Why not?

Believe it or not the entire Nissan brand is not devoted to under 25's.

Personally i think its a brilliant move and actually like it. Die hard Skyline lovers will buy it.

what better car to buy when you need a second car for the Mrs, want to head down the coast for a holiday with the kids?

Why not?

The skyline "brand" has been focused on performance/sports cars in the past. Lesser so in the past few years, but the V's are still a luxury sports car or whatever category they fit in.

But the crossfire is a totally different category so I don't think it should be branded a Skyline. Surely they can think of a differnent name?

I'm a die hard skyline lover and wouldn't buy it. I have nothing against it, and think it looks ok, but just not my thing.

Fair enough,

But it does have the same 3.7 engine as the Skyline 370Gt and also the same interior.

With that engine you could easily say its a performance crossover :D.

But i do see your point.

Its listed on the SEVS list, but not confirmed as eligable at this stage. They're selling fro around 3.5m yen at dealers in Japan, so for something that would more than likely walk all over all its competition in pretty much most areas, I think its a bargain.

Just thought I would see if there is anyone out there looking to bring in the Skyline Crossover??

Cheers,

G'day Mark,

I'm interested but at this stage would not want to be a test car (wait 12 month).

Are you actually proposing anything? :)

Cheers

... I think its a bargain.

I did test drive of x1 the other day, reasonable performance model with all 'essential' features would set you back around $80-90K.. It still would not be nowhere near Crossover in terms of performance.. Interior feels cheaper in BMW as well.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
