I was speaking to a friend who is considering flying over to Japan and driving one back. That’s quite a road trip!
The engine will definitely have ran in by the time it gets home then!

I think it looks fantastic. I wonder if it's possible to import one into the EU
I would be worried with registering a car without a type approval. That said, people are importing pickup trucks and similar cars without problems it seems.If it's anything like the S660 then you should be able to.
20% VAT, 10% import and you'll need to do the IVA paperwork. I imagine you'll be pushed into a mid £40k car by the end, which considering it's a rival to the Supra (which is £50k+) seems still a pretty good buy.
Nissan UK are not the sharpest tools in the box... when they launched the GTR in the UK they had no idea on the car at the time they are all about SUV'sLike it. Particularly the S30 homage details like the silver trims emulating the roof drip rails, rear quarter emblems and quarter glass profile, etc.
I foresee a healthy little niche for JDM imports of these! (and boo-hiss to the unimaginative losers at Nissan U.K./Europe and anyone else involved in the decision to not officially sell these here)
somebody will do one and you hire it for your car.... that's how I got my GTR in early 08I would be worried with registering a car without a type approval. That said, people are importing pickup trucks and similar cars without problems it seems.

Yep, that's what I had in mind when I made that remark! Their obvious one-dimensional thinking (UK market = SUV/cross-overs) is screamed out by every bland, forgettable Nissan forecourt in the country. With the exception of the GTR and the new Z, they produce nothing that even remotely appeals. They are a purveyor of Mumsie shopping trolleys. And other manufacturers do that better.Nissan UK are not the sharpest tools in the box... when they launched the GTR in the UK they had no idea on the car at the time they are all about SUV's
Importing even a new car from Japan shouldn't be too much of an issue as DVLA tend to use Japanese compliance with their own standards as being comparable with UK standards. As per the IVA guidance:somebody will do one and you hire it for your car.... that's how I got my GTR in early 08
So I wonder what VED bracket the new Z would fall into if one was to be imported. Can anyone speculate?
