Hi,

I am looking a getting a 2008+ Skyline 370GT 4 door (gun metal grey, typeSP preferably). I have been to many importers who have apparantly not found any to import at the moment. Anyone know of any auctions sites, dealerships (in any state), or anyone else that may be selling 1?

Regards,

Damien

Your best chance would be to sign up with one of the importers and tell them what you want. They can keep an eye on the auctions in Japan for you and let you know when something comes up.

I agree with Sonic. It will be an exercise in patience but it will also be well worth it. When I signed on with Prestige Motorsports in April 2011, it wasn't until November 2011 that we landed the car that met all my criteria. It had to be a 2009 SP coupe model or newer, pearl white exterior, black interior, no sunroof, colour-coded rear wing that spanned the width of the boot lid, less than 25000kms and grade 5A.

Geoff was absolutely upfront about it and told me that it would probably take a long while to find the right one and he was right but it was really worth the wait. The only thing I did exercise a little flexibility on was the interior trim, which I originally planned to be silver but instead went for woodgrain and it actually looks quite nice. It just needs a little contact adhesive as the door's laminates have come unstuck for whatever reason. I'll be working on it when the door trims come off for the speakers.

Agreed. And my guess is Infiniti Aust. are waiting for the V37 to be released, rather than importing the V36, and upsetting the buyers with a new model after a few months.

I bought my V36 350GT Type SP unregistered from NSW,mine has the intelligent cruise control,side mirrors indicators and front bumper cameras,

I went to a private workshop and licensing was really easy hehe.Passed with HID headlights,no child restraint (lol) and 245/35/19 93Y tires when

the placard says 225/50/18 96W front and 245/45/18 96W.They sell V36's but 350GT only,I don't know if it'll help you but here.

I have heard rumors of a G sedan in mid 2013.. probably just rumors at this stage though..

Prices for the M are approx $94,000 - $110,000. depnding on spec and colour.

Is the M37 based off of a V37 (which doesn't exist yet)? Or are they confusing people like in America with the G37 being a V36 chassis? And if it is a V36.. we won't be allowed to import them anymore?

The Infiniti M37 is a Nissan Fuga. The Infiniti G37 is currently a Skyline V36 and soon V37.

Read above about the importing. We've already discussed how SEVS operate when it comes to importing vehicles.

Thanks guys. I'm aware it's hard to get what I am after, especially in the gunmetal gray. Geoff from Prestige Motorsports is looking for me (hopefully still is) plus i got in contact with a few other places as well, which actually havn't been in contact with me again (yet anyway).

I may have to wait untill Inifinti bring the next model out in australia, bite the bullet and spent the extra cash on it.

thanks all for the info

Geoff will be still looking for you, don't worry, that guy is a legend :) listen to him and take his advice. He has imported for a lot of us here on the forum and has done a wonderful job finding good valued cars for us and not to mention save us heaps of cash.

There will be more V36 370GT next year or year after. At the moment because it is less than 5 years old in Japan, the tax is on the car is still low and people are not selling these cars as yet. When it goes over 5 years, tax goes nut, more will be on the market. Be patient :) or just get a V36 350GT...there is not much different with both other than the 5 spd and 7 spd gearbox and the extra power which most came to the conclusion that it evens out with the 7 spd gearbox being so much heavier.

Good luck in your search :)

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
