we still have the 18 month rule to consider starting from October 24th 2007, its still a long way off.

are you joking?

tell me you dont know what youre on about.

Youre not trying to say i have to wait 18 months to export a car to Australia from japan as a personal import??!! :miner::)

no, from Oct 24th 2007 + 18 months is the window that Nissan OZ has to show documentation that they plan to import these cars in FULL VOLUME.

IF Nissan does this, (and if i get this next bit correct) no one will be able to import them... well, grey import them

but 12month+ rego hist for personal imports will still be ok

i'm sure there are about 50 people in this thread who can correct that if i'm wrong

Indeed my mistake - the car is actually at fords proving grounds, cos the pics I seen of it were in there testing, on the dyno and on the hoist!!

The gunmetal colour looks AWESOME - how lucky would u be working at ford.

I think this car is probably the one that will be displayed at the motor show later this month!! So if its a different colour - id say theres more than one official GTR in the country!!! :miner:

Yeah, I would love to work at ford. From what I hear they will be lucky to have a job in 09.

Ill take a stab in the dark and guess that the owner of that one is the same guy who owns a white v35 twin turbo that suffered a failure at wakefield park causing a decent sized oil spill a while ago. It may have been the powerplay day but was a while ago so my memory isnt 100% on the organisers of the day. He also used to own a done up R34. Tallish bloke. Was at the last sau dyno day at UAS. He really likes to talk. Was also at the BBQ i organised at coledale beach but came late and had a crowd around the v35 (as it was newish then).

Yep, i reckon its that guy

but if they dont apply for full volume it opens up a window like with the s15's (correct??)

You're not wrong.

But its not what people are doing in this instance. There is another way to get a car in that does not rely on any of this. The proof will be in the pudding once the car is wearing a NSW license plate.

I cannot say what exactly the requirements are because i am not an expert. Just going off what I've been told there is not an 18 month wait involved in this case. Nor is there a 12 month personal import taking place.

hmmmm.... very interesting.......

my guess is that maybe as this will be a car sold WORLD WIDE, it helps it fall under some other area that DOESN'T require the testing/evidence extent of other JDM models?

Being a global model might mean that it's deemed more compliant with our ADR's already????

just a stab

Damn guys...reading this thread gave me a headache.

Let's rename this forum J-Spec Imports...

I will assume Nissan Oz will bring in R35's within 12 months. This isn't 1990 and the GTR will sell much easier than ol' R32.

Aside from a small number of racing teams and other importers bringing in R35's now, you can be sure Nissan Oz has been in talk with Nissan Jap and also Gov't bodies to cut some deals. There's money to be made here and Nissan will be there with bells on.

Lets get a few things corrected.

A car can only be imported into Australia with an appropriate VIA. From my contacts 3 VIA's have been issued for R35's.

1 x Nissan Australia (Melbourne Motor Show)

1 x Donut King

1 x NSW company (unknown name)

I have been told that Nissan have special a special VIA that allows them to register the car under certain conditions. The other 2 vehicles have been imported under the Race/Rally regulations via Perth.

I have also been told that if either of the non Nissan cars are used on the road (with trade plate or not) that the owner faces immediate confiscation of the car and the owner and/or driver faces very stiff (corporate level) fines. If as other forum members have noted that a car has been seen on the road, where is the Video footage and photos? In an age where every one has a phone with a camera, how come we don't have any evidence of a car in Chappel Street? Sounds like an urban myth to me.

Why would you risk a 150K plus car on the road when it shouldn't be there?

lol nice nick too.

but surely more than 3 VIA have been issued? there are other r35s on the boat already right, so hopefully they obtained import approvals first.

As you said above there are 3 race/rally already here (1x NSW, 2x Perth)

Nissan has one

and a group in NSW have one, presumably to obtain compliance

giant has bought one race/rally (on the boat yet?)

DK have bought 2 more (but may not have been put on the boat yet)

Your so called DOTARS insider is about as clued up as the average public servant I see...

- The donut king car is race rally

- Theres a few more than 3 VIA's issued for R35's.

- About 10 people have posted pics of 35's on the road with trade plates, take your pick.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
