Why Can't We Have The Glanza!

[West]

Hi,

After owning skylines for the last 6 or 7 years, i decided that i need a break from the skyline scence so i went out and look for something small, less power, compact but still fun.

At first, i was looking at all the EG CIVICs, SUZUKI CAPPUCINO..........but it was love at first sight, i saw a white Starlet 1.3lt Turbo intercool for sale by one of the SAU VIC member and i was like that it, i have to have it. Two days later and its mine , been doing lots of research to see what i can do to it..............................................................................

.and i came across a GLANZA , i never knew a newer version of the STARLET EXIST! I so want one but none is available in Australia, why?

Toyota never bring it to our shore so why none of the importer try to bring it in? I reckon it's a hit on the Market for small cars, it will turn all this potential Honda buyer around, it will be a CHICK MAGNET. Anyway, here is a few pics of what they look like, enjoy .

Im with you West

The first car I bought new was an Aussie delivered white starlet and I desperately wanted a Glanza.

I looked at a few at the auctions when i was in Japan and decided if I ever saw one crop up in Australia I would try and snap it up.

Very cool little car

Perfect chicks car,

I know heaps of girls over here who have them, if you've got a girlfriend and access to one, get her one

mine was about to, but got a corolla instead

A GLANZA or an EP91 that has been converted to GLANZA?

[redevil]

yeah there's a few for sale around brisbane

I don't think that they are that new, I was in Europe in 2003, and there was a fair few of them on the streets, kitted up with neons and the whole fast and the furious style which was big at the time, the look and sound pretty awesome for a starlet!

No, they are not that new but we dont' get them here that's the thing.

I was just wondering why IMPORTERS won't try to bring them in when they could have a big potential sale.

[funkymonkey]

because its not on the SEVS list... and the reason for that is possibly that the EP91 was sold locally in a not so cool version. If the chassis (with the same silhouette) is sold locally then it can't be imported under SEVS.

you could possibly buy a locally sold EP91 and do a conversion using the parts etc.

no wai... then I couldn't give all the yuppies shit for driving a corolla with leather seats with a lexus badge

I'd personally go the turbo Altezza myself, or even better a JZS161 Aristo with a Supra 3.0L Turbo 2JZ.

I'm not usually a fan of small cars, but I got to admit that looks sweet.

[nisskid]

contact a guy called Kristian (Iron Chef Imports) off ns (and maybe on here) he deals with helping alot of people get cars in and knows his shit.

basically u apply for SEVS approval like in this thread: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=171649

[funkymonkey]

hehe as keen as kristian is on applying for new SEVS cars, i doubt there's any way he nor anyone else can make the EP91 appear on the SEVS list unless it came in a cabriolet form or some freaky shit like that.

just buy a 4EFTE and jam it in a locally sold EP91 starlet n call it a day.
