Hey guys,

I wanted to get NIssan 350gt for a while but since i wanted a manual one forum advice me to get a series 3 manual 2006 350gt which is roughly around 22- 25k

then i checked the price of 370gt which is somewhere around 26-33k should i spend that extra buck and get the 370gt .. I can get 2008 or even 2009 370gt if i really do my research

- but I m not really a big if the stereo which is on 370gt .. is there a way i can change the stereo to a different one ??

- back spoiler of 370gt makes it look kinda prestige not sporty ?? what u guys think ??

- what are cons and pros of choosing 370gt over 350gt ??

Well if you are after a manual, the 350GT will be a V35, which is a different model to the 370GT which is a V36. the 350GT in the earlier V36 models were in the sedan only and therefore, auto only.

To be honest if the prices you are quoting are all for Manual Coupes, then I would go with the V36 370GT if it is only an extra few $k. Certainly get them checked out very well as you would normally be looking at an extra $10k for a 370gt coupe over a V35 coupe if there were in similar condition.

Stereo is tightly integrated into the vehicle so don't think you'll have an easy time replacing it.

You can look up my thread "How to fit an amp in a V36", or something like that. I have a bit of a write-up of what I did to mine. In a nutshell, I maintained the OEM head unit, upgraded the speakers, installed a DSP and amp, added a custom portable subwoofer box with its own onboard amp and use a Sony NW-ZX1 audio player via the auxiliary.

Pros of a 2009 V36? Looks nice, performs great, hugs the road even with average tyres. If you change your mind about the transmission and decide auto, the 7 speed auto in the '09 is really good.

Cons? Stereo was a pain in the bum to work with but worth it in the end. I'd recommend getting one with the Bose system fitted for the sake of making your wiring job much easier than mine was. I don't see any other cons with mine yet.

I have an 03 manual 350gt.

The cd stacker in mine has pooped itself.

G/box is fine though. I get the feeling that all this nonsense about synchros chopping themselves in the CD001 gearbox is probably a lot due to mishandling of the gearbox. I haven't checked yet, but was told that the gates for 3/5 are shared, so you really have to place it otherwise you will just crunch gear after gear.

The trim levels of the 05+ are a little nicer as well, so there is that.

22-25k for a 350gt? I hope you don't pay that much for one. It's a buyers market out there.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
