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!

    • But, per MBS206's question, what happens when it doesn't start. When you turn the key to IGN, do the dash lights come on (then go off after a couple of seconds) - likely alarm or other electrical issue When you turn the key to STRT do you head a clear click (the starter solenoid trying) without the engine turning (likely starter motor)
    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
