Will There Be A R35 Gtr Here Is Oz In 12 Months Time?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone bought or thought of buying a V35 GTR now in Japan and bring it back with them in 12 months time as a personal import?

Obviously you would have to live in Japan for 12 months to do this

Anyone know of someone planning on doing this?

itll never retain its value as well as a genuine aussie one and will probably cost you the same kind of money, plus all the navi stuff and buttons will be in japanese...

not a good option IMHO

lol ur telling me that with all the technology in it,you cant change the nav screen to english?

wtf?

:laughing-smiley-014:

There is more too it than just changing the display language to English.

Word is that there is imported R35 GTR entered in 2008 Targa Tas next April.

So hopefully you'll be seeing one in Oz in less than 12 months time.

edit: ok just saw this already mentioned in another thread....d'uh

I had read it in GoAuto...

Brockas can you explain how that works please. I'd be interested if you can buy one from Jap now for under $100K and get it here even if it cant be road registered.

P.S. you suck at bball. :wave:

I hope you realise by the time you get it here it will cost you a lot more than the original price , you will have to pay GST, LCT and import duty.....

Once a vehicle is imported for race/rally the chassis number is recorded and from then on that car can never apply to be complied or registered. That vehicle is only approved for import for purposes of race/rally and cannot be used for any other purpose.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
