import them. Care factor for Nissan Oz about resale value... nil.

Well the legislation is quite clear in this regard. I am reading the doco now and im suprised I missed this earlier. There wont be a lot of these coming in but a few lucky people can and will get them on the road soon.

[carizma]

we still have the 18 month rule to consider starting from October 24th 2007, its still a long way off.

so whats the score? wheres the loop hole?

I can confirm that the one that is supposibly at the Ford Proving ground is NOT from Nissan Australia. The one that Nissan has just arrived the other day into Melbourne in one bloody big timber box..... How do i know this you ask?, I saw the car today and know where Nissan is hiding it:)
