Nice find Vee. I remember seeing this car on Carsales when I was looking for my R36 last year. Mine had to be a late model Biscay Blue wagon with a sunroof. It has a few extras as well, which I'm happy about.

I'm not really into modding cars - I did install an RVC and am tempted by Dynaudio though.

These cars aren't cheap to run and I've had to sort out a few things since I bought it - so my money has been spent on maintenance.

Congrats on the new purchase Vee, that's my old car !! (I am the original owner, I sold it around 18 months ago)

Quick question, does it still have the Arqray exhaust I fitted on it, I loved the sound of it first thing in the morning on start up
also I did have euro plates fitted but transferred them to my new car so the holes will be still in the front plastic from memory

It was a great car and never gave me any problems

Wow! Small world. I haven't picked it up yet but It sounded pretty good when I drove it so I would say yes. Has a pod filter as well and some flappy paddle extenders. Did you do those as well or any other mods? Do you remember exactly what options it has?

I noticed the euro plate screw holes. Debating if it's worth the $700!

Have a look under the back when you pick it up, I'm pretty sure there are Arqray badges on the mufflers, I used too have them spotless and shiny
as for mods, the paddles etc, must have been done by the current owner, Exhaust was the only mod I made

enjoy your new toy

Awesome. Will check and confirm once I pick it up. I have no doubt I will enjoy it ��

As as for options from what I could see it was as below, sound right?
rear view camera - yes
Adaptive cruise control - no
Dynaudio - not sure but sounded reasonable
GPS - no
lane assist - no
Power tailgate - yes
sunroof - no

Hi Vee
All the above sounds right, except the rear camera the current owner must have fitted this

The Dynaudio was the standard one (no sat nav / GPS) can't remember the model number sorry, but I'm sure someone else here could let you know the model number ?

hope that helps,

Dynaudio is mega easy to identify.

Are the speaker grilles on the doors all black or do they have an aluminium strip with a red Dynaudio logo on them? You can also check the amp or the sat nav branding (Screen will say Dynaudio in a couple laces) but the grilles are the easy way.

Arqray exhausts are also mega easy. Are the mufflers full chrome cylinders or just regular matte steel... bubbles, for lack of a better term? If it looks nice and shiny, it's aftermarket.

Welcome to R36 land! It's expensive but worth it, these are phenomenal cars on the straights and in the twisties, and yet comfortable and feature packed in the suburbs. Mine is white but pictures like yours almost make me wish I got blue instead, your car looks terrific!

Picked her up yesterday.

Still has the Arqray exhaust which sounds awesome. The guy I bought it from has fitted a cold air intake that actually looks pretty reasonable, flappy paddle extenders and an after market RVC but it links in with the system nicely.

Does not have Dynaudio but the system sounds fine to my ears. One thing that is doing my head in is BT audio. Got my phone paired with the Ficson no problem and can make and receive calls. I can get music to play through it with the A2DP but the sounds is terrible, very flat and only coming through the front speakers. There is a BT Audio button on the radio but it is greyed out. Sound quality through the stereo aux in plug is fine but I haven't tried the the ipod connector yet (need an adapter).

Hope to have a chance to tidy it up a buit over the next few days and get some photos.

Congrats!
If the fiscon bt annoys you just throw it out and install an oem and you'll be fine.
Note that we need the Wi-Fi capable units, standard 9w7 doesn't work with our steering wheels (speaking from experience).
The oem bt unit performs flawlessly and has unbeatable sound quality both for calls and streaming.
