It's Gonna Be A Blue 2007

[Appealing]

If that is a flip-out TV/Nav thingy then its not the factory one. I have the factory option which is made by Xanavi (they do the tv/navigation systems for all nissans - including current models).

Either way if its a japanese system then the TV will likely only accept ntsc inputs (if it does PAL as well then you have no probs). Others on this forum have managed to connect up a portable digital tv tuner that outputs to ntsc via a connection on the front of the tv unit....maybe you can do something like that?

As far as navigation goes, that will depend on the system used by your unit. The factory Xanavi ones dont work here since the company has no plans to (a) convert them to english and (b) provide australian maps...so thats pretty much a showstopper. I believe some people have removed the internals of the unit and wired in an aussie portable satnav unit to work with the factory screen (including toughscreen capability)...but I dont know how far they got with this...

Good luck with the car - it looks VERY VERY NICE!!!!

Makes me REALLY want a dolphin bodykit (i believe thats the one yours has).

Hey Steve thanks for that info. I am going on the auction sheet. Most of the options were listed as factory options. They may not be, true. However I know that some cars come out of factories with anything but standard equipment. If you are a Nissan exec, or "in the club" so to speak you can order anything. In the car industry they are known as IPO's (internal production orders), esentially you can order anything as an option. I guess I'll know more (maybe) when the car arrives. The car is listed as having the "aero pakage" which is why I think that the mirrors might be factory. But maybe not. The Prime edition is the most optioned anyway, so it makes sense that special orders might be put on this, like the paint.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I am sure that I am going to enjoy it for a long time.

I'll let you know how I go with the nav etc.

Nice colour blue, LOVE that :PBJ: ..have to say though i really dont get the woodgrain only on some bits of the steering wheel Why do they only come with that little bit and not a full wheel of woodgrain? ...apart from that nice car...good job would have set you back a bit and with compliance do you have to get standard mirrors and stuff???

CAnt wait to see it here in WA...can you take me for a drive when it gets here???

Hey Kristie... I worked out the wood grain thing...... sometimes it's nice just to enough without having too much . Which I guess is why women have two boobs and other animals (cops for instance) have up to 16 Teats.....

Can't imagine what the world would be like if women were like this!!! Probably overdone!!!! like my steering wheel with more woodgrain. HAha

thats awesome. Respect.

[Appealing]

Nice car, well done

The mirrors are actually made by Ganador, not a factory option

They are a little bit smaller in the mirror size, but are still electric.

I had a set on my R33 and have just bought a set for my Stagea.

So Darren what did the mirrors set you back and where did you get them?

Just in case I ever need a replacement, (hope not)

Haven't I seen that car before?

Nice Car boss

They start at approx $500 delivered from Japan

Plus painting

Yeah I know you can get the cars resprayed. But honestly, would you buy a resprayed car from Japan? I sure woudn't. For a start you don't know whats under it, and it kills the resale value. Only reason I chose this one is cos it's factory. Suposedly so is the aero package, it is listed in the brochures, but I don't really know what it consisted of. Roll on January. We got the missing blind today in Japan for $100. So now it isn't missing anything..... (I hope)!

OK for those that keep asking,......

We paid 1,200,000 at auction in Japan, that converts to A$13250.00

By the time it's here with freight, compliance, import duties, lic, stamp duty etc, I am expecting it'll be about $24,000, on the road.

I only wanted to spend $20,000 but how could I resist it!!!
