I would like a really clean photo of the side badge off the R35. Straight on shot.

I have this one but if you look close there is a bug sitting on it.

Photoshop, mate...photoshop.

Hows this?

Bug> What bug???

Farkin Ace mang!

cept...well...you know that dust you can see around the top edge of the badge,....???? :)

Reckon you could magic that away too, bruv?

with the right money.. anything is possible...

Money cant get past the law for the common citizen...

Im 100% sure it was a Personal Import.

There is no other way.

Makes sense...the cars been here in Tokyo for over a year now...i was at the Tokyo motorshow for the launch...

I can 1,000,000% assure you it is not a personal import (number one fact it is a 2008 build, number 2 fact you have to own the car in Jp for over a year {or is it 2 years now?}). The import has been approved by RCVS and there are only 1 or 2 workshops in Aus that can bring in 25 each. All of the plates have already been allocated as far as I know, but for some reason this plate was issued quicker than the others, as bureaucratic red tape is holding issue of plates up. There are probably cars sitting in workshops with all the compliance work already done, just waiting for the green plate.

RVCS approval (click)

Under the RCVS approval you HAVE to buy the car direct from Nissan Jp (so anyone who brought one in prior to the ruling cannot comply it) and the car has to be brand spanking new (under 20 kilometres). International Motor Group had the compliance done by GT Compliance on this one, and they are well known for getting things done first.

You can buy one from these guys (click)

There is someone hocking complied ones on Car Sales, but the price is too cheap - so not sure what that is all about.

R35GTRs for sale

edit regarding this comment :

Mate, have some common sense - anyone who is anyone knows the R35GTR was released December 6 2007 .... whether they were 'launched' at the motor show or not.

lol, I'm 100% sure you are 100% wrong. This may shock you, but things happen in the world you may not know about. That car was imported eariler this year to sydney as a test car. It was complied and registered in Sydney and then sold to a buyer in adelaide. it is not a personal import so I don't know how you got to be 100% sure of that...

Well come on then - go out there are try to bring in for yourself an R35 without going by the regulations.

Youre regular enough surely?

While I wasn't specifically talking about car importation (although I have no doubt that you could do it with enough cash and knowing the right people) the simple fact of the matter is that your comment "Money cant get past the law for the common citizen..." is proven wrong every week, inside (and out of) our courtrooms :thumbsup:

...and anyway it appears that the Baron has cleared up the matter.

I was so hoping this thread was just going to go away quietly... :thumbsup:

I saw Jasons pic of the car in sydney but didnt click on it being sold to Martin.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • 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.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • 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?
