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.

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.

Hey 'ol mate' - you threw the first stone when you came in here on your low and ugly horse calling the group and me as a representative of that group 'v-tards' - what do you want, a standing ovation f

which puts them at: 2003: $13.100 - $15,600 2004: $14,300 - $16,800 2005: $16,300 - $18,900 So why am I seeing '03 models with asking prices over 20k..?

Actually, there is,although they aren't officially known as that. The G35x, the X denotes AWD system. There were V35s built with AWD systems, so could could kind of call it a V35x....

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...

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

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!

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!

      Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      SAUNSW Pizza Run - Talotta's Pizzeria - Saturday 27th July 2024

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
