BLINDS122000 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 hi everyone had my first test drive today of a 08 350z was brilliant and really liked the car! pulls way harder than my type r! the garage was very helpful and talking to the dealer he said he could find a 57 or 08 313 model with 15000 - 20000 miles for 16000?! he said he wasnt to sure but he thought he would be able to find one. has anyone bought a 57 or 08 313 for this price? seems to cheap to me cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dealers were offering new gt spec cars for 20k earlier this year so that sounds reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I don't think you'll see any for that price just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLINDS122000 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 hi guys thanks for the replies really undecided whether to get the 313 or the rev up. i do think the 313 pulls alot harder but do you think the 313 is quiter than the previous engine or sounds better?? cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLINDS122000 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 hi guys going round in circles abit with what i want lol A really nice 2006 model has come up thats black orange seats and has the sat nav. Looks amazing and would love to have the orange seats but i know they are rare. but.... as you know deep down i get the feeling the 313 is the better car but will have to spend more. Performance wise is there actually any real real difference bewteen the two for everyday driving. i have noticed the revups peak torque is higher so guess it needs to be thrashed more. I know everybody has there opinions but more the better any help would be fab cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Personally I would buy a slightly older car and save the money for modding. I dont think you will find much difference in the drive between the various engines. The older ones have plenty of power for me and I have the lardy roadster.

matth76 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'd go for the 309bhp (313ps) version personally. A lot more torque and way more power and better more reliable engine all round. The rev up version actually has the least torque of all three models. The earliest "280ps" model actually has the most torque from the factory. Mine (a 2005 model) recently made 290lbs/ft on the dyno at GT Art but is advertised as having 274lbs/ft from the factory. The rev up is advertised as having 260lbs/ft from the factory so a big difference, and the 313ps model advertised as having 268lbs/ft. But the 313 version has a more even spread of torque so best all rounder. The newest 313 engine actually has more of a growl than the earlier models. 16k should be possible but it will not be the GT model. I found some GT (313) models for the 17-18k mark a few months back but have probably dropped since. As said brand new ones were being sold for 20k earlier this year so 16k very feasable. Make sure it is the 313 model (bonnet bulge and two air filters under the bonnet, plus the ignition has an orange light around it). Good luck.

xStric9x Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 313 no doubt... leave the rev up alone mate Why leave the rev up alone bud? don't quite understand. The rev up engine is far easier to modify than the 313, plus if you put the two side by side and gave it some beans you would hardly tell the difference. I think you will find that forum members have had no problems with the rev up models, and me for one would choose this over the 313 model and put my savings to modifying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
