The major problem is oil-consumption by the 'rev-up' engine. Read up on it... besides that all's good.

why not buy a z in germany... why don't you just buy a skyline... like even a nice rwd 99 skyline would be hot if you fixed it up

What do you need shipped ?? I try not to buy from anyone who doesn't ship to APO addresses. If a company won't ship simple parts to military members overseas, i won't give them my business.

I had a hard time getting some stuff sent to Okinawa when i was statiopned there.

I've got an '06 that I've driven to autocross and road course events without issues. No OC since I've got a non-revup -- 5AT.

06 enthusiast and no oil problems. Only had one problem so far and it was just a small finish issue on the interior. Only at about 10k miles though mainly just goes back and forth to work and runs some errands.
