Guys,

I'm looking for someone that owns an Australian Complied and Delivered GTR prefrably in Brisbane. Does anyone know of anyone..?

Initially I'd like some digital photos of it for an insurance claim I have outstanding at the moment (engine bay is the main one).

Some bastard performed an identity swap on mine while it was having some repair work done and the insurance company maintains it's my car.. I've had a vehicle inspector look at it and confirmed it was an import but the insurance company won't budge.. They tried to find one up here to put them side by side but they can't find one...

Can someone please help me...

Thanks,

LIMITLESS

You mean 1 that Nissan actually sold in Oz? Not a 'grey' import R32?

If so, the tail lights are different from the original Jap model. I know of 1 or 2 in Melb (for photos).

I have PM'd you the URL to some pics showing the major differences, including the removed reverse lights from around the number plate, moved indicators etc. If you need anymore let me know, as I should be able to get access to one quite easily to take some more photos for you.

You are welcome to any of the photos on my site

I have a few other pics to that may assist.

PM me and let me know of any specifics you need.

Basics to highlight to them...

Colour - only Silver, Burgundy and Black were available on Australian Delivered models

Antenna - Roof mounted radio antenna on Aus Spec models

Bonnet Badge - Aus Spec models had the Nissan Corporate "hamburger" badge - imports have the "S" logo

Front Guards - Aus spec models have the rectangle indicators located in the front guards

Oil Cooler standard on Aussie Models

Tail lights - Aussie ones had all lamps in the one cluster (single brake lamp, single indicator (both round) with the small square reverse light in the middle) - Imports have twin brake lights, the small square is the Indicator and the reverse lamps are fitted to the Number plate surround and neccessitate bending the rear 6 digit plate to fit (see pic on bottom of this page http://www.angelfire.com/mb/southo/page7.html)

Dashboard - Aus spec ones did NOT have a fog light switch on the instument cluster - the switch was used for the dash board dimmer switch.

Speedometer - 260Km/h speedo fitted to Aussie models as opposed to the Jap spec 180km/h

Speed limiter - No 180km/h limiter fitted to Aussie models

Compliance / build plates - 3 Plates fitted to the firewall on Aussie spec models - BLUE plate on the drivers side and two silver plates on the passenger side beside each other

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
