After 2 months I thought it was time to add some pictures of the new car, plus the wish list has began.

Anyway... It a 2008 2.5lt STR. I purchased it through NissanHQ and there employee program meaning I was able to wipe a lot off the price. Further more I asked for a current employee to have the car for 10000k's/ 6 months which fuurther lowered the price of the car.

Having only picked up the car late January this year you might be wondering how I could wait nearly 2 years for delivery.
The car was built may '08 and wasn't shipped over to Melbourne from Japan till sept '08. From there it was not regestered until july '09 when a nissan employee's wife drove the car until January this year.

I initially called nissan to order back in august'09 so I waited for ever!!!
So far the its been excellant!!! Its exactly what I wanted!!! now all I have to do is save up for some extra goodies.

So far the car is standard with only a couple of extras from nissan:
- Tow bar (excluding tow ball)
- Genuine nissan moulded rubber floor mats
- Tonneau cover
These came with the car without me knowing and at no extra cost.

Items in the list to be added shortly are:
- ARB deluxe bull bar (colour coded)
- Nissan/Airtec snorkel
- Tow ball to add to the tow kit that didn't include the ball...

Wish list:
- Lightforce 170's ( if they fit in the pre drilled holes on the bar)
- GME 3340 UHF radio
- MSA seat covers front and rear
- ARB air compressor (mounted behind the rear seat)
- Custom storage unit behind rear seat... if it fits

OK so ive just picked up the ute from ARB Kilsyth after having the new bar fitted. Deluxe style colour coded.
Ive seen a few white navs with colour coded genuine nissan bars and didn't like the look so I went with this one.
