Back in the Nissan game, Couldn't resist it, been 15 months since I last owned a skyline and I've had withdrawals ever since. Although I have plenty of other cars to keep me satisfied, there was still a hole that only a GTR could fill.

2010 model with 3000km on the clock. Never once been LC'd or tracked (but has done a few runs on the Autobahns before I got it). Ive owned it for nearly 3 months now but haven"t been on SAU in a long time.

Now how much did I pay for it? From a Nissan dealer in Germany. I think it is a bargain of a lifetime, gone through 3 sets of tyres in 3 months (odometer is at 18 000km now).

My main fault with the R35, there is stuff all exhaust noise, I"ll probably sell it in a few months when the weather here turns to shit and roads ice over (when i"ll be back in AUS anyway).

SO anyone keen to start off the guessing game???

Photos abover were taken in the Italian alps, car has been to Germany, AUstria, Holland, Luxembourg, Italy and Switzerland. Been fined to date 3200 swiss francs for speeding infringments, but they have the best drivers roads, it isn"t fair!!!

Top speed on the German AUtobahns so far is 318km/hr (and the manual says it's 310kph)

Although despite it's great exceptional performance, it has nothing on my first R33 which although it was vastly slower and basic, was much more enjoyable to drive. IMO Nissan has completely lost the soul of their cars. They are technical marvels today but after a while of thrashing them you get sick of it's predictability and lifeless personality. Despite this it still puts a smile on my face. Anyone know if it is easy/hard/ possible to disable the front wheels from having power???

Yeah, it might be lacking soul, but I was never into drifting and all that jazz. - To be honest I'm 200% happy trading in all that soul for the R35's blistering handling, neck snapping accelleration, and all the bits n bobs that make it a "family" super car (for me).

2nd handers go for real cheap in the UK. I'd be guessing about AUD$60-70,000k

50 000 euros ($60 000) 2 years old and it had f**k all usage.

I just got back from USA, and second hand they are dirt cheap over there as well. Although most cars are cheap as in USA, 2010 AMG C63 was just over 30K USD.

Wow thats cheap! Ive got a friend who lives in the US. Would it be easy to bring it here and comply it? Eg, He brings it in his name ect

its my understanding that it's illegal to import cars that are sold in the Australian market.

unless you're importing as a 'personal import' in which case i think you need proof that you lived in the US for 12 months (at least) and are now residing in Australia.

You can import GT-R R35's that are build dated Dec 08 and earlier, but there is a km restriction on them

Personal imports still stand, but as you say, proof is required that you've owned the car overseas continuously for no less than 12 months

One problem being LHD

Not a huge problem, they are made for RHD as well (chassis is set up for both RHD and LHD). Cost for parts would be the main issue unless you found a complete dash at the wreckers.

Having said that nothing is simple to do on German cars, so probably seems easier to do than it would be in practice.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
