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

www.angelfire.com/mb/southo

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

      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.
