a barely part time employed uni student wont consider anything under $20 cheap lol

anyways back on topic,

may i ask why the huge price range? (i mean its understandable for price diff between slightly different models/options, but almost 20k difference?).

btw, are they the ones that sorta look like a 350Z (shape wise)?

edit: (i am assuming that "skyling" is a typo for "skyline" or am i to drunk/stupid to know whats going on)

Its just like any other imports, it depends on km, manual/auto, sedan/coupe, aftermarket products and if its a an ex demo car from a tuning house.

There are only two trim level for the coupe, standard and premium. And just one spec for the sedan, but the CVT-8 (auto) is a bit like the premium. Both sedan and coupe have the same interior instrument layout.

In premium form you get as an extra are the leather seats front and back, power front seats with memory, DVD sat/nav, some of them even come with parking sensor with camera for front and back, indicators on the mirrors.

It use the same engine and gearbox as the 350z, but its a 4 seater, so you can think of it as a 2+2 version of 350z. And what ever you can do to a 350z mechanically, you can practically bolt it on to the 350GT.

Yeah James that was my first impression when i saw it too. Maxima use the same engine too, but it runs on FWD, so its slower.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

maxima would be slightly faster actually cos it has less drivetrain loss... thats why ya 3.5l magnas are usually faster than rwd commadores/falcons

i saw one of these skylines in the WA targa rally a while ago as an officials car, they dont really stand out as a performance looking type of car

Hmmm nissan never made a turbo version of the VQ35DE, but there is a supercharged version by Nismo for the 350z GT-S.

if we are dreaming and you want to get a nissan the choice is either

Z-tune r34 GTR, or is you can't get one of those a
V-spec R34 GTR

Or just wack on the twin turbo kit on a 350Z...thats a hot mod for it..
