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)

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:)

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
