Yep, a simple out.

"We factor $5k for complaince, but hey, what do you know the actual price is $35k"

Baron, on a side note I'm really worried that someone will get caught out just like the whole Stagea issue previously mentioned. Where is all this at? Is it a 100% given that complaince will be given?

If not when compliance is sorted after you add all the factors up to work out the cost per car you will be looking at $15,000 to $25,000 at least and only a fool will charge less then that, what tosser is going to charge $5,000 to $10,000 and cover recalls for life of model on a car like the R35 GTR which is for ever in case you ask and it includes all costs.

Nothing in life is 100% and going on what a car dealer or wannabe car dealer says is a bit naive no more then a bit.

lol, if they can get me a brand new R35 GTR with under 100kms (not 1000, not 10,000 but 100), landed and on the road for under $100K as they clam then I am in. whoever is selling them compliance for $5K is the most generous, benevolent sevs workshop on earth! I really can't see it happening though.

so will i buy one

even if it has 1000kms under 100K i will but it !!!!

Well another batch of 25 plates has popped up in Sydney so doing the sums if it does include stamp duty (which is around $10,000 depending on the state) it will be $160,000 plus LCT component of $23,407 so $183,407 plus insurance not cheap for a grey import which will have a warrenty but again who is going to service these cars at $120,000 for the OEM Nissan equipment.

Luxury Car Tax is calculated as 25% of the GST exclusive portion of the vehicle purchase price over $57,009, the Luxury Car Tax should then of course be added onto the GST inclusive price of the car so the supply price for the car would be $183,407.

why didnt they knock out all the evil fringe dwellers with the 350GT why the GTR.

surely they would have sold more 350GT's than GTR's.

And Luxury Car Tax what a joke its like they are saying you have more money so you wont miss it as much as every one else.

i can say unless this bum fight gets fixed my new employer wont be geting me one of these cars truly sad

j-spec already have them advertised on the site for around $100K landed and complied

guess i'll buy a sliver one when they get down to 60 or so :D

shaun ,

does that mean i can buy the black one from j-spec and comply it . I though compliance was not available yet .

mike

apparently it is

that one was for $99K landed and complied the other day (they estimate) but the exchange rate would have changed already

shaun,

that is cheap for a r35 gtr . what would be wrong with the car if any . where can i confirm about compliance . So if i buy it I can comply it when the plates are available

mike

At least it's available. Good for potential buyers, seeing as they don't need to wait a year.

But is it available, as far as I am concerned it means here is my money now give me keys, not we will put you on list for expression of interest, not put a deposit down for car and final payment when and if approval is gained, not we assume it will be approved and we assume it will cost this much but for now give us this much and we will contact you when avialable.

When New Low Volume is approved on the R35 GTR I will know quite quick as it wont be a well kept seceret but others on the forum will know with in seconds and they will post it on the forum so till then unless a Rego/Compliance plate is fitted take every statement about the R35 GTR being approved with a grain of salt.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
