No-one's approached me about getting an R35, and to be honest, I'm not upset about it - for the amount of work it takes to get one in, it's worth more in effort and drama than I'm charging for my broker's fee, that for sure.

But don't listen to people like Beer Baron who has imported more R35 GTR's then years some of you have been out of school or off your P plates, listen to someone who has no idea what they are talking about and just seems to make comments about anything to get their post counter higher.

MMMMM I hope this coment is not directed at me. :(

I agree with that too. there is no pot of gold under the R35 that's for sure. all the people I know (including my good self) involved in exporting/importing/compliance etc of R35s are doing it because they are really excited about the R35 and wanted to get some out here asap. they certainly wont be getting rich off it.

and as Driftt pointed out the facts are that no one buying one will be doing it to save money. they will be buying an import purely because it's currently the only way to get one right now in aus. those willing to speculate and wait on nissan will be able to get one around the same money, but they will be waiting a fair whack longer. that's the big difference. and for some that is a very strong case for buying an import to get one right now.

Well I think I MAY have a pic of the first registered one?

Was out the front of a swanky hotel (in valet parking area) here in Wollongong on the weekend.

I'm not going to say that it IS defiantely the first one, but looked very legit, i.e. no evidence of it arriving in any other fashion other than driving on the road with those registered plates.

you are spot on mate. and yes it is legit. and yes to the best of my knowledge it is/was the first. and the plates will give you a big clue as to who complied it. :D

I knew you would come through with the goods.

I thought I would hide it in this thread so that I didn't get castrated suggesting it was the first in a new topic.

Novotel at the beach?

yeah

yep, this is the car that Willall Racing/Keir Wilson bought - it is currently here in Adelaide (arrived this morning). I sat in it this arvo and got some nice pics too.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
