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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
