Can you get compliance if Nissan Australia is going to officially import and sell the car? I was under the impression that if a car is sold through a local arm of a car manufacturer then that model couldn't be imported unless it was a personal import.

Maybe thats why the car in question is not available for street use.

you can import cars not sold here as long as they are on the SEVS list (meet certain requirements, basically, power/weight ratio) and they weren't sold here AT THE SAME TIME. The Rx-7, S15 were both sold here but can also be imported as long as you choose a year that they weren't here OFFICIALLY. As we won't be getting the GTR until 2009, that leaves any 07/08 GTR eligible for import... BUT

Nissan OZ seem to be making quite sure there is not going to be a market for this car, so don't expect any "grey" GTR's to make it here for road use

how are they making sure theres donna be no market for it exactly?

I suspect the first Australian market one will be "sold" very soon... it is probably here already :laugh:

Well that is what I would do if I was Nissan Oz.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
