Fair point, but red fades a lot quicker than silver or white will, and these are 10 years old now - plus these cars look super smart in silver or white, even with stock wheels! But the red one is definitely in my price range, though the kms are pretty high.. I'll have to go have a look.

I'd love to have the bucks for a newer 370, but I'm only able to spend about 15k tops.. I do seem to gravitate towards the coupes too. While I don't have any kids to worry about the coupe will be fun to own.

So I have looked there, but it makes no reference to series 1, 2, or 3 in the v35 section..

which year/s are the series 3 models?

How about this one: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2007/SSE-AD-2100489/?Cr=2 It looks more like an '05 model to me.. By '07 they had a different dash.

Glad I asked the question! Even happier that I was able to spot the dodgy one as I've only been learning about these for a couple of weeks. Thx for the info guys!

So I was browsing carsales.com.au and came across this: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?Cr=0&R=SSE-AD-1146733 Its apparently a V35x - 2008 model, with the usual 3.5L V6, and a 7 speed auto gearbox. My understanding is that the 2008 model skyline coupes were all V36 370GT's.. This car seems like its a V35x from 2007 latest, but somehow has a 7 speed box in it... Anyone know of this car? It has too many kms on it for my liking, but I'd be interested to know if it's legit.

There's definitely some (quite a few actually) out there for 13~14k. But I've never seen one at or near 10k...

Sorry to thread jack here, but can some please PM me some 03/04 V35's that they see for 10-12k?? I'm not seeing any that cheap here in Sydney.. OP - Thats a sweet looking V35! but outta my price range..

I'd love to see a V35 with a bonnet that looks like one from a recent Mustang. It has a bit in the centre that is higher than the sides..

Yeah, I played with it in a manner of ways and it would just tilt up, then go back to closed position.. Think it was just a faulty one..

thanks 350GT8 - I thought thats what they're supposed to do.. I think the one I looked at was a bit faulty.

Hi guys, I've been on the hunt for a V35 the last couple of weeks and today inspected on with a sunroof. It had a button up between the cabin lights at the front of the ceiling and when I pressed it the roof would tilt up, stay for a second, then tilt back down into the closed position again. I couldn't get it to retract back into the roof at all.. Do the sunroofs in these models normally retract in - effectively opening to roof to the sky? Or do they only tilt up..?

Thanks for the tips guys, sounds like japlink is the place to go then! There seems to be a lot of these cars on the market at the moment so I'll need to sift through the bad ones! Hopefully there mostly good!

Hi guys, I'm hoping to be a V35 owner soon, but before I am I'd like to get the vehicle checked over by someone who knows what to look for in these. Can anyone recommend some good mechanics or workshops in Sydney where I could do this? Cheers!

Hi all, I've decided to get into a V35. Anyone have one for sale? I'm looking at 2003 or newer models, must be a coupe. I'd prefer something with none, or not too many mods. Must be registered and all import compliances etc in order. Going rate seems to be 14-17k, so something around here is good. I'd prefer to buy in Syd, though will entertain offers from surrounding areas - Wollongong, Newcastle, etc. Let me know what you have!
