btw.. Interesting what they say:

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT IMPORT FOR ROAD USE AS THIS MODEL WON'T BE ELIGIBLE TO BE ADDED TO THE SEVS LIST AS A SECOND HAND VEHICLE UNTIL 18 MONTHS AFTER FIRST RELEASE IN JAPAN (ie. APPROX. JUNE 2009), PROVIDING NISSAN DOES NOT IMPORT TO AUST. IN FULL VOLUME BEFORE THEN

So the R35s getting quietly listed cannot be complied until mid next year? if nissan are slow?

but what don't get is the hints that there are R35s that can be for road use available or

soon to be available for nutty prices (160k), and there is one compliance shop so far that

has done the work to comply them.

But this advert says flatly that nothing can be done until 18 months after the japan

launch date. And if nissan import before mid next year nothing can be done at all, leaving

anyone buying one hoping to get a blue slip, in the lurch.

how to reconcile those two things?

That car has also been rear-ended... It's cheap, but personally if I had that sorta money I'd prefer to hunt down a straight one over a cheaper, crashed one.

We'll get the jap spec ones before aussie nissan gets them here I reckon.

I think Prestige Motor Sport are just playing it safe, cause they know its a pretty thick Red Tape ATM with all the SEVS and what-not.

So if you can get a cheap one like this, repair it and get it to Road use then thats friggin sweet!

I would like to go for the V-Spec Model.

correct me if i'm wrong , but if you import a car for rally/race purposes it would never be able to be complied for road use. I though that to register a car it needs to be imported as a road car to begin with. If i'm wrong then this would be a bargain to buy .

The guys selling the GTRS for 160k are not selling them as second hand I believe but rather as limited numbers of brand newies. I dont think SEVS allows you to bring in damaged cars for road use anyway or even cars that have had accidents and repaired.

Hahaha wouldn't buying a rear ended R35 just be a great idea...

That'll be an easy fix, just head straight on up to your local Nissan dealer and grab a few new R35 panels that they obviously dont have...

I have heard...so its just a rumour...that if you ask nissan for parts for your R35 (panels) outside Japan - they have the right to refuse supply.

Although I guess it wouldnt stop you using a supplier in Japan who would then whack on their %.

Cheap 35 though! nothing that gaffer tape couldnt fix!

Needs at new quarter, bever panel, rear bar, tail light and a skilled workshop to do it. You may get change out of 20k to fix it properly if you can get the parts.

Any idea how much cheaper the import ones will be compared to the local ones? I can't afford the circa 150K price. lol

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
