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.

      Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By zique · Posted

      Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
