Yes they will c AUS roads i think.

They are still a young car, just as we have seen

increased demand for R34's I think we will c the same

for V35 gradually, maybe compliance next year? But

I wouldn't bet on it.

They don't seem to be as sort after as R32-34 in the import

market yet. Until that happens I don't expect RAWS to comply

them. Many people (not me) don't like there Euro style shape.

I could see myself possibly getting a 3.5 sedan in the future.

Thier shape has grown on me slowly.

The V35 is a completely new lineage for Nissan, I haven't seen very many parts that swap over. That's the big bonus for R32/R33/R34, there is soooo much available, from the exotic/expensive to the generic/good value. All tastes are catered for.

The big killer is that there is no HERO car, no GTR, no GODZILLA, nothing to pass on the charisma.

:( cheers :(

so there is a workshop currently in the process to gain approval for them?

i reckon the coupe, lowered with rims and the little rear spoiler look the goods :( Saw them on the road when i was in canada/usa last... changed my perception of them once i saw them in the flesh..

i think i'd still get someone to fabricate up a tailight surround so that it leaves 2 afterburners... only see the stove-tops when braking :(

Its kind of a dead model in a way.. considering the V36 is meant to be a totally different beast and I think different shape to boot.. at least it will have the GTR at the top, which might inject some life into it as a desireable car again.

I'm really wondering if any of you actually KNOW the status.

There are about 5 workshops all over Australia claiming that they will have it soon. Some say a week, others a month.

I guess they are all dealing with a government dept. so they probably do not know themselves.....

Next Week, Next Month, in a few days....

Do you sense my frustration

Does anyone know why it is taking soooooo loooong....

WON'T BE LONG NOW GTS

ONE OF MY MATES IS HOPING TO BE APPROVED BY CHRISTMAS...

The hold up is the seatbelts as they havent got VW written on them so the belts had to be sent to Melbourne for testing, I have 2 copys of it coming to sort out for a couple of workshops.

The sooner the better for everybody, got a 2004 EVO 8 MR sitting in the show room and it will be through in about 6 to 8 weeks, I have about ten people who came in and have asked to be put on the expressions of interest list after one week.

I think compliancing is now avaliable thro Nizmo Pty Ltd, Eagle Farm in QLD. I found it on the DOTARS site. http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RAWPubSearch.asp

if ya wanna search models and workshops for compliancing

G'day Fellow,

I'm a Noob with Skyline. However, having seen the V35 on the internet. It is slowly growing on me and would be interested to know what will the market going rate be when it is release into the Australian market?

Also on the side note, what would the service be like? Could you be serviced by Nissan Australia?

If fellow SAUers could assist me with the above mentioned queries, I would greatly appreciate it! ;)

I have a Question in regards to import. As we all know the V35 compliance is not yet available. Are we allow to import a 2 door V35 into Australia and leave it in our garage until the compliance plate is ready? Is the car allow to enter Australia's shore and allow you to collect it from the port? What will the custom require ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

u can but with the risk of it being stolen, burnt etc ? no thnx

well... a RAW has to submit an import approval yes???

so i guess you have to get the workshop you will eventually get ur compliance done at, to submit for an import approval. Could be a problem if they don't want to do V35's.... maybe you can switch to another workshop? i dunno exactly how it works but was under the impression u def need a RAW to do the import approval bit.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
