In theroy, for someone to import one, someone has to sell one second hand in japan. The waiting list for one is far too long to just rock up and buy one with the sole intention of shipping it overseas.

Therefore nissan is missing out on a sale if a second hand one is baught here in australia rather then another one being baught new from a dealership. While this 2nd hand vehicle would probably be baught anyway in japan, this is besides the point.

But I have this to say to nissan:

DONT SEND THE NINJAS!

No.

Only NEW vehicles are eligible for import into Australia so Nissan Japan get the profit and Nissan Australia get a cleaveland steamer from ylwgtr.

Interesting the GT-R doesn't look as big with a commodore in the picture.

And Nissan Aus you crafting bastards! it's our gt-r not yours.

lol at this whole thread, but seriously wat is mr.colin buckley gonna do if we buy on through grey imports??

i cant afford one but if i could i would definately buy grey import rather then through nissan aus. so much cheaper and more power.

Here's a couple pics of the WA one in Fremantle going past the pub, and along the cafe strip :(

i think we should have a window of 2-3 months to import the r35 under sevs (if u have the $$$$ i think a few workshops are working at now it and its just a matter of time) before nissan get access to full volume. prob here is how many gtr's can be bought and sold during that time?.

Colin if u are reading this, im sure most ppl who wanted a gtr will now source it directly from japan, so price it well DONT de-tune it like the s15. please learn from your mistakes.

simple statement.

WE are loyal to the car NOT the Nissan Australia dealership.

here is a great opportunity to win back the enthusiast/fan base. This is NOT a good way to start btw.

u are fighting the very ppl who have worship the legacy of the gtr and have brought the new gtr to the status that its at. this car will simply sell itself so ditch ur marketing team ,advertising etc etc and pass the savings onto your customers.

Agreed.

Sure Nissan Australia need to make a profit, and show that they can sell the car, but why oh why would anyone buy a locally delivered car, if the imported ones are better?

I'm not talking abstract dealer servicing or local knowledge, or any of the other so called "service" that they spout about (and rarely deliver on), but the pure abilities of the car.

If I can get more performance for the same price by grey importing, then I will do just that.

The GTR is a hero car. Nissan probably won't make much profit from it, but it will raise the profile of the company greatly. Getting people walking through the showroom doors is half the battle.

Driving a De-tuned GTR would be like going on a date with Jessica Alba, and finding out she's a man. True your friends wouldn't know, but deep inside, you'd know the truth and want to strangle yourself with you own intestines.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
