the 35th anniversary model came with the 35th ann wheels which later became the facelift 06+ wheels basically

also i believe the 35th manuals came with the 7000rpm redline 300 hp engine as well

You mentioned you have a 35th anniversary that you had a hard time finding. Here's one that popped up on Trademe
today. Photos look like all the photos on the auction sites.

p.s. was a 35th version quite different from stock?

The console dials don't look 35th to me. Bit hard to see in those pics though. Better pics of the interior might help you. Also just because it's built or registered in 2005, doesn't automatically make it an Anniversary.

I wouldn't count on what the rego,says, When I had my Subaru go through compliance years ago they will register it as what ever the car is badged at. I put a RTi decal on the tailgate and that is what the registration says.

This one looks ok, bar the shabby fabric seats (most seem to be like this in the fabric), and the unsuitable tyres, not high performance tyres.

Usual rubbish pics. Might be worth knocking them down a bit!

This one looks fairly tidy. Not right with the bhp though.

Cool thanks man. Yeah I saw the blue 07.
The thing is, for nearly the same price (few grand more) I can get a 07-08 Nismo in great condition through Japan auctions.
The Carwebs people make sure it's a genuine Nismo when you place a bid on it.
Just waiting for the right one at the moment.

You are very patient.

The JDM 35ths came in a few slightly different configurations, but generally have:
Rev up motor 300HP
7000 redline
Brembos
Leather
6 speed manual
Anniversary Wheels
Heated seats and wing mirrors
Ultra yellow, Black and a silver hue were the only colours
Some had tyre presuure sensors

UK and North American 35ths also had a plaque on the centre cosole identifying the particular number of the car out of the total 35ths released in those markets eg 23 / 176.

Hey guys check out this '07.

Is it me or is that quite a good price for the year? Aside from the color (a bit too bright for me), if it's in great shape
I think it's not a bad deal. Obviously tough to tell without seeing in person.

Opinions?

It's obviously a personal thing, but Solar Orange looks gorgeous. It's a bit lighter than the Le Mans Sunset, still has the metallic in the colour. Solar Orange is very rare, being a one year colour. Up until recently there were only 4 SO's in NZ. The engine in this one is the VQ35HR, so more hp, 313. Mileage is fine. Wonder what the seats are like, given someone is sitting in the drivers seat.

Certainly worth going to check out.

Solar Orange. That is a rare colour in NZ. I saw one once at Jim Wright Nissan. Don't think Nissan NZ imported that colour. They are a slight metallic. Will always stand out from the rest, along with Ultra Yellow. Both great choices IMO.

Bit hard to tell but it may have Brembos. If it had been NZ new it would have cruise and heated leather seats as well.

Brembos indeed

Jim's wife used to drive that one. He and his family came along to track day 3 years ago in the SO & another toy.

Quite right. SO was ex-Aussie.

Under bright sunlight, like the Daytona Blue and Le Mans Sunset, the colour glows.

The colour rocks! You'd be mad not to...
