Does any one on the forum know when the importers are allowed to start importing the new r35 gtr and what time frame are we looking at, stuff buying it from nissan direct, they charge way too much for it.

Nissan Australia sell it here currently , so it is unavailable for import.

That's no entirely correct.

You can import JDM models but there's incredibly strict rules to follow, and as such, it's not worthwhile for people to import them. One of the main criteria is the car must be 100% brand new, before build date of 03/2009 (or there abouts).

not to mention how much of a huge bhuut fharque once in the country with nissan placing embargos on the jdm ones... Buy second hand from aus... There's always someone selling something :)

in case you didn't get it from the previous answers to your question....they are NOT going to let importers bring them in. EVER. Except for those who will wish to argue;

a) the caveat around personal imports (which I'm sure is not what you meant), or

b) once they are 30 years post the first date of manufacture

so to answer your question precisely, they will allow you to import them in 2038.

No need to get your paperwork ready just yet....

True, I should've been more clear about that, It's a similar situation to when the 100 odd Aus R32's were sold here is it not ?

And as to whether they are relaxing their rules regarding non ADM model support I'm not sure but im almost certain they will not be made available for widespread import.

I have heard Nissan Aus are now relaxing things a bit as they can see they are losing money on parts that they could be selling

You'd hope so.

Purely from a business perspective, i wonder if Nissan Japan know how Aus Nissan treat their customers.

What kind of a screwed up business model says, "hey we have this huge customer base of die hard car fanatics, but we're not selling them anythng cause they didn't buy the car from us"

well that kind of sucks then lol... so i guess me hopeing to pick up a r35 gtr 2010 model for around the 130k-140k is impossbile i take it, without going through a used car dealer..

i am soooo done with this thread it's not even funny

look

there's like a TINY TINY window of opportunity to pick up a JDM gtr... it's an even better idea to buy a GTR jdm for sale here in australia - as they're keen to sell...

ugh

nvm

Honestly, I don't think Nissan Japan would give a flying toss of the Oz market because it's one of the smallest customer base in the world. I've been to the Nissan headquarters here in Lidcombe and it's the tiniest office you can ever imagine for such a huge global company.

You should see how Nissan Japan treat there customers..

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
