"It's Auto" hahah you made my day ! . Is the manual version a more better car in general in terms of less problems? Also, I'm planning on using this car as my daily driver and will be spending on avg 2 - 2.5 hrs, 4 to 5 times a week driving to work.

The Max Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I have a 2009 model. Bought it with 22,000km on the clock. After five years since I imported it, it's only up to 50,000km but rest assured, in that 28,000km, I have thrashed the balls off of it.All I can say is that the auto has put up with my abuse and keeps loving me back. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470288-nissan-skyline-370gt-type-s-ckv36-auto/#findComment-7827437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it is better to get it imported than from a dealer or private seller. If so can you tell me where I can import them over?

The Max Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I went through Prestige Motorsport. Extremely patient, hugely resourceful, very helpful all 'round. Took nearly seven months before I found the vehicle that met my specifications.It's always better to import because you're more likely to get the real story about the vehicle's history than you would from a dealer or private seller here. A good import agent, like Prestige, will guide you through the entire process. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470288-nissan-skyline-370gt-type-s-ckv36-auto/#findComment-7827457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is everything included in the price tag or there's extra costs?

The Max Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 From purchase to on-road took just over two months, from memory.The import agent helps you with the process. He doesn't handle the money on your behalf. So you are the one making payments as you go along - starting with the car + the Japanese buyer's fee, the shipping + taxes + duties, the compliance + tyres and finally the blue slip + rego.Go to their website. They explain the process very clearly.

Also one more thing, I thought the only way to import a car from japan is that you needed to have own the car or lived in japan for a year, is that true?

The Max Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 No. That's for bringing in a personal vehicle which is also sold in Australia and therefore, ordinarily be restricted from parallel importing.

JMZ08 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 If it helps... I have put 23,000kms on my car in about 14months. Touch wood - it's been reliable as anything. Great daily drivers, super comfy to drive and sticking the boot in will always bring a smile.

acesofspades31 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Nissan Skyline 370GT Type S CKV36 Auto Hey guys, can someone list me the pros and cons of the Nissan Skyline 370GT Type S CKV36 Auto and how reliable is this car ? Thanks in advance.I have the type sp and I use it for my everyday car. I drive around 75kms a day. It's been great on fuel (98ron). Full tank gives me about 700kms which I personally think is better than a mazda suv I also own and it gives me 450kms on a full tank. Great car with the bose speakers and stuff. But you'll have to get used to the Japanese console and no gps - that's the only downside I can think about.
