2.5 models will be able to be landed for the same price as v35 sedans low 20's it will be more expensive for the 3.5 6 speed manuals as alex says probably between 30 to 40k

it would make a great family cruiser me thinks my grandparents are looking at one

have a go at the camber on those rear wheels... drift camber. a 5k launch would leave to blck mark for 30m - but each one would be about 2 inches wide... and youd be seein more canvas than a circus tent.

I am looking at M35's now but the manual ones will end up costing more around the 40-50 mark compared to a 260rs being 30-40 (on road for both)

M35 is definatly hotter and id get free compliance here in Melbourne, but still...

My mate might bring in a Legnum and cop free compliance too from a workshop ive spoken to.

i seond cruiseliner to go for a 260rs anyday over the m35. You have to remember M35 is a NA engine same engine that the Z uses. 3.5ltr drinks a bit as well. And theres not much mod you can do to a M35 other than the nismo tunes one. Apprently theres M35 in Oz already in carsales or carpoint. I saw it when i was searching for a 260rs. From memory its a gold color one selling at 50k.

Yes it does come out in a single turbo VQ25DET with a 6sp manual trans, mmMMmmMMmmMMmmm not bad!

I wonder if AUTech are going to make a 260/M35 version....? With all the bits bolting on to the M35 that bolt onto a 300ZX I doubt it would be hard to whack another turbo on and put a tough drivetrain in.....

So the only way to get one of these into the country at the moment is through a private import right?

Or has someone got a low volume licence for them?

Considering that one in NZ is only about $13000 AUD you must be able to get a manual 2.5T for under 20K So landed that would be about $25K right???

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
