There's too many coming in these days... I'll know the next premium black one that comes in :thumbsup:

Wonder what these cars owe them landed and complied? you would definately want them considerably cheaper than the est 160k Aus delivered price given no wnty etc... Or are they paying full whack just to be one of the first to have one???

No red tape that way.

Inside word is compliance on them will be between $15K and $20K once plates are finally through. Not cheap!

If youre telling the truth, its daylight robbery...

I go through all the shit of bringing the car in over the course of a year and someone thinks that because its the GTR, they can add 15k to their asking price despite the fact their job isnt any bloody different.

Makes my blood boil.

*waits for inevitable industry related backlashes*

adam mate, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. before you want to get all high and mighty maybe do a bit of research into the subject.

for any workshop gaining compliance for the R35 it is a BIG investment. They have to buy a car for starters so there goes $110K. emissions testing were are talking in the tens of thousands again. preparing evidence of compliance for the rest of the car, big dollars again. add to that huge amounts of paperwork and time spent with engineers.

Even discounting the car cost, let's say they tip in $100K in time and effort. Now given long waiting lists and short supply in japan, and add to that nissan jp will not sell cars to people specifically for export, and anyone buying an auction car (even one with <300kms) is running a huge risk of it being declared "used" and thus inelligible and it is conceivable that they will only plate 5-10 cars. so the compliance cost needs to reflect that.

also, you said: "I go through all the shit of bringing the car in over the course of a year and someone thinks that because its the GTR, they can add 15k to their asking price despite the fact their job isnt any bloody different."

what are you talkign about? what shit are you going through to bring in R35s? and who is adding $15K to the asking price? I honestly am stumped!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
