Heard somewhere that the G37 will only come in around about Dec 12 or Jan 13. Initial launch will be for the FX SUV.

Once the G37 comes in, based on my understanding, we can no longer import cars "manufactured" in Japan after that date (i.e Dec 12). Still gives us a good 3 years worth of imported supply once the 2012 Japanese models become due for their shaken in 2015 and come on the auction market. :D

I'm expecting the value of our cars to increase by anywhere from 20-50%. This is why I'm rebadging mine as an Infiniti. :)

Value won't increase if your car has 200K on the clock, the older it gets the more money you will lose. Unless it's something like a 65 Mustang..

I'm comparing apples with apples mate. Cars do depreciate however when these vehicles come over here and the base value is raise significantly and if the scarcity still exists, then we have the opportunity to make some mooolah! I've taken a look at the forecasts and feasibility of this, should work well...

I do agree with you though, you would think these cars will appreciate slightly since we won't be able to get them anymore.

Doubt the existing models will appreciate in value much.. if you can still import a 2012 370gt coupe for $40k-$50k in a year or so time, people aren't going to pay $60k-$70k for one locally when they can import their own much cheaper.. with the exception of a few people with more money than brains..

I was talking more about the V35s. Avg value C$20k (to keep it in round numbers). Once the 370GTs are released here for an absolute mint, people would be more accepting to pay towards $25k-$30k for the V35. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you will definitely experience a 100-200% boost in value - that's just stupid... However, an extra 20-50% - very likely.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
