my g/f reckons she saw one on chapel street on monday arvo.

i thought sh was bull shitting so i said did it have number plates and she said that they were wierd looking with just numbers and they were in like a plastic wrap thing (trade plates)

would be nice if it were true

would have been better if i was there so i could confirm

This seems highly dubious.

How can the GTR be possible to register this early in the game?

I thought only race and rally examples were eligible for import?

Is it that nissan screwed up again and didnt notice loopholes were being exploited? Or is it more likely this is just hype?

Because if the rumours are true...

Correct me if im wrong but isnt the only way to get a GTR registered in Oz before the official delivery next year is by private import after having owned the car in Japan for a year?

not unless compliance is granted to a RAW.

collecting engineering data and registering a car are two very different and distant processes. it just means that the compliance process is under way. now begins the game of back and forthing with DOTARS.

which is exactly what i was thinking. How long is that process expected to take?

Surely Nissan wouldnt let the same thing happen like it did with the S15?

anywhere from a month to a year.

why not? its not like they lost out on sales with the S15. Initially the cost to bring in an S15 as an import was more than it cost to buy from Nissan Oz. Its only now that its a lot cheaper to import them. Care factor for Nissan Oz about resale value... nil.

Well the legislation is quite clear in this regard. I am reading the doco now and im suprised I missed this earlier. There wont be a lot of these coming in but a few lucky people can and will get them on the road soon.

so whats the score? wheres the loop hole?

I can confirm that the one that is supposibly at the Ford Proving ground is NOT from Nissan Australia. The one that Nissan has just arrived the other day into Melbourne in one bloody big timber box..... How do i know this you ask?, I saw the car today and know where Nissan is hiding it:)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
