OK...here is the list that I can tell from the JDM Premium:

1) Sat Nav

2) LED Driving Lights

3) AUX input for Screen

4) Card Reader

5) Voice Recognition

but we did get Headlight washers...Wooohoo :PBJ: :PBJ: :PBJ:

Thanks Gibbo so in comparison to US and JDM etc it's the pov pack gadget wise.Sure I didn't buy the car for the gadgets but makes me wonder why Nissan AUS would spec them down like this.Tiny market or not we are paying top dollar.Would have been nice to plug in the IPod.Such is life out here in the colonies.

LED driving lights are not standard on any models in japan either. they are all a $2K option.

aux input is on both prem and base models.

card reader is on both too.

so is sat nav.

so is voice commands.

that is why the premiums are so over rated. the only good feature in my mind is the dark wheels. as they light ones looked awful, but you can get those added to the base spec in japan. the so called premium model is just an option package. you can get any of the premium features added to your base spec, and much more if you like. you are basically paying a fair bit more dough just for the bose system (which I didn't like) and a slightly better alarm (I'd rather save the money and spend it on insurance).

even the base stereo still has DVD player, CF card reader, hard disk music box, voice commands, sat nav, rear subs etc. so you don't gain much for the money.

I really would have liked the CF slot. On cars with it, can you download data from the car? (from say a track session, oil temps/pressures etc etc?)

I saw a USA video review of the R35 and the guy said the laptimes buttons on the steering wheel record direct to the CF card for review later.

Never tested it on my JDM. as the laptimes thing is very confusing being all in Japanese.

I highly doubt that is possible in the JDM R35. Not a big deal most of the important stuff is in English or semi english. (the important stuff). Satnat and a few other things to do with voice regognition is all Jap though.

yeah, i agree. I got the premium model mainly for the dark rims, and the Bose system....... at one stage i actually wondered whether they have given me the sound system of the base model as they don't sound impressive at all

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.

      My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.

      I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache

      Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
