Ignoring pricing, timing, mileage (both okay), what would in your opinion be the better buy:

2004 350GT Sedan (upgrade model) with cloth seats, dual zone air, 5sp auto, Nissan stereo (ie not a Bose upgrade version) with steering wheel controls, VDU, 17" wheels but does not have the Bose package or leather

OR

2003 300GT Sedan Premium model with half leather/suede seats, Bose audio, 5sp auto, 18" wheels

I am leaning towards the 350GT due to engine specs and it is newer notwithstanding the lower spec features.

How much difference is there between the Bose package and the non-Bose package - given I am not an audiophile

I currently own a 98 Stagea and had a 96 Skyline before that (seem to have a thing for Series II Models)

Cheers

newer = win? me too :verymad:

but it still depends, bose = more money to spend if u lookin at future modding/upgrade.

but mayb like me, i do love to have the leather seat? but hot in summer.. the half leather is good to avoid the driver sliding around if going track?

blab bbbllabbb... too much to think on..

It seems to be mainly the Bose system that is missing plus some of the other options

Will have a listen to the stereo system and if it sounds okay then that solves that one

Not too fussed on leather seats

Had heard there were issues with the VQ30DD engine so the VQ35DE seems more reliable

Was told that having come from an R33 and Stagea that I would be disappointed with the 300 in comparison performance wise

I've got both. The 350 definately has more poke than the 300. Got the 300 for the wife as its more a cruiser, still a nice car to drive.

Regardsless of Bose I'd still prefer the 350gt anyday. Shop around, the 350 sedans have dropped in price by a fair bit. Source a Series 2 which has the aluminium center console and bose CD/MD instead of CD/Tape. Should be able to pick one up for around 25k or less nowadays.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
