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! ;)

  • 4 weeks later...

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.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
