I'm not an importer, but the rule has always been the same: As long as you don't import a car manufactured WHILE it was locally available here in Australia, then you're fine.

Example 1: the R32 GT-R was available from 1989 through to 1993, but was only officially sold here through Nissan in around 1992, so anything before or after the time they were OFFICIALLY on sale via Nissan Australia is okay to bring into the country. You can also bring in any(?) GTS or GTSt R32s because they were never available here at all...

Example 2: the Z32 300ZX was never officially brought into Australia with the twin-turbo VG30, so you CAN import one of them because it's different from what Nissan offered.

Example 3: the S15 Silvia was also only brought into the country for a certain period, so anything outside that time is fine. Also, the S15 Varietta was never available at all, so you can get one of those too (but they are pretty rare, and are all non-turboed SR20s with an auto-box).

r35 GTR only had approval to import as a brand new car.. which means the window is now closed permanently.. With the yen the way it is the aussie ones are cheaper anyway.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
