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.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
