btw.. Interesting what they say:

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT IMPORT FOR ROAD USE AS THIS MODEL WON'T BE ELIGIBLE TO BE ADDED TO THE SEVS LIST AS A SECOND HAND VEHICLE UNTIL 18 MONTHS AFTER FIRST RELEASE IN JAPAN (ie. APPROX. JUNE 2009), PROVIDING NISSAN DOES NOT IMPORT TO AUST. IN FULL VOLUME BEFORE THEN

So the R35s getting quietly listed cannot be complied until mid next year? if nissan are slow?

but what don't get is the hints that there are R35s that can be for road use available or

soon to be available for nutty prices (160k), and there is one compliance shop so far that

has done the work to comply them.

But this advert says flatly that nothing can be done until 18 months after the japan

launch date. And if nissan import before mid next year nothing can be done at all, leaving

anyone buying one hoping to get a blue slip, in the lurch.

how to reconcile those two things?

That car has also been rear-ended... It's cheap, but personally if I had that sorta money I'd prefer to hunt down a straight one over a cheaper, crashed one.

We'll get the jap spec ones before aussie nissan gets them here I reckon.

I think Prestige Motor Sport are just playing it safe, cause they know its a pretty thick Red Tape ATM with all the SEVS and what-not.

So if you can get a cheap one like this, repair it and get it to Road use then thats friggin sweet!

I would like to go for the V-Spec Model.

correct me if i'm wrong , but if you import a car for rally/race purposes it would never be able to be complied for road use. I though that to register a car it needs to be imported as a road car to begin with. If i'm wrong then this would be a bargain to buy .

The guys selling the GTRS for 160k are not selling them as second hand I believe but rather as limited numbers of brand newies. I dont think SEVS allows you to bring in damaged cars for road use anyway or even cars that have had accidents and repaired.

Hahaha wouldn't buying a rear ended R35 just be a great idea...

That'll be an easy fix, just head straight on up to your local Nissan dealer and grab a few new R35 panels that they obviously dont have...

I have heard...so its just a rumour...that if you ask nissan for parts for your R35 (panels) outside Japan - they have the right to refuse supply.

Although I guess it wouldnt stop you using a supplier in Japan who would then whack on their %.

Cheap 35 though! nothing that gaffer tape couldnt fix!

Needs at new quarter, bever panel, rear bar, tail light and a skilled workshop to do it. You may get change out of 20k to fix it properly if you can get the parts.

Any idea how much cheaper the import ones will be compared to the local ones? I can't afford the circa 150K price. lol

      All the best with it mate. Hopefully no dramas. I found quite a few issues when i pulled mine out eg fkt trans and engine mounts, throwout bearing, i had not been aware of, so 'any car maint' can be worthwhile it seems.

      I think it's the alternator, there's some cracked shit going on with the rectifier. But so far, seems to be fine again? No sparks, no weird arcing when the leads went on. I ran this past a mate, he said he had similar issues before and his auto sparky replaced the alternator. All I know is, car works, car not on fire lol.

      Brother-in-law's workshop. And I'll be doing. Family doesn't get priority over long running customer jobs. It wouldn't normally take so long to get to a task of mine, but there was a series of unfortunate events involving the dyno (blowing it up) that caused a serious backlog in the normal workload, that has toaken literally forever to get out from underneath. I can't do, or more to the point, choose not to do, jobs at home that require tools I don't have or would leave me without my daily if something goes wrong that thwarts me. Gearbox out on the floor with chassis stands is not palatable when I can use a hoist at the shop. But I've only had the box for a few weeks. It's the injectors and AFM that have been waiting on access to the dyno.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welp, I have been driving it around (a bit) and messing with idle and return to idle characteristics. This is all well and good until I discovered my starter motor... is nearly dead. This is unfortunately after I booked my exhaust and tune in. This is the new section of my exhaust, after losing my mind with vbands and clamps. Yes I now have 4 mufflers. The two middle ones are 5in body 3in pipe round straight through mufflers or incorrectly named 'resonators' whatever you want to call. How does it sound? Muffled.   Car runs richer now in low load. Is it restriction? Or lack of exhaust leaks. I also figured out a way to make the Analog Readout match the serial WB Readout. All of this requires a car to you know.. *start* to tune the maths, which was not ideal when I needed it to get to the exhaust shop and back. It started when cold. 30 mins after the car got home, it was time to get stuck into it. Unfortunately this thing has no identifying marks on it at all. I contacted Mal Wood and asked if he could send me a replacement and he asked me to remove it because they've changed starters with their kits a few times over the years. I asked other companies with LH LS starter conversions and they all use different starters unique to their kits. I did find CAE performance supply Mal Wood - But they are out of stock for this starter for the next 3 weeks. The tune is booked for Friday 30th. Here's hoping the local starter motor repair place (which interestingly has a 5 star review from Trent @ Chequered) can get this rebuilt/sorted out so I can get it on and put the car on the dyno. Here's hoping!
