zakeri88 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Hey guys, I'm in the process of trying to pick the best Z for my money and i'm struggling to decide which of the two I should go for. So far as I see it like this: GT4s Pros: cheaper tax, limited edition,high resale value, more power than standard model. Cons: Not as fast as 313. 313 Pros: Faster, newer, redesigned engine slightly better. Cons: Expensive tax, about £1k more. Can I get some opinions as to which of the two you would choose and why please? Thanks a lot Quote
tatooandy67 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Both good in different ways I'd keep an open mind to either as overall condition and mileage would be IMO a more important factor, You will know when you find the right one Not much help really ...... good luck with your search Quote
AMT Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Go for a 313, the engines worth it. Also I wouldn't worry too much about resale value, Zeds are not exactly expensive for what they are. They shouldn't be bought as an investment IMO . (personally I hate the GT4 wheels..). Go for a 313, the extra facial tweeks make a difference to the looks and so does the bonnet bulge lol Tax... you shouldn't be worrying about it on a 23mpg-ish car lol EDIT - Having said that I went through the 276 or313 thoughts too, but I'm glad I stumped up for a 313 Edited July 6, 2014 by AMT Quote
Lexx Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Test drive both. See which one you feel happier sitting in and driving. Quote
delz0r Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I've had both. The 313 is definitely better, the HR engine is absolutely fantastic. 1 Quote
ajh350z Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 As above, go for the 313, tax shouldn't be an issue its only £10 a week Just make sure the car has been well looked after and go for the GT spec, cruise control is well worth it on longer trips. Quote
GMballistic Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 As Lexx said really you should see both in person and drive both to see what suits you best. My heart says 313 over the GT4 if you can but only for the difference in interior & some minor exterior differences. Performance wise there won't be a lot of difference imo. Quote
CJRamze Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I have an 06 revup and for the looks and nasp tuning alone I'd go 313. Quote

Tigerzed Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I'm more than happy with my GT4. I doubt you'd be disappointed with either I'd agree with the earlier advice, test drive both and make your own mind up Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 HR all the way ..... Nothing that special about a gt4 to be honest . There are some bargain HR out there to be had , but saying that I would always go on condition and ( for me anyway ) depends what the seller is like Quote
addisj Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I found this discussion when I was looking for mine (HR wins) I couldn't stomach almost double tax £££ and I actually prefer the look of the dash on the pre face lift (even though it scratches so dammed easy!) http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/37648-vq35-hr-vs-vq35-de/ Quote
350zedd Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Go for the HR 313 for reasons you've already stated. Its a great car and great engine. The extra road tax is only 2 tanks of fuel and shouldnt really be an issue when buying this type of car unless you are a real tight ar8e. Tax is £500 a year which in my opinion is worth every single penny! The pleasure you get from driving this car is priceless!! Quote

WhackyWill Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 As nobody said it, I'll say it... Welcome to The Forum. 313 in my opinion. Quote
zakeri88 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys. It looks like the 313 is the way to go. 1 Quote
bamdc2 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Drove a HR the other day and I have to say it is quite different. Engine revs much better and feels tighter (although I think there is less torque?) But I do prefer the non HR interior. Quote
Ebized Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm more than happy with my GT4. I doubt you'd be disappointed with either I'd agree with the earlier advice, test drive both and make your own mind up GT4 for sale here looks like a twin of yours.....going by your sig pic. http://www.350z-uk.c...is-bargain-gt4/ Quote
