Importing R35 Vs Nsx

[kylieyeah]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to see if anyone had the answer to why it's possible to have R35's imported but you can't import an NSX to be used on the road, unless it was a personal import.

Thanks

R35 can only be race import now...

[Jimbo Jam]

Maybe something to do with SEVS listing? also NSX spare parts are very hard to get these days I hear...

Can't import either for road registering purpose, both for the same reason.

hmmm, weird because xtreme motorsports has imported a few and sold them off here to be road registered.

Not sure of the rules but the NSX started in 1991 so can they bring them in if they are over 15years old?

Old 15 year rule is goneski. All Pre-89 vehicle are eligable for import, post-89 has to be on the SEVS/RAW list or whatever the fcuk it's called.

both are/were sold in full volume to our market. no import.

I'd be curious to know how.

Consignment - Xtreme Motorsports is into selling several cars on consignment.

Sorry about the late reply Iron Chef.

I purchased 2 R35 GTR's back in 2010 when they were close to new and had to find each one which I purchased a few months apart with less than 400kms

as we could comply them. They were both Ex-Demo's and purchased from Nissan Dealers and had to verify that with RAWS with full documentation.

1 had less than 100kms and the other had 350kms. There is only 1 compliancer who could do that and I am not sure if he has done anymore recently.

Also I did have the first one I bought in for sale about 4-5 months ago as I bought it back as I was going to keep it but decided not to as I wasn't driving it.

Not really. We own everything here as consignment cars are usually a headache.

We did try that a while ago on a selected few and had headaches and decided no longer.

We know would rather purchase the car and sell it or wholesale it to another dealer.

Chris bought his BsB R34 GT-R from your place on consignment last year.

I helped to inspect it with him and his wife.

I dont know whether its for sale or not but there is an NSX in the showroom of a Honda dealership in Sutherland. A silver one up on the second level, sitting in the window for all to see.

[GTR-N1]

Been there for a while next to the window glass.

Great distraction as you turn left isn't it?

[R32GOJIRA]

If i forget to look as i go past, i snap my neck trying to look when i remember haha.

[R32GOJIRA]

Just for shits and giggles, i just rang them lol. The sales rep had some vague details.

This is what i got:

IT IS FOR SALE AND REGISTERED!!!!

Something like a 1993 model

last offer for it was $180,000 but was refused as it is worth much more (apparently he says)

has only 26kms on the clock (not 26,000)

is some sort of special edition (possibly the Zanardi Special Edition, or the NSX-R GT Special Edition)

apparently it is the car that lead one of the Indy races a few years ago.

[R32GOJIRA]

Has anyone seen the new NSX concept just unveiled? Looks wicked, but not sure if it will rival the R35.

Wow.. 26km on the clock that's unreal. Worth a fortune.
