Hi guys,

Its time for me to get a family sized car as my 2nd car in Tokyo. Ideally I would love to get a Porsche Cayenne GTS but I need comfort in knowing I can sell it in Aus. The only other vehicle that comes even close (and it isnt anywhere close) would be the Skyline Crossover. I also considered the Infinity FX50 but they are all LHD here.

I dont think the Crossovers are imported that much into Aus but could be wrong. Anyone seen them for sale and can let me know at what price or links? Assuming I get one and send it back to Aus, would there be a strong interest in them as a personal import?

Your comments are appreciated.

Thanks.

Get a Porsche Cayenne as there is no trouble selling cars like that especially with the amount of high end Euro cars coming out of the UK.

I just pitted a 2008 997 and before it was even registered I had guys I know hitting me up to see if the owner wanted to sell.

At least the Cayenne doesn't look like a Hyundai.

Beat me to it Chris. Fabcar have them but they aint that cheap.....The one on their site is $129,000 but they had another one when I was in there last week that was around $150,000 from memory. They have been imported from England so they also have the full english system, which is an obvious advantage over the Japanese imports.

I have never seen one on the road over here though which is a good thing in my book but obviously no good for resale as noone will know what it is. There are plenty of Porsche Cayenne's over here so that would be an advantage for resale.

Thanks for the comments. I couldn't find any on the Fabcar website for 129k but saw one for 69k. That is also showing a Japanese. I am actually considering the crossover not FX but still, I can't see anyone buying one of those for 129 or 150!

You're thinking of the FX, OP is talking about the EX which, as a Skyline Crossover, would a good deal cheaper, but still not cheap. I'd be curious to know what Fabcar think the compliance is worth...

Alkatraz.. Why the mean post man?? Your post implies that west Australian workshops charge too much money to do the same thing someone else will do for half the cost.

What gives???

That's slander man.

I bet that the next thing you're gonna say is how they whinge n moan all day about how people that work over east aren't as good as the ground they walk on and that 6k is not a just cost!!!

You're so mean.

Correct on point A. Everyone in Western Australia charges too much money for everything. PERIOD.

I dont follow what you're saying on point B.

wut has this car got that a murano doesnt ?

pls enlighten me

Dont know what the difference is but I am sure they are similar. I looked at both and they are terrible to be honest. Cheap and nasty, reminding me of why I liked the Porsche. I still want to look at the built of an infinity FX in person and hope its close to the GTR but doubt it will be. They are all also quite smaller inside and out and dont have the presence of a Cayenne on the road.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
