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???

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!

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
