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.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
