Was driving down Compton Rd at Springwood side when I swear a Black R35 came round the corner!

Now I was still driving so my head turning capabilities were limited but the back lights were there.. now unless I was daydreaming someone is getting around with one on the road..

Any other sightings?

i think u can buy them under the import laws for compliance here, a company in NSW is selling them for $160K or so. i know that a guy in the US has got one legal over there but had to pull the transmission and the engine out of the car, ship it over, then reassemble it as a built car. sounds like a lot of hassle if they are doing it for these ones sold here.

nvm i think they are driving it on dealership plates.. i saw photos in the r35 discussion.. yeah i know you can bring em over.. but not ready for compliancing.. thats why nissan have to wait.. my brother in law was thinking bout buying one but cant wait till compliance.. you can get 2007 - 08 models for 99 - 120 from some i've seen..

actually there is one near my area Wishart a black R35 GTR with standard QLD plates on it HJOxxx , i spoke to the owner a 48 yr old bloke he said he bought it from Yamanto Imports down south and they complied and arranged everything for it .. i'll try and get some pics when the owner isnt around ..

But i do know there is a few comming in on as Race only imports if you have a cams L2-4 licence you can own one and drive it .. the compay that complied this R35 was I-SHE Imports never heard of em before must be new?

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
