Finally Got The 350

[Messiah]

Well i finally finished my search and bought a 350GT.

I'd started out looking for a black late model premium coupe with a 6MT, but after months of searching, waiting for workshops and some entertaining adventures and almost buying a 05 series 2, i ended up with something a little different.

A Red Series 3 Premium Auto

06 model, grade 5A 19k km on the clock... the Mrs is very happy (its for her really and she wanted an auto all along).

I have to admit... for an auto its not half bad.

So now i just have to avoid tinkering too much, but that said, can does anyone know of any worth while mods? I've looked up and read the threads on pods, spacers and z tubes, but it seems this just gives minimal returns. Not only that but i read nissan revised the plenum design in the later models.

Now all i have to do is find a good translation of the S3 computer screens... anyone got any info on this yet? if not i might have some info in a few weeks.

I'll post some pics as soon as i get a dry day to take them.

Congratz Messiah!

I too recently took delivery of a auto 2006 V35 and am loving it. Do you know what the difference between the SII and SIII are and in which months the crossover happened?

The sIII has some styling updates ( i believe the tail lights and the projector head lamp are the most obvious) the sII interior looked much the same however, although the sII i looked at was a manual. Not too sure about the rest... i've seen premium - non premium comparisons but no series comparisons yet. If anyone has an sII in southern sydney i'd be happy to get together to compare and take notes.

I believe the cut over was 09/05ish... apparently the sII i looked at was right on the edge.

haha not as yet. im loving the ride now, but she just gets dirty to easily! hehehe. but no. after reading messiahs figure, ill have to wait a while.. which is far from my priority anyway. but if the price was slightly lower then why not! window shopping...

Hope things are well with your new car and your old V. meet up soon.

i should probably mention the guy originally wanted 42 for it... but dropped it a fair bit when he saw i was willing to take it that day.

So yeah... i was reeeeeaaallllyyy lucky.

got a ticket in it yet?

as for S2 vs S3 differences:

S3: factory bluetooth HF phone - works well as we saw that night.

revised menus in the navi/info system

lights front and rear.

electricals - different internally.

cutoff was 05/12 for the build dates

I have to admit that last friday was quite interesting from where we started to where we ended up. looking at a black manual then a balck auto then the red car.

actually when are we doing the rest of it? (cruise/alarm etc)

No ticket yet, but i've just plugged my credit card into it so that alyse can keep the fuel topped up after her lead footed antics.

Yeah it was a really interesting day, i plan to do a write up on it (infact i've been meaning to ask you if you mind me giving you a mention in a story for carsguide) but i havent had chance.

And i dont know how to thank you enough mate, you really did save the day.

As for the rest of it. I'm thinking mid next month if the slots open, i think you might have a big todo list tho, everything from dvd to nav to ipod to radio to alarm... say... can you do bluray??? (just because i'm childish).

What does everyone think... bluray hi-def on a 7inch screen??

[Chris Rogers]

happy to oblige, as for the mention, go for it. I want to proof read it first of course.

time wise - mid july. work out what you wnat and let me know - same rules

Thanks Chris.

So the factory bluetooth will work then?

[Messiah]

yeah bluetooth works a charm... got that going already... even found the option to store phone numbers in it so you can ring using just the computer.
