Been browsing the for sale sites for a while now, and seriously don't think there is a car with a bigger spread in price for essentially the exact same car as there is for the V36 Coupe

Yeah i know there are some changes from an 07 to a 2012 model, and yes there are different variants, but they are largely the same car.

There are SP coupes for sale in the mid to late 20s, and then you get dealers who may been dropped at birth, with adds like this.

Basically asking the same money as an Aus Delivered Infiniti Coupe can be had for, but you get the honour of having a car with double the k's and features that don't work.

Is anyone seriously buying an imported V36 Coupe for over 40k?

Anyway, mini rant over, just annoyed at having my phone alert me there's a new coupe for sale, and then i see $44k! :no:

When I bought my 2009 SP model back in the end of 2011, with 22,000km in 5A condition, I paid $55k on road. Mind you, I imported it from Japan through an agent as going through a dealership would be more expensive and more risky.

Definitely cheaper than buying the local product at that age with that mileage.

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
