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

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
