That's already sold, he listed it on Facebook, I got tagged about an hour after the first two people in line, and went third in line.

If you'd got it you still would have had to get the headers to make it complete...

The headers are LHD. There is no off the shelf header for the RHD R36. Arqray and Supersprint are both catback systems and cost around $3000, Bastuck is also catback and cheaper but is apparently ****, the only other system is the iPE which includes cats and flex pipe from the header back but depending on what tips and if you want straight through cats or not, that's a cool $6500-7500 from The Retrofitters or about $5500-6500 from the other reseller, even if you can get a good deal you're being ripped off $2-3000.

Yeah I'm not really considering exhaust. I'm happy enough with the restrained sound.

Enabled 'easy access' on the memory seats:

Just did this on my car as well, cheers for the tip! Sadly like you said it barely moves so it hasn't really helped the problem which is I can't get in without scraping the button on my back pocket on the bolster. Oh well, still a cool setting! Why oh why do they hide these things. I wonder what else is hidden away in there...

Glad I'm not the only one that has this problem, Have started buying jeans without buttons haha

Difficulty getting in and out of this car is one of its biggest problems. The side skirt and sill are huuuge, the bolsters are huuuge, and the seating position is very low. I'm 5'9" and not overweight and I really struggle to get in and out of this car without scraping the bolsters or hitting the side skirt with my shoe. Without the steering wheel to hold onto I don't reckon I could do it. My girlfriend is much shorter than me and I had to have the talk with her after I was cleaning the suede and noticed she had been sitting on the bolster for support to get out of the passenger seat and snapped the foam inside. >.<

(Not angry at her though, not a car person, that's not obvious. **** happens and she avoids it now.)

Ah the sacrifices we have to make to drive an R36....so worth it

I hear ya with the getting in and out. You know what though, I would have preferred the seats in leather like our Jetta. I find it a little easier to sit in as my clothes can slide around a little to get comfortable. I find that I have to bob up and down to make sure that my short or pants are in a comfy position due to the alcantra being a grabby material. I am living with it, but if I had the choice, full leather for me. I also catch the odd button on the bolster and the bolster is looking a little worse for wear because of it too. It just cops all the hits doesn't it. Like Kamold says, so worth it though!!
