Nissan GT-R lands in Australia
January 14, 2008 by Karl Peskett
Some people just can’t wait. And we can’t blame them. Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on the greatest car purported to come out of Japan? Seen here are exclusive pictures of the second GT-R to land in Australia.
The first, a white GT-R, landed a short time ago in Sydney, and is said to be the Targa Tasmania Donut King entry. This black one however arrived a few days ago, and is seen here at the Fremantle docks in Western Australia.
This R35 GT-R is said to belong to an importer of high quality Japanese performance cars. Car Advice has been told that the car will be used for promotional work, as well as entered into various Targa and race events.
While Nissan is sorting out compliance and various import issues, some people have gone ahead and imported their own for private use. This car has been shipped to Australia for that very reason, and we expect more will follow.

In Freo? no doubt some rich ass miner just bought himself a GTR to play with on the track during his rotational shift
It’s an Imported Car Retailer in Perth
I Called them up to find out the deal and they wanted $165K to bring one on.. then they came down to $150K.. Can the car even be registered here?
It can’t be registered here, thanks to Nissan Australia.
hey Karl, you can ask the importer for a test review for CA!!!!
Nah its the hot chicks with the transponders from 2005 Targa West that kept that sexy RX7 on the road for 4 days unlike the gay porsche driver!!
$150k. what did it cost the importer – any ideas?
My God it looks fantastic.
Hey fuzion.
What’s the importing company that you called up in Perth?
I wouldn’t mind calling them and maybe even going and seeing it!
I saw this car on Feb 6th on Graham farmer freeway for about 30 seconds in peak hour traffic, the licence plates were “Fab Cars”, which i am told on good authority is a car shop on Shepperton rd in Vic Park!! (the motor bike shop end)
