London350 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hello all I've had a soft spot for the 350Z for many years now. So after 10 years back n forth with M3's I've finally decided to go back to Jap and start looking for a 350Z. I'm in no rush to get one so thought I would sign up on here and start reading up and doing my research. Any advice welcome I've always wanted a black one so that will probably be the colour I will search for. Could anyone advise on the difference between the GT and non GT. Is it only the Rays alloys and Brembo's? I know we all love a pic or 2 so here's a couple of my Skylines: 2 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 gt is usually UK spec with cruise control, brembos and rays. Non GT come with cloth seats and standard spec. Usually imports from Japan Quote
AntelopeSam Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 The GT pack gave you heated leather seats too. Although there not the best! Something to think about if your into performance etc. I think the cruise control buttons mean you can run multiple ECU maps on Rev-up and HR engined cars, am unsure if it's possible on the DE. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong! Quote

That's interesting, I have seen the terms Rev up, DE and HR relating to the models/engines. I'm still unsure as to what one comes in what models/years and what the differences are. Is there any threads or pages I can read up on the differences? 5 hours ago, Peeege said: Hi and 9 hours ago, Andy_Muxlow said: Hi and welcome along buddy. 8 hours ago, ShortPaul said: Hi from Bristol Thanks for the welcome 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 DE = 03 - 05 (More Torque down low apparently ) Rev Up DE = 06 (High revving oil burner) on some models HR = 07 - 09 (Higher Revving, More refined) Quote

StuZGT Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Welcome to the forum. The GT was a must for me when I was looking mostly due to the Brembo brakes (love the look of them)! Leather seats, Cruise control, and Bose sound system were a bonus. Plus the Rays wheels, although I think they were an option at different times. I went for a DE for the lower tax bracket. Prices seemed to have dropped a fair bit lately. Quote

I will be going for a GT as well. I think they look so much better with the Brembo's and Rays alloys. I think on the engine front I'd prefer the HR but wont let that stop me from getting an earlier model if one comes up in the right colour and spec. Quote
StuZGT Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Yes, I probably would have gone for the HR with the engine and body improvements but all depends on budget. Quote
