I think you might be right akeenan, one of the guys I work with said he saw one in Moe (of all places!!) and he apparently knows his cars too.....

If there is any here they would be grey imports im talkinga bout nissan selling them from the showroom floor here in australia

[akeenan]

yes your talking about australian delivery like the early r32 gtrs and some for one would prefer to import one. everything which comes outta japan importing wise is always better.(usually)

[pentae]

Yeah you can trust Nissan Australia to 'tune down' anything that comes out of japan before they give it to the Australian public.

Nissan Australia couldnt even hope to be a pimple on Nissan Japans ass.

The whole purpose of this post was to point out that Nissan might sell the skyline here in oz which it hasnt done since nissan stopped making the r31 locally and the 100 r32 gtrs. Im not denying the fact that most would want to import under sevs:D

Yeah, I bought my brother a die-cast 1/43 scale V35 Skyline sedan about 2 years ago....

no seriously. i remember reading something a few months ago about some spot. plus ive seen photos of them on the docks... but i guess you'd know a little more

i was going to buy one of those 1/43 models. one in a tude but i decided to go the r34 should bought them all.

Shrub32, the rest of that interview (not published on that web site) has Leone Daphne saying that "I can't see where it would fit into our price range [above or below 350Z], we wouldn't sell the required numbers and even if we could, the cost would be prohibitive."

I don't like your chances. It's rumoured the new (G36???) Skyline four-door will be sold worldwide. If it was, we'd get either British or US-spec interior with Jap-spec engine and unique suspension.

Daphne is hot for the up-coming Nissan GT-R (it's no longer badged Skyline) but doesn't yet know how much it will go for. The good word around the industry is that it will be more than $100,000 (remember it's Nissan's "Halo" car to sit above all others.)

how come in the article its called a G35 i thought it was suppose to be V35??

[akeenan]

the g35 is the infinity, sold in the north american region... it looks like the v35 but badged under another name.
