Is This Real, Or A Chop?

[AxlOz]

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.

could be possible the guy just doesnt know what he is talking about. im with you tho shouldnt be a 7speed

[PN-Mad]

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.

[PN-Mad]

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...

Didn't see your post, or that.

[Howaitonaito]

The awd jap spec sedans are know and the 250GT-four. Not X

[Howaitonaito]

Yeah coupes didnt come X anyway. Bloke clearly needs to stop gaggling on bong water after brushing.

[(Locky)]

If I could be f**ked I would just go have a look to see how much shit he is talking as its only 20min away but CBF :lol:

[Nightcrawler]

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

Whoever owns it clearly does not know anything about his car.

[AxlOz]

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!

[Seano350GT]

my god.. this guys on crack

[SMOKEYV35]

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!

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.

[Seano350GT]

'05 didn't have projector headlights

[Nightcrawler]

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!
