Perhaps Nissan is doing this from a top-level decision level. Too many scams on warranty claims when what owners actually did to their R32,33,34 was mod the engine and parts to death.
I believe Nissan is headed the way of european cars, with a European at the helm of the co. And how many M3s, 911's, RS4s have you seen with DEFI meters and turbo timers?
But few of us readers seemed to realize the fact that Nissan is probably one of the first manufacturers who endorse their cars on track, without voiding the warranty. It's true this is also a money-making exercise, but I'm sure Nissan does not want it's flagship supercars falling apart on track due to poor maintenance. Definately not good for image.
Off topic a little. The only other manufacturer which endorses track activities in M'sia is probably Proton R3 when they held several events for owners in Sepang. And they didn't even charge us 20sen for any mandatory pre-inspection or the tutoring given to owners.
As for Malaysia I'm sad to say that most of our grey imports are from Japan and we will ultimately get the dreaded JDM spec R35. There are some importers which bring in cars from UK but you have to remember, those cars already have a multiple margin mark-up from the many channels they have passed through and you'll be paying for double shipping (i.e, from Japan to UK, UK to M'sia). So we can pretty much scrap that dream.
Our only hope is that Tan Chong brings in several speed de-limited units but don't expect the price to be cheap (remember the 350Z). Which begs the question if a Japanese sports car costs as much as it's German and Italian counterparts via grey imports, wouldn't most go for the latter?
P.S. Instead what I'd rather do is get a stock standard Putra and TAPAU any R35 I see on the highway at 220km/h
