Nev23 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Am looking for my first 350z. Within price range I either have choice of a 2007 (07) 300 model or the newer 2007 (57) 313. Is there much difference and which model would people advise? Sorry if this has already been discussed, had a good scan of forum but have found nothing so far!

martinmac Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum. The newer model seems to be very well received so I would put it down to budget and consideration of if you want to keep it standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have a 300 (296 bhp) but if in your position I would have the 309 bhp version. Only gripes I have heard is that engine mods for 309, which is radically different from ther 276/296 versions, are are not so freely available as it has had only had a relatively short life and with the 370Z that is arriving soon tuners are not investing mods for that engine But if engine mods are not your thing then go for the 309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi and Despite the declining prices at the moment, a newer model is always going to be worth more that it's predecessor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Would probably go for the newer one but i would not swap my GT4 for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If I was in the same situation then I'd go for the latest model. Unless it wasn't to a spec / colour I wanted. The colour listing changed on these models so if you may want one that isn't available on the newever model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Welcome to the site I can def recommend the 309 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 As the others have said the newer more powerful one is the way to go, unless you like to mod. There arent as many mods out for the newer model, but if you are going to keep it stock, then the new revised engine is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I would certainly take the later model - its the engine the Zed should have had from day 1. The basic mods are available for it - exhaust, intakes, cats etc but there is far less choice out there. FI is a different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
