ImportJap.com is no longer avail­able at http://www.importjap.com/blog, instead we’ve moved to just http://www.importjap.com, and removed the old forum. Please update your book­marks, and don’t worry, old links will still work fine.

We’ve also got a brand new design com­ing shortly and a few long awaited suprises!

We’ve been con­tin­u­ously hacked, and in a turn of bad luck com­pletely removed from Google for hav­ing spam inserted yes­ter­day before any of us could remove it and fix it. 8 hours grace since inser­tion, and with no warn­ing of removal is a harsh call, Google, very harsh. How a major search engine can pun­ish us with­out warn­ing, due to the actions of mali­cious web users is unbe­liev­able, hardly fair and not war­ranted, but these are the breaks.

In light of this, we are mov­ing from Word­Press to Dru­pal, throw­ing up a new theme and get­ting a good makeover. The update will take a few weeks to do, but we’ll be back. If there’s any­thing your par­tic­u­larly want to see on the site, feel free to send us a suggestion!

In the mean­time we’ll con­tinue to post if we’re able.

To all loyal and new vis­i­tors, thankyou for your con­tin­ued patronage!

Accord­ing to Pres­tige Motor­sport, the new R35 GT-​​R can now be imported legally under SEVS!

How­ever, com­pli­ance is as far as 12 months away (2009), and prices are expected to exceed AU$100,000 for the new Nis­san super­car. Regard­less, this is a big fist in the eye of Nis­san Aus­tralia, as enthu­si­asts will now be able to grab the new car directly from the JDM with­out Nis­san Australia’s interference!
