Update:

MY14 landing in stock this week, should be on showroom floor this weekend. Best service and price so far from Col Crawford. They have one in the specs i am after (White, Black Interior - not too fussed about premium leather interior any more for this sort of car though it is nice) arriving this weekend. I will head up there to check it out this weekend. I will see what the interstate people can do in the mean time as well. If they come in considerably cheaper than local it will be worth it to trasport the car down. Might end up buying it new since there is nothing really appealing 2nd hand going around as well besides a plethora of 2009 models (must be many owners upgrading after the end of their 5 year leases!)

put a deposit on the MY12 above. Car presented immaculately in showroom condition. Actually it was in even better condition than the one i saw in the showroom @ Macarthur Nissan. Very fussy owner, very impressed with the car, picking it up Friday. Saving over $50k on the purchase of a new one.

ive been checking carsales every day, a few times a day for the past 2 months. i had checked carsales in the morning but a mate actually called me to let me know that the white one had been posted in the middle of the day.

i am fair person and i made a reasonable serious offer to buy the car.

timing couldnt of been better as i was prepared to go and get a MY14 new but seriously not much difference to warrant the extra cost between the MY12/MY14

Owner must be happy, listed the car 2hrs later sold. lol

130K for a low klm MY12 is a good buy. Congrats. There's been nothing decent on carsales for months. According to Motor Magazine R35 sales have really bottomed out. Seems it's very hard to find a good 2nd hand one these days, there's hardly any for sale.

You are not wrong in saying there is no stock.... very small amounts are bought into the country and many are already spoken for before they get here. Stock on carsales at the highest point has been 27 available, lowest point was just last week with 20 available, now it was back up to 22....

i think you will find alot of guys with 5 year leases will now start to sell their 09's and look at upgrading to the latest model or a new car entirely. There are many 09's available right now and not much else!

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
