The 2007 Nissan Skyline V36 350GT Type S sedan worked out really well. The W2 “paint wave” mentioned on the auction report is non-existent. I have polished the car and there is not a wave or anything. The rest of the car is very clean and well presented the interior still smells like new. It is a very powerful car. The compliance workshop also did a very good job.
As for the 1988 Soarer turbo, that was the best made car I have owned !
