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.

Isn't the Skyline Crossover what they call a Dualis here in Aus?

google Qashqai

that is the dualis. the crossover is a differnt critter.

Ok Chris, I will go out of my way to take a photo just for you.................... Have you become some keyboard warrior now demanding proof off me.

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...

You have a Territory ? Ha ha ha ha ...... i thought you where smarter than that.

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...

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
