Does any one on the forum know when the importers are allowed to start importing the new r35 gtr and what time frame are we looking at, stuff buying it from nissan direct, they charge way too much for it.

Nissan Australia sell it here currently , so it is unavailable for import.

That's no entirely correct.

You can import JDM models but there's incredibly strict rules to follow, and as such, it's not worthwhile for people to import them. One of the main criteria is the car must be 100% brand new, before build date of 03/2009 (or there abouts).

in case you didn't get it from the previous answers to your question....they are NOT going to let importers bring them in. EVER. Except for those who will wish to argue;

a) the caveat around personal imports (which I'm sure is not what you meant), or

b) once they are 30 years post the first date of manufacture

so to answer your question precisely, they will allow you to import them in 2038.

No need to get your paperwork ready just yet....

True, I should've been more clear about that, It's a similar situation to when the 100 odd Aus R32's were sold here is it not ?

And as to whether they are relaxing their rules regarding non ADM model support I'm not sure but im almost certain they will not be made available for widespread import.

I have heard Nissan Aus are now relaxing things a bit as they can see they are losing money on parts that they could be selling

You'd hope so.

Purely from a business perspective, i wonder if Nissan Japan know how Aus Nissan treat their customers.

What kind of a screwed up business model says, "hey we have this huge customer base of die hard car fanatics, but we're not selling them anythng cause they didn't buy the car from us"

Honestly, I don't think Nissan Japan would give a flying toss of the Oz market because it's one of the smallest customer base in the world. I've been to the Nissan headquarters here in Lidcombe and it's the tiniest office you can ever imagine for such a huge global company.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.

      Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update.

      Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this

      For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
