Nissan's final Australian-bound GT-Rs have arrived

The end of the road for the Nissan GT-R in Australia is coming up fast – with 48 units just spotted at the Port of Brisbane, set for distribution across the country.

After the GT-R was confirmed to be killed off by the end of this month due to the introduction of the new Australian Design Rules 85 regulation (ADR 85), the local arm of the Japanese manufacturer said it would import the new T-Spec and NISMO SV limited editions to end Godzilla's lifecycle.

Thanks to enthusiast page GTR-Registry, photos have been submitted of what is expected to be the GT-R's final shipment into Australia, with just under 50 cars arriving in Brisbane.

According to the Facebook post, 10 vehicles will be sent to Sydney, 30 to Melbourne and eight will remain in the Sunshine State – although a breakdown on which specs and colour would end up where was not provided.

Nissan Australia had previously told MOTOR it expected roughly 50 T-Spec vehicles would be arriving this month ahead of the October 31 cut-off date to comply with ADR 85, with Australian buyers luckily not having to sacrifice any features available on Japanese-spec models.

With the launch of the T-Spec and NISMO SV, the limited edition variants were released at a hefty premium over the existing GT-R range, retailing for $256,700 and $393,800 respectively before on-road costs.
