Hi

I ordered a Cover King "Storm Proof" cover from USA a few days ago. Was $540 AUD including shipping. Suitable for outdoor use and has lock system. The other OEM didnt seem as good quality, wasnt many good reports on the UK forums. I'll let you know how the Cover King one fits once it arrives.

I tried Nissan today but the AU service/parts people dont seem to be able to help

Nissan parts service here seems to be poor. Here is a link to an OEM one I have seen advertised. I was considering a cheap off the self repco/ebay type but most of the sizes weren't really suitable or oversized/undersized

thanks guys. Dunno if i can bring myself to pay $800 for a car cover :merli:

I see a number of online vendors selling them for about US$300 (genuine)

The problem is finding one who will ship them to australia for a decent shipping price.

my advice, get one from covercraft. they make amazing car covers and you can discuss with them exactly what the cover is for (ie indoor? outdoor? uv protection, dent protection etc). and they fit very nicely.

thanks for the tips Guys. I did end up buying a genuine one from a US vendor for $298US + $65US shipping. I didnt need a storm proof one, it's indoors only. The reason i needed one: there was a violent car jacking in my suburb last week (involving a gun and shots fired apparently!) and as i live on a busy road near where it happened, i would rather the car be out of sight when my family is otherwise opening and closing the gargage door.

in terms of paint, car covers do more damage than good in an indoor environment - if you want to keep people from seeing what the car is exactly, that's another story. But if you just want to stop dust getting on it in the garage, etc... you're better off with no cover, because it will scratch the car. You're not putting the cover on ONLY after you've washed the car are you...

The No 1 rule of Car Covers.ONLY AFTER WASHING AND DRYING fit the cover.

they do, but even inside a garage to prevent dust, you're better off without it. If it's a security thing, then that's different. Although having a black cover with a gtr logo on it, not very subtle :devil:

True, but it's just a ltitle logo on the front though isnt it? That's not going to be visible (with car parked in forwards). Plus i think anyone that close to the car (to make out that logo) and looking for something to steal is going to work it out regardless. I'm just trying to hide this from the casual driver by.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
