An R35 For Less Than $80k Aud Landed

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?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Yeah I got the email to this too.

Be good if it were for road use tho but only track.

$74,800 = probley the cheapest R35 GTR around ATM... Hehe!!

[rtune]

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 .

You are dead right. It can't be road registered ever. Plus you also need a cams license (3S??) etc

[Paragon]

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...

[LEANBAC]

i wouldnt want to know how much it will be it fix

[R32zilla]

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!

[m3gtr]

lol, yeah suuure, thatll buff right out.

Cheap to fix?

Where are the spares?

[shnaped_second]

Im sure there would be some spares with all the wrecks throughout asia...

[Drift Motorsport]

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

[skybox 32]

just stick a band aid on an she'll be sweet to go....

[GTRboy]

ill take offers to buy here in the UK

50k GBP, about 104k, Ill own it for a year then import it, then sell it on to you

haha

[Kaido_RR]

or you could buy a mint one from japan for 85k (only 330km)

add shipping and rest of the fee, still be alot nicer than a smash one, and still pretty cheap

[gts-4 dreamer]

importing from jp will still be cheaper!

[zillaman]

well this is for sure thats not a small dent
