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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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. :blink:

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
