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.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
