R35 Grey Import

[Snowman]

I'd heard the clock in the JDM cars was set to a satelite time and couldn't be changed consequently but I found that hard to believe. Be interesting to see what you come up with.

PS - looking forwards to tomorrow night

The carwings button doesn't work

Neither of the wings deploy...

The funny thing is the ADM cars get the button as well - only it's labled TA and does nothing. LOL

I still find it silly that Nissan Oz won't supply parts to non-Nissan Oz imported cars.

It's these grey cars that are out there (ok maybe not the pure road rego ones) bringing brand awareness when racing, not to mention added and valued turnover of parts.

My way of thinking is Nis Aus should have a re-think, maybe obtain the names and VIN's of the rally rego examples in Australia, and support those guys with parts.

By this I mean the likes of Jones, Giant, Leihmus, Alford, Quinny etc ... they're all out there racing these things, not daily driving them.

I wondered what it did when I saw it... so the users manual just conveniently ignores it's existence?

No - if Oz ever does implement the Traffic Alert systems then the GT-R is ready for it and the button will actually do something. My Mrs has the same thing in her VW as well.

Its just that they don't do anything now because Oz isn't set-up currently to support it.

Not good on Nissan refusing to sell those Major serviced parts to none Nissan garages. Do you think garages would be able to source the major parts from Nissan Japan???? If something big in the car breaks will we be able to repair these major parts?

Wouldn't want to have to ship the car back to Nissan Japan just to get it fixed cause its impossible to get the parts. Surely these major parts can be brought from Japan???

Btw the JDM R35's Radio doesn't work in mine, wrong bands etc, my "Carwings" don't deploy either, but I get a nice picture of the Japanese sea when i push it.

Dont' think there is a button to get to Tyre Pressure in the JDM R35. But I just push the Talk button and say in a slightly Angry Japanese voice "TY-YA" and the lovely Japanese girl under the hood brings up my tyre pressure for me everytime LOL. (its in Jap measurements but you can convert that, didn't even know it had that feature till I spent 5 minutes yelling various Japanese sounding words at my Japanese voice control to see what features I could bring up that I hadn't seen before.

The JDM has CF Card so I put in a 16 GIG SD card with all my iphone MP3 Music on it, works great. Find it hard to believe Nissan Australia took the super cheap option and removed this feature which would of saved them what? $200? Leaving the music box which is very limited. The USA models even have CF card & a +$400 Ipod intergration option if you want it. Piss poor of Nissan Australia on that one. Considering you can't put a new stereo system in they really should of left the CF card.

Must say i'd love to have a ADM one for the new launch control option under warrenty. Not that you really need launch control in this car but would be nice to do it without the threat of breaking the tranny.

It's not ALL imported Nissan's, just R35 GTR's that I'm to understand.

Similar to HSV and the Walkingstick VL, you had to quote the VIN to be able to purchase parts.

Nissan with R35 parts are doing the same.

Macarthur Nissan help me with imported parts for my KHR30 PNV lots.

As Duncan said, they haven't learnt much in 15 odd years.

Some might understand how Toyota did the same with Celsior's vs LS400 Lexus & Soarer's vs SC400 Lexus.
