Whether Nissan brings them in, or only private importers, doesn't make much difference to prospective buyers.

As long as they're available here in reasonable numbers within a reasonable timeframe.

the same damn government that's got one of the best import laws for a country with its own automotive manufacturing industry?

No, the same govt whose protectionist taxes, duties and double taxes increase the end cost of such cars as this. I wonder what the price of an R35 would be if the govt didn't hit us/manufacturers with all these taxes.

Cheers for that. That was what I was missing. RAWS can only do used cars so we are back to 18 months of waiting to see what Nissan does.

these two docs might be of help:

From memory our current emmisions requirements are equivalent to Euro 2 via ADR79/01. Since the 35GTR will be sold in Europe it will obviously have to pass Euro 2 standards to be elligible there. The currently available (JDM) 35GTR may only pass the Japanese standards, not the Euro standard. But I don't see that as an issue as it will have to eventually, so it may simply be a matter of uploading or changing the ECU and perhaps fitting some Euro standard (fast warm up) cats. None of which is a big deal. Obviously if it goes on sale in Australia then it will simply be a matter of duplicating what is done to the Ozzie version.

As an asside, the major problem with passing Euro 2 emmisions that I have seen with JDM vehicles (M35 Stagea being one of them) is cold start and run. The cat/cats simply don't warm up fast enough. When the engine is warm (but not yet up to running temperature) they are OK, but only just. Once the engine is up to operating temperature they have no problems at all.

Personally, I will be waiting until the 35GTR's are on sale in Europe before I order mine.

Protectionist taxes (duties) = 10% (it used to be 42%)

Luxury Car Tax (on the value over $57,123) = 25%

GST (same as on everything) = 10%

So the real "protectionist taxes and duties" are only 10%, as locally produced vehicles are subject to GST and the LCT applies if they are over the cost threshold just the same.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
