Fellas, you can get it in Oz for 85K, for racing purposes only.
The WA GT-R cost 80K to bring to Perth, race use only.

Seems like Oz drag racing rules may need to be modified prety soon. 10.99, pwehh, easy for this beast.
Oh well, it won’t be long till they start doing 10’s, wonder where they’ll race them on Friday night drags. Can’t really see too many amateur racers with mild modded GT-R’s fitting their GT-R’s with roll-bars.

And HKS, Mines, Blitz, Top Secret, Jun and the like have had R35’s since at least January for the Tokyo Auto Salon. It won’t be long before these cars are destroying everything in their path, long live Godzilla!

yes, grey imports already starts about 100K, but by later this year that should completely be abolished.

If you have the 100K, might as well.

BUT, you might be risking warranty or some services since its not an official Oz release, and will be treated like your usual import.

Considering it’ll be about 140K AUD, you save a bunch…. HUGE amounts actually… remember 100K is landed and shipped here.

And yes wait til HKS, Blitz etc tuners get their hands on it, should be super car eater….

B.M. – the reaction time doesn’t make any difference to the E.T. The clock only starts when you break the light beam. Its quite impressive to see the car go in the flesh, very surprising!

Would have got a better time if he watched the lights….wonder how slow his reaction time was? Brilliant time still though.

Absolutely love the GTR. Smack on some lightweight aftermarket rims (in black of course) and a full titanium exhaust system….wicked.

its interesting that the tunned GT-R does 11.6 , to put that into perspective there is a hefner twin turbo lambo gallardo that does 10.7.

when you compare the price you start to appreciate the GT-R so much more, this car will be the last great petrol powered car i dont see any one dethroning it apart from toyota building a crazy supra but i cant see it being as good allround.

The Lancer in the video is a different car to the one in the video

$102K isn’t so bad when you think that the HR34 was about that price 7 or so years ago. Nothing really unusual there.

Love how it nailed the Evo. Though, I think they are two totally different classes. I’ve never put the Evo/WRX in the same class as the monster knows as the GTR.
