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.

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

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 :-)

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
