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!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
