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.

NFI what he is talking about.

Car is a OCT 2003.

frame # in Ad is wrong, should be CPV, as its a Coupe. Has S1 interior to back up being a 2003.

last of the v35s were made in 2006. No such thing as a V35x. And yes interior is a dead giveaway...its only a series 1.

2006 for Sedans, 2007 for Coupes. And yes, four wheel drive in some of the sedans. But this guy seems on the piss. If you're actually interested in buying the car though, call him and get the VIN, that'll answer most of your questions...

Or just click on the link I posted....

And when you Google the vin, surprise, suprise you come across 2 cached links to the original ad for it that says 2003. So he has KNOWINGLY changed it from 2003 to 2008. I assume 2008 is the compliance date? Someone who does not know Skylines that well might fall for the compliance date on the purple sticker as the build date guess

Could be a clean car. Price seems fairs. I wouldn't write it off just because the owner may have selected the wrong model when setting up the ad.

And if he really doesn't know anything about cars, more power to a savvy negotiator.

Play on!

That one is definitely a series 3 - has the recessed tail-lights, chrome door handles and projectors. Also it is a 70th anniversary model, as I am pretty sure they were the only ones to come with full leather.

agreed. not sure if the neon lights inside and out were S3 specific though......unless the owner ticked the 'xzibit pack' option box.

Great combo on that car otherwise. Best colour, best year, with sunroof. Tick, Tick, Tick!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
