Guys,

I'm looking for someone that owns an Australian Complied and Delivered GTR prefrably in Brisbane. Does anyone know of anyone..?

Initially I'd like some digital photos of it for an insurance claim I have outstanding at the moment (engine bay is the main one).

Some bastard performed an identity swap on mine while it was having some repair work done and the insurance company maintains it's my car.. I've had a vehicle inspector look at it and confirmed it was an import but the insurance company won't budge.. They tried to find one up here to put them side by side but they can't find one...

Can someone please help me...

Thanks,

LIMITLESS

You mean 1 that Nissan actually sold in Oz? Not a 'grey' import R32?

If so, the tail lights are different from the original Jap model. I know of 1 or 2 in Melb (for photos).

I have PM'd you the URL to some pics showing the major differences, including the removed reverse lights from around the number plate, moved indicators etc. If you need anymore let me know, as I should be able to get access to one quite easily to take some more photos for you.

You are welcome to any of the photos on my site

I have a few other pics to that may assist.

PM me and let me know of any specifics you need.

Basics to highlight to them...

Colour - only Silver, Burgundy and Black were available on Australian Delivered models

Antenna - Roof mounted radio antenna on Aus Spec models

Bonnet Badge - Aus Spec models had the Nissan Corporate "hamburger" badge - imports have the "S" logo

Front Guards - Aus spec models have the rectangle indicators located in the front guards

Oil Cooler standard on Aussie Models

Tail lights - Aussie ones had all lamps in the one cluster (single brake lamp, single indicator (both round) with the small square reverse light in the middle) - Imports have twin brake lights, the small square is the Indicator and the reverse lamps are fitted to the Number plate surround and neccessitate bending the rear 6 digit plate to fit (see pic on bottom of this page http://www.angelfire.com/mb/southo/page7.html)

Dashboard - Aus spec ones did NOT have a fog light switch on the instument cluster - the switch was used for the dash board dimmer switch.

Speedometer - 260Km/h speedo fitted to Aussie models as opposed to the Jap spec 180km/h

Speed limiter - No 180km/h limiter fitted to Aussie models

Compliance / build plates - 3 Plates fitted to the firewall on Aussie spec models - BLUE plate on the drivers side and two silver plates on the passenger side beside each other

    • Cheers Duncan! As always I'm happy to post them here. There's a good 30% more cars at the OAM than what are shown in the photos too, so well worth a visit.

    • Awesome pics Rezz, thanks for sharing them Another stop for my "need to do in Japan" list
    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
