Yep I've got one. I bought mine from a dealer local to me in sydney.

Unfortunately with the exchange rate being what it is many importers are holding off importing more of these for the time being.

I'll sell you my one if you're interested :cool:

LOL nah it'll take me awhile to get what I'm after. All the ones I've seen imported have been silver. I'm after a red manual with the Premium Package. A fella I spoke to up your way said to wait till round mid year and the exchange rate may be a bit more favorable. But if the right car turns up in the mean time $69K isn't to bad for one.

I'm glad I bought when I did, I didn't pay anywhere near that and still wouldn't knowing what they roughly were imported for, any dealer saying their current imported stock is that price due to the exchange rate is spouting b/s. Maybe $65K+ is understandable if they did bring one in after say october 2008 but most of them have held off bringing in any more due to the exchange rate, not cost effective for them

although... I do miss manual, the auto in the v36 is probably one of the best I've seen, but it's not the same as a gear shifter

in all aspects they are a fantastic car for the price with the latest tech, and acceptable power in stock form. makes the R series look and feel even more dated than they already are and are a big step forward from the v35, I tried out a v35 back when I opted to buy 350z instead, the v35 didn't feel or look right to me, whereas I think they got it right in the v36

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
