Except that none of us can find one for anything less than an *additional* $US25,000. And the Australian price is absurd... what kind of certification process does the Australian Government require? Could that have raised Nissan's costs to this degree? -Jeff www.EvoXenthusiast.com At only $US69,850 it’s the bargain of the century here in the states.

They originally brought in 1000 of them and struggled to sell even that few, it was just too expensive for a Nissan, so they stopped importing them. Luckily the new one has price on its side. I have heard from a mate that JustJap (www.justjap.com) has a R35 GTR set to land in Australia by Jan 15th. Its been ordered by Donut King and is slated for track car use only. Apparently Nissan dealers have already been sent a memo about the import. John, Nissan didn’t miss anything when they stopped importing the R32.

The new model looks hot...

Its alot of money for someone to spend on a track car - especially before they have done anything to it - ie cage, harness, suspension work!
