Shameless self-promotion, but this is about as good as it gets for a V36 SP sedan...

I can even get you the export certificate and auction sheet to verify the kms :)

Lol dude he is an importer that sends anywhere in Australia. The current car listed is in Japan but would be delivered to you. Kristian has a contacts with compliance shops in Sydney among other places.

No pressure and you don't have to, just saying if you have the patience and will, I would import. Even if you don't consider Iron Chef.

FYI I am in Brisbane and got Kristian to Import for me.

Kristian I can't take money off you as you would pay me in Euro's... limited to be spent in Greece.... :whistling:

Crap.. that LInk from chef is for SP model..

so they don't really hold their value considering Nissan will be selling the same thing for a LOT more than 25K come end of the year.

I dont think Infiniti will be selling the V36, only the M version.

I have a 4 dr. Bought it from IMG in Lidcombe. Was in near new condition. Doesn't seem too many 3.7L with 7spd around??

^^^ The Skyline and the Infiniti G are the same car. The Infiniti M is the Fuga.

There are very few 3.7 litre sedans around, last I checked there was only one workshop in Australia doing them, and they weren't selling compliance jobs to brokers.

Kushil, we just happened to pick this one up super cheap - normally this sort of car would be $26K-ish.

Skyline168, I have customers all over Oz and all over the world - if you bought it, it would come directly to you, not via Adelaide.

Being a 350GT sedan would also be a big factor in the low price. The sedans just don't hold their value as well as the coupé's. 08 coupé's seem to go for the same price as 2010 sedans (give or take). The good thing being that you probably wouldn't expect them to be nose diving in price any time soon. Most of the price drop would have already occurred.

Either way, $23,000 for the quality of that car is a good deal. You could go out and buy one of the 150+ 2007 Commodores on carsales, for the same money, but it would have double or triple the km on it and you would stand out like hay in a hay stack!

Didn't you just say that you looked at ones locally and they were shonky? Yet you're not prepared to consider a genuine low-km example with auction sheet and export certificate from Japan because you can't see it?

The reason it's cheap is because it's in Japan! A dealer here is going to add their margin and sell it for $30K, that's how it works.

any chance of filling the boot with K11 parts before it leaves Japan? :P

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
