you could buy a very nice apartment with a harbour view for what that barge costs ...but it's harder to look like a rich prick in an apartment

speed, quality, price.... feel free to combine any 2 only

that L-series would sound crazy good with the triple side-draught webbers and no filters

bump come on you 'i know all about car dealerships' types...

Got rare?

isn't Hoyts on the 4th or 5th level? lol

but your $160k sale price already includes LCT as part of the calculation- surely you don't pay LCT on LCT as the end user? anyway- i forgot to add import duty to my equation (so much for my financial skills), and it doesn't include a 'skip the waiting list' premium: but it's looking more like $123,000 to $125,000 without compliance (which you say will be $15,000) for the base model, which comes to $140,000. if Nissan list them for $150K, what will the ORC's consist of?

Well, based on what people have said, and taking the new L.C.T rate after July 1st into account (but using the current exchange rate for Yen), you'd be looking at around $115,000 to 117,000 for a new base-model R35 landed without compliance. Of course you'd then have a car with no warranty, no-one able to work on most of it's systems and no local parts support (as yet).

so would stamp duty be paid on the purchase price in J-land, or on the cumulative total cost after the govt. had bent you over and reamed you with other taxes already? (i think i know the answer though...)

Spotted a tasty pink tid-bit today should have got a shot of the front brake upgrade- the 400mm discs give the 6-pot calipers a very snug fit inside the standard 20" rims

well that's a fairly narrow exemption window

lost a drag eh? scan the time-slip and post it up so we can compare the E.T and M.P.H of both cars: maybe it's just ur 60 foot time....

this seems like too much effort to me- did you get a "genuine" 30kkm car? for that sort of money, you could have bought a comprehensively rebuilt 32 in Australia. but, if ur happy ....

So, what would it cost to get one here and on-road if you bought a base model R35 directly from Nissan Jp, given that the LCT has just gone up to 33%?

Is the price range on the Nissan Japan website for the cars before or after tax? Like, say- you could buy a car from them 'duty free' if the prices were with tax added??

wonder if turbo shuffle affects the R35? haven't read any comments suggesting so yet...

What a load of hot wad. Generally, the more someone pays for a car, the less likely it is to be driven on a regular basis, and therefore has next to no effect on resources/emissions (not that regular use makes a lick of difference, but anyway...) Where's the disincentive for someone not to use a thumping great 6-Litre, planet-raping, baby seal-clubbing, SS Commodore ($44,990) as a daily driver?? the key will be how the 'may' bit is determined (like, more than 1 car per year)...

did it actually come down in tonights budget?

"The 250GT California: It is his life, it is his passion..." '...it is his fault he didn't lock the garage door ' Not a bad looking bit of gear. A few try-hard details, but that's just like all Ferraris these days. Expect a waiting list that stretches past 2012 though...

great for a drag car but the thought of a torque converter in a normal GT-R street-car makes me mildly queasy....

Was just checking the current SEVS register, and it says that the R35's only eligible as a 'New Vehicle' (so is the Fuga, don't all be disappointed at once...) Now my understanding of 'New Vehicles' is that- "The vehicle hasn't previously been presented for registration in Australia or another country" Does this rule out second-hand R35s for road rego using SEVS??

i saw that too- paper was full'O'crap: a base model GT3 doesn't cost over $300K

very true inertial loads rise as a square of the percent rev increase (nb: assuming reciprocating component weight remains unchanged)- say you wanted to raise the rev limit on an RB26 from 8000rpm to 9200rpm (a 15% increase), the load on the reciprocating components would increase by just over 32%.
