Hi Guys,

Have seen a Skyline Crossover (the SUV variant of the Skyline) and am interested in knowing a little more about matters relating to importing these, namely;

* Can they be imported (my understanding is that they can be)?

* Are there any models which can or cannot (i.e exceptions to the rule)?

* Given they started selling in Japan in late 09, I imagine that the prices are still quite high (app 4.5M new for the 370 GT FOUR I believe, so probably still circa 3.6M FOB).

cant be imported at this stage and unlikely will be for a while yet (years)

They can come in under SEVS but time frame to when the car will be on the road is unknown as it takes a lot more for emissions of newer vehicles like these.

I kinda like them but they're a bit like a BMW X6 - try to be all things to everyone, and end up not really succeeding at anything. I'd take an FX50 over one any day.

I'm at a loss to replace our Territory with anything imported with decent boot space - I'm seriously considering a Toyota Tundra at the moment...

find one in a wagon and make sure the guy that flips it does a decent job. the V8 you will like!!

Happy wife = happy life Phil, you should know that already ;)

Chris, the wagon is the Sequoia, and I'm still not sure if it can come through under the Tundra SEVS approval, still digging...

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
