It definitely deserves an LSX454R for wheelstands down our beautiful beaches mate! Chop the top off, add roll bars with bimini sun shade for some real magnet action, what a beast [emoji106][emoji106]

They've never been a factory or even grey import so would need an assessment I would think, also, insurance might be an issue as they will take parts into consideration IE even a small bingle may be a writeoff.
But I was more referring specifically to the OP rig (which looks quite heavily mod'd) if he was to bring it over
Happy to be wrong however
Can understand your point about parts being an insurance issue. Roof/floor pan damage would be the breaker thinking about it. All moving bits would be same I'd reckon?
Just wondering why they weren't factory available in the first place. Reckon it was probably a Nissan sales volume decision rather than ADR compliance issues.
Yeah, probably right.
ADR has weird flow on effects tho IE the rear lights that don't work on Aussie Spec vehicles from 1994 (or was it 1992).
Rather than redesign/engineer the Aussie versions to have them comply to ADR (problem was the visible arc compliance due to the spare) they omitted the innards and made them non-functional and placed them in the bar.
In essence that means it can be argued that if you now 'activate' the rear lights by using overseas spec lights or drilling out and fitting holders etc your vehicle is no longer ADR compliant.
It is a different argument to 'adding lights to comply' as is needed on some imports.
In the Patrol example one is adding lights that do not comply... and they can't be treated as repeaters either. Repeaters ah la mine spec etc have their own set of ADRs
Hence the need for assessment IE does the OP shorty (being Euro spec) have ADR compliant tail lamps?
I have seen pics of GR Patrols out of Europe both with and without lights in the bar.
Maybe it does, I dunno... I still love the look of the GU shorty tho
There’s two UK GU shorties over Lilydale way, will see if can remember to stop one oneday to ask what they had to go through.

Nah sorry, mislead ya. They’ve got Vic plates and been here for at least 5 years I know of the Burgundy coloured one seen more regularly.
