Nissan Skyline V35 Series
The V35 Skyline introduced Nissan’s front-midship platform layout to the Skyline sedan and later the coupe, with rear-wheel drive, V6 engines and a more premium interior than previous generations. Japanese-market versions range from the 3.0L V6 sedan to the 3.5L sports sedan and coupe. Engine, transmission and equipment must be checked by chassis because not every factory V35 is covered by the same Australian import pathway.
