bear in mind also if you get a R35 as a grey import

you will find it near impossible to insure before they are released in OZ

everything will be in japanese, all the voices will be in Japanese

The Sat Nav wont work

No warrenty

there is no news on when the grey imports will be allowed to be driven on Aust roads

Will be limited to 180km/h EVERYWHERE including the race track

current estimates that ive read on local cost of the GTR will be ~150k form your local nissan dealer

everything will be in english

will have a warrenty

uncapped speed limit

HOWEVER I have herd rumors that Aust will be getting a slightly detuned model, but that is just a rumor

Personally id keep the R34 atleast until the JDM R35s have approval to be driven on Aust roads

Hi

Maybe i will sell the V-spec2 Nur and still import one R35GTR.

cheers

R34 V-spec2 Nur = how many $$$$$$$

Do you have any pictures of it?

You raised a good point there i would prob just wait for the release from Nissan Oz

how is this any different to people insuring $120K R34 GTR's when they first got here? Shannon's wouldn't care

there is no news on when the grey imports will be allowed to be driven on Aust roads if they get it all cleared before the 18month window closes, which is likely, it will be fine

Will be limited to 180km/h EVERYWHERE including the race track numerous ECU "upgrade" options already available to get around this

uncapped speed limit wouldn't be so sure about that

well fuel considerations need to be made, but it's not like they're purposefully sending out lower power versions

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
