Emissions regulations tightened at the start of 2004 in Australia, so that effectively rules out anything later if you want a turbo model. They are still working on getting them through at the moment, but having enormous difficulties.

Nissan did make a 3.5 litre NA model, so you'd have to convince a workshop to do the evidence for them if you're keen enough and patient enough.

Mate, I would suggest that you do a little research on this forum and have a look at what a couple of us are going thru with these VQ25DET motors. One person has just had a succesful court case against an import workshop for providing false info. We are now on the same path (unfortunately) and are seeking a judgement against the import broker. On top of all the money we forked out for the car we are now faced with about $10G's for a court case as well. 20 months we have been trying to get this bloody car thru emissions and I seriously doubt if it ever will!

Do your homework bud and don't become another victim.

cheers

hmm, I was of the understanding that your car had the VQ35DE. Or was that the other court case?

And the VQ35 models came in manual too - I've been tempted for a while now...

So am I, rear wheel drive but not cheap last time I looked and now F#@KING expensive, then they have emissions to sort as well, they will pass just different test for Manuals and Auto which doubles the price. It will happen but the market needs to stabilise a lot more.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
