Matt H Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 With the 10 year rule, could you get a new GTR into the country and on the road? ive heard a few stories about Nissan saying you shouldnt do it etc? Whats the price they are going for in Japan? Ive heard that the RRP on the UK spec would be 55k? Whens the UK release? Do you think the UK will get extra toys much like the UK spec supras did? Finally, would you import, or wait for the UK model. considering price on the road for both UK and JAP, plus possible problems / issues you may be lumbered with having a brand new JAP car with no warranty or anyone to fix it / service it? and breath.........

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 i have some interesting facts about the new GTR... when i have time i will post but you will never get it on uk road for 52k..(that might be the base model there is 3 versions) and you will have to wait a long time... if you want it now its costs money they are going for over 10.2 mill at auctions in jpan..(i have bought one)... and Nissan have rules that effect the EEA (basically you cant import NEW gtr into uk prior to their official uk realese).. i have a nasty email from nissan and will post later..due to us buying one i have recieved it and i belive the first UK registered company to buy the new GTR in japan hence the nasty email i got...(but i knew it was coming).. i will post more specifics later.. and my full GTR spec guides etc etc. and what we can import and what we cant..

Thorin Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 (that might be the base model there is 3 versions) What's the differences between the different models Jurgen? I can't wait for the inevitable Nismo versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 The whole not having a warranty thing could be a problem though. I always worry about trick new things breaking once they're out in the field, as with all new cars there will be teething troubles I expect...and they'll have to be paid for by yourself.

Matt H Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 umm, sounds a big dodgy then, 09 release is pants, why are they making us wait that long Jurgen, Looking forward to your further info on the specs etc Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 09 release is pants, why are they making us wait that long Because we live on a sh*tty little island which is becoming sh*ttier by day where we get to wait the longest and pay the most for everything.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 there is a way round it but you cant import a NEW GTR in the EU before 09 release or nissan will sue. They'll sue a private individual for importing a car, legally? On what grounds? I'd like to see them make that stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
