5) Latest AMG merc

I know they have been complianced in QLD, saw one for sale for $180k with a years rego.

[JSTCHLN]

yea i have seen 2 (a silver and black one) up here on the goldcoast both more than once and I dunno about you guys but I like what im seeing...maybe not what im hearing though (bout how temperamental nissan is with their warantees etc. with them).

[SuperDave]

I've seen quiet a few getting around Brisbane. Some are comp registered while others are road registered.

[Tats]

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....

[rodspringer]

Yeah there is at least one over here in WA

Not sure about the trans on them holds 10 litres at 100 dollars a litre trans fluid change every 3000 kms

Toyotas new Supra will be better

[Blind Kid Seeks]

i heard, then saw the tail lights of one screaming down Waverly Road in Melbourne near my house the other month.. couldnt tell you if it was registered or not....

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

[KaZe-]

yeah i saw one in melb a few months back and it had yellow nsw plates on was normal plates a silver one was fkn hot as... -_-"

[SuperDave]

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.

[JIN]

yeah..I saw black one coming from strathfield and silver one running on hill road near newington about a month ago...

There are so many rich people aye?

[JIN]

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

[00UCH]

I see them every where in QLD so im sure your aloud them in NSW.

[ELEGNT]

never seen one :(

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

[Northy]

never seen one :(

bloody hell bill how big is that rock your living under :P

Elegnt get your ***** out to QR then,

[trdsaads]

Ive seen a black one going around Perth (not the one Fabcar use for motorsport). Its got W.A. rego/plates on it too.

[wil_rolla]

yeah kamikaze motors in melb were one of the first work shops that could complience the R35, and from what i can remember that was around september last year... i'm still yet to se one on the road <_< ..

[Guni]

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:

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