its done!

[lingeringsoul]

does that mean people can register it now?

[Angus Smart]

i think so? i'm not sure!

i figure its just Eligible at the moment

Basis: Regulation 24(4)(b)(ii)(A) and 24(4)©(ii). Model of vehicle has not been supplied in MA Category to the Australian market in Full Volume and meets 2 out of 4 criteria.

there would have to be more compliance work

??

I'm guessing it will be as soon as a compliance workshop takes it on.

First shop to be able to do it should be rolling in the $$$$ soon.

i'm not so sure about that.. they are fetching a rather large price in japan, looks like people are making profit on the sale price. will have to wait for that to die down a bit.

Rolling in the $$$?? doubtful.

Compliance on the R35 will not be cheap, plus the market price in Japan, current demand, taxes, you name it.

yes, finally shows up.

What this means is that now RAWS can apply to compliance the car to australian standards... of course this means that evidence will have to be provided to gain the ability to comply them... so it might be a while before we see them parallel imported.

However this doesn't stop workshops bringing in "test cars" to make modifications and gather data from.

Depending on what format Nissan Australia uses to bring in the R35's, if they were to import them as low volume, then parallel importation for the whole period is possible. However if Nissan Australia gets full volume importation then we won't be able to import cars made during that period.

Anyways, the good news is, from now till Nissan Australia officially sells its first R35, any R35 made in japan is eligible for import (providing it complies with the "new car" regulations, as that's what the approval is for.)

I'd say any price under $150,000 should be competitive enough.

No doubt we'll be seeing a few get around this year.

Word is one of the tycoon's here in Griffith has placed an order for one too.

[lingeringsoul]

with people already bringing in examples for race-use only, im sure there will be at least a few rich folk heading out to buy one, but hey i could be wrong.

Rolling in the $$$?? doubtful.

That's true. Do you mean the price of compliance for the buyer, or the price of compliance to be able to comply it?

Of course the cost for the buyer will be high, but if you can afford an R35 in the first place, you can probably afford compliance on such a vehicle.

Only time will tell I guess.

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ehh

so not fair!!!

"plays NFS with the R35 for the next 10 years"

^ probably release a R36 Buy that time!!! lol!

[SS8_Gohan]

well i never...... can't believe Nissan didn't shut the door on this....

from my experience engineers reports, evidence packages and clearing it through DOTARS can't take for eeeeeeeeeeeeeever

[N1GTR]

This is great news......here we go

[Mr. Keets]

Stroker kit or hangout for another 18 months until the prices drop (hopefully)mmmm. Come on Nissan drag your feet until the V-Spec comes out

well since the cat is out of the bag I might as well give up the news. Yes the R35 has been added to the SEVS list. This was done by Herman at Envy Imports last month. In a little partnership between Herman and I we are importing an R35 with the intention of gaining compliance for this model. It being on the SEVS list does not mean much though, so don't get too excited. It just means it's an eligible vehicle. There is still a long (and expensive) process ahead of us but we will almost certainly be the first in australia to be able to supply and comply R35 GTRs for road registration. If everything goes to plan we will be able to import and comply 2007 and 2008 models, possibly even early 2009 models. I am also supplying another R35 for someone for race use.

If anyone is interested in importing an R35 feel free to send me a PM as I don't want to go into too much detail here. Our first car should be arriving next month.

as mr burns would say....

excelllent

Yeah it is good and all but the prices being discussed are still around $165K (for the Premium) by the time everything is done, and given that is around the same price that Nissan Australia is talking about it's a massive risk to lose the warrinty etc just for the sake of getting one of these cars a couple of month earlier.

Unless the savings were so huge that the costs could possibly out-weigh anything you'd save on a possible warrinty claim I just can't justify not waiting for the local delivered models.
