Top Gear Aus tested a white one with NSW plates on it.

They're definitely complying them over in WA as well, a street-rego'd R35 took out Targa West last year....

I know of someone who imported over a 100 units of these. basically, you can still 'grey import' them as long as Nissan haven't brought them in yet. alot of the dealerships are getting their stock through grey importers at the moment. My mate was lucky enought o see one when they first arrived. He was a passanger in one that day but wasn't aloud to drive it. hehe poor guy.

anyway, to answer your question. yes, there are quite a few with compliance already.

when youre rich enough to actually afford an r35 gtr, i dont think youd be too fussed about trans fluid costs.

That the furniture place next to the Caltex servo in Chatswood, near the end of the Gore Hill? Seen the Lambo and Fezza several times when stopping for petrol, head the Fezza screaming through Crows Nest too

I've also noted lately that vehicle import agents are listing the R35 as race import only now - that is for 2007 builds. Maybe the complience plates have all been bought up for the year?

Interested to find out how many have actually been imported here to see what the potential sales loss is for Nissan Australia.

I'd be more concerned about the $20k you gotta spend when it breaks gearboxes. I don't see why they brought out a launch controller when they knew it lead to reliability issues.

Well...if we're taling about performance between IS-F(as I know IS-F is replacement of supra, right?) and R35...

I would say R35 is better...

If you're taling about looking...well..that's fully personal preference tho...hehe

I would have thought the LF-A would be more of a Supra replacement...

Nissan dropped the R3x and just call it GT-R.

Its like a league of its own now but not sure if they rebranding it as R35 here.

Nissan GT-R

Heard a lot of stories about busted gear boxes not covered by warranty due to using the launch control too many times!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

None the less, its a great car !!!! :)

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
