First bit of advice, buy one WITH premium it's definitely worth the extras trust me.

There are a few boosted guys in the V-Series Skylines section, post a topic in there.

You can find a mint black manual for around $20,000 mark STOCK. Turbo kits are $5,000+

Just beware you need to buy a JDM double din facia dash in order to fit an aftermarket sound system- http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-INFINITI-NISSAN-SKYLINE-G35-DOUBLE-DIN-DASH-KIT-DUAL-ZONE-AC-CONTROL-/251142407258?_trksid=p4340.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D1818557018950828729%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26

V got a 34gtt sedan and 350gt fully optioned premium spec coupe.... Get a 34gtt speciall if u don't know much about cars plus they are already turbo. 350gt is heavy on fuel and uncomfortable if ur a big bloke, but will be cheaper on insurance

It's heavy on fuel subject to how you drive it.. i get around 500-600km to a tank city driving. They are VERY comfortable cars, i have the premium pack with leather interior and i'm 6'1 and i could almost fall asleep driving they are that good. And cheaper on insurance, that all depends on the individual, your comments are very biased..

To answer the OP's question, like i said before definitely post a topic in the V-Series Skylines section you will receive a good amount of information on the 350GT's. I also think it might be difficult for you to find one exactly as you have mentioned as a lot of these cars are Premium models.

The good: They are powerful and reasonably priced cars, 206KW at the fly stock. They are very attractive cars, attracts attention as a big population of people don't know what they are. Very modern in terms of accessories and features.

the bad: they aren't cheap to buy parts, servicing is an issue as most places don't like to touch them, insurance is through the roof, suspension bushes are shit from stock and need replacing pretty fast.

I can think of a lot more things to mention but i'm at work and can't give a fully detailed post at this point in time

Lol 6ft 1 and 50kg wet? Or like me 6ft 4 120kg back pains and knee problems from footy and working my ass of as diesel fitter, so come weekends or time off i dont enjoy the 350 as much as i enjoy the 34 due to space and comfort?So please tell me how my comments are bias young fella? Or is it cuz u own a 350gt and nothing else that everything is all hale glory for your type of car? Old matey here asked a question and I just gave a quick 2c throw in on my thoughts. Btw hks do a supercharger kit for the 350gt pricey at about 7k for everything u need to bolt on

6'1 and i weigh 83kg. Fair enough being that big you may find it uncomfortable, but i assure you everyone else that owns one of these that is smaller than you will only have good things to say about the seating. Can i just say this reply is hard to read too.. I love the R and V series Skylines, shit the R34 GTR is still a dream car of mine.

I had the exact same dilemma not too long ago, ended up buying an R34 GTT black with sunroof :) whichever car you go you won't be disappointed 350GT is a great car but IMO it lacks the sportiness and personality of the R34. It's more of a luxury prestige car than an all out sports car, so really depends on what you want. Prestige and comfort then go 350GT. FI kits are also a lot of $$$ so take that into consideration. There is some discussion about stillen & hks kits so be sure to read all about that.

There is also a fair bit of variation WITHIN the 350GTs:

So be sure to know which car you're actually buying (year / trim / options etc)

But most importantly TEST DRIVE BOTH. It's the only way you'll know for sure.

Good luck.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
