Wonder who will be the first to offer clear guard indicators for them?

And also of course the reflectors on the rear guard - red instead of white? Yeah its a shame that the US spec cars always get the orange side markers especially on Ferraris and Lambos where the original car wasn't made for side markers but they've been slapped on anyway.

It'll be interesting to see how each country adapts the R35 to their market, but there won't be many modifications i reckon (only minor stuff like the indicators).

My bet is the Aus-Spec 35's are re-badged with the Holden emblem.

HAHAAHH yeah, that ain't gonna happen any time soon

it will be interesting to see the differences in spec

just looking at the differences between the V35 and G35 there are quite a few..

G35 has cruise control, V35 doesn't

G35 has full leather heated seats, V35 has leather/suede and no heated (only on 75th anniversay edition)

G35 has homelink and autodimming mirror, V35 doesn't

V35 has fold-in mirrors, G35 doesn't

V35 has rear camera option, G35 doesn't

V35 has different entertainment system options (analogue TV rather than sat radio)

i'm tipping the GTR to be similarly altered between countries to fit what they see as being important in their market. i would expect the euro cars to get the most gadgets if there are any discrepancies..

i dont think you will see similar differences, remember that the G35 is infiniti, and theyre sold as a luxury brand cos americans dont want to pay top dollar for nissans. but the GTR is still nissan so wont have the same upmarket options, not based on the fact that the G35 does anyway. Although it already has the GPS and BOSE sound system and what not i dont think it will come with any US extras

US GTR's cost-

2009 Base 2dr All-wheel Drive

Invoice: $65,744

MSRP: $69,850

2009 Premium 2dr All-wheel Drive

Invoice: $67,672

MSRP: $71,900

I reckon the biggest difference is how hard the Australian dealer is going to rape you in the back pocket.

The dealer and more so the government! When you have a decent car market like the US does, you don't have to tax the crap out of anything imported in order to force people to buy the local product.

So lucky us, get to pay tax on tax on tax, +GST for anything not made in Aus :-)

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
