Spotted HESLO in front of my house...

I think I speak for everyone reading when I say having a photo of your own car at Nismo Omori officially trumps everything else in this thread!

Well we don't get anything in 4WD apart from the stuff that comes from the US in the import world, that's the main reason I'm getting one. But the margins on US cars are huge here still, a bit like it was with Japanese imports about 15 years ago, when Soarers were $60K...

lol seriously you guys are a pack of whingers. The 86 is the best thing to happen to the market in about ten years.

lol I SAW THAT

Oh you guys are so unkind...I'll leave this here and let you all guess then...

^^Agreed. Once compliance prices are sorted I'm suspecting around the $70K mark landed and complied for a low mileage 2009 model - not bad seeing they retail here for six figures.

Can I play this game?

lol so harsh...

lol

Yep, these replaced the Vectra, and Holden opted for the Epica instead... That would be correct based on those prices in the UK. Let me know if you're keen. The problem was, in terms of price, they would've been more expensive than the Commodore, so Holden execs presumed no-one would look at them. The market has changed a fair bit though, and big cars are now on the nose.

As always, ride height is the key with fitting bigger rims. I was going to go the lift kit option, but then I realised my kids probably wouldn't be able to get in! I'll be buying my own rims once it's through compliance, as I need stockies for compliance (and future defects lol).

lol yes I do - at $1000 a time My customers pay my suppliers direct for all the rest of it. Yes they're pimp, especially with 24s on...this one is close, just needs a drop...

I probably didn't reply because I'm still waiting on the buyer of the JZX110 to stump up the cash so I can go get the damned Tundra lol And yes, I'm slow...

Touch wood, I've never been sued (successfully or otherwise), but a lawyer mate has always told me that the people who carry on and threaten to sue are generally the ones who don't follow it through...

Email me broseph and I'll check the figures.

Haven't seen any sunroof models Matt, autos are out there, but oddly enough, the manuals are more common.

Ok I've got a workshop keen to take on a test car, so let me know if you're interested. Expect a price tag around $40K for a 2-3 year old car with 30-40,000km on it. The good stuff: 2.8 litre turbo V6, 239kW and 435Nm 6 speed manual or 6 speed tiptronic auto Adaptive AWD with electronic rear diff HiPer Strut suspension FlexRide adjustable suspension with three settings Brembo brakes Leather Recaro interior Available in sedan, hatch and wagon.

PN-Mad I'm thinking your other post might be a good slogan for a t-shirt...

lol Rowan you clearly haven't checked the prices of NSXs in Japan...

No they don't - as part of Nissan's official turning ghey process, they dropped the 450GT and released a 370GT Hybrid. They run 2.5 or 3.7 VQ motors, same as the V36. If you wanted the current shape, I doubt you'd see change out of $50K, that's without looking too closely at values though. See above regarding the M45, although the Fuga gets the VK56 in the US so fingers crossed we get it too. No V8 on the Japanese market means problems for importing them. Edit: Just checked Infiniti UK - no V8 being sold there either, so they may not have engineered the VK56 for RHD markets, which would explain why they're not on the list to be sold here in the short term. When I listed the original Fuga on SEVS, it didn't make financial sense at the time, but it makes VERY good sense now. If Infiniti bring out the M here officially, it will also make good sense if they can be imported for half the price Infiniti are charging Maybe a little less - think BMW 5 series prices. They will be eligible up until they're sold here locally. Same with the G series - the V36 Skylines will be eligible until the Infiniti G is released, bringing a very long era to an end for Skyline imports. See above. ^^^Completely correct. Australia is an irrelevance in most cases for Nissan Japan. Our ADRs are a real pain in the arse, which is the reason why manufacturers have been pushing so hard for us to align our rules to Europe. Making a unique spec for such a small market is a right pain in the arse for manufacturers.

Crown sedan and wagon will have plates very soon, there are two test cars here (only 1JZ-GTE versions though, no V8s). To the best of my knowledge no-one has done a Fuga yet, but if someone wants to be a trailblazer, I'm happy to find a nice 450GT

ROFL you shit

DON'T TRUST HIM!! THAT MAN FATHERED ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN!!
