G35 or 350Z?

[psychodrama_81]

Just seeing what people's opinions are about these two cars. :cool:

[PSINXS]

get an 05 G35. heard its boasting more power than 350. besides its sexier. then tt it.

[psychodrama_81]

I like your way of thinking.....but I thougt the two of them had the same engines but built on different frames? I mean, yeah the G35 is way sexier than the 350, and the the 350 looks like its missing something; it seems too plain, but i thought they basically had the same horsepower?

[Cool Cat GTR]

G35 two door all the way baby!!!

[psychodrama_81]

Yeah, the coupe is pretty bad-ass

[flysi00]

g35

G35 is basically a 350 with a back seat but both look pretty good when they're modified.. personally I lean toward the G35 of course :D

As far as modifying goes theres a lot more out there for the Z cosmetically.. the options for the G35 are VERY limited as far as body kits go. Under the hood everything is pretty much the same and you get some nice luxuries with the G. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.. I've been all over both cars for the past 2 years.

[BarnDog296]

i would go with the 350, but ONLY if it was the convertible, that is an absolutely beautiful car, and I LOVE the G35, but i still like the 350 convertible better

[PSINXS]

yeah the motor code is the same and such but i am not sure why the g35 has more power

there are the specs straight from the horses mouth

[psychodrama_81]

Why isnt there any G35 convertibles? That kinda baffles me....

[PSINXS]

because they would look really gay. why mess up perfection? all it needs is a nismo aero kit.

[psychodrama_81]

When I think about it...It would look kinda funny....I think, but then again I think way too much. :confused: :lmfao:

[psychodrama_81]

But then...what if it does look cool? I may be on to something......

[MSTANGSALEEN]

I like the looks of the g35 myself

[tony]

I think an unmodified convertible G35 would look very..feminine. Thats why I had to change mine up.. add a lil muscle to it

Your car is beautiful.

:bowdown: :bowdown: Awesome pic dude! What are your specs? :bigok: :bigok:

[PSINXS]

TOny's car=Fuggin fast i ainyt gonna say what he got i'll let him do it.

[tony]

lol its twin turbo'd, 406whp @ 9psi but I hit a deer last sunday so its down for a couple of weeks. When I get it back I'm going to try and push it up to 470whp @ 10psi with tuning.

[psychodrama_81]

Deers and their hatred of the import scene. :jester:

that's impressive numbers. What do people usually get out of the motor before a rebuild/upgrade is due.

[psychodrama_81]

:blah: You know, since I posted this thread, there has hardly been any talk of the 350Z, Is there anyone that can defend the honor of the Z, or is it truly running last? Just curious, thats all. :blah:

[PSINXS]

well Lorca Divale's 350z speaks volumes of what can be done. his is also TT. if u saw his z32 u would kow the man has skills when buuilding a car.

[psychodrama_81]

Tell em to get on here and defend the mighty Z! :king:

[tony]

Average with a built motor is around 520whp - 550whp from what I've seen, a couple of greddy owners are hitting 600whp which is where I want to be.. I figure 650whp would be good with a built motor but who knows..I dont know if the transmission can handle that much power.

Lorcas car is definitely one of the cleanest 350's I've seen yet :goodjob:

[psychodrama_81]

Im pretty partial to the 300ZX's. I wish they wouldnt have discontinued that style.

[smoxe]

Im with you Psycho on the Z32..but that black G35 is nice!

[PSINXS]

I think after i fix the fowty i am going back to the 300zx myself. I miss mine and cant wait to eb behind the wheel of another.

[will]

yeah the motor code is the same and such but i am not sure why the g35 has more power

http://www.infiniti.com/content/model/ModelSpecifications/0,,75219,00.html

there are the specs straight from the horses mouth

6 spd 05 350z track = 300hp
6 spd 05 350z 35th edition= 300hp
6 spd 05 g35 =298 hp

all other 350z = 287 hp
all other g35 = 280 hp

a stock g35 will always be slightly slower than a stock 350z due to their weight. its a couple hundred pounds more.

[girly_typeR]

hey, you can make either car fast. either car can beat one another.

and i perfer G35's. they're hawtness

[tony]

very true..I think a G35 vs. 350Z it'd be more dependent on the driver than the car but all things being equal the 350 will win.

[Canton_G35]

I've driven/drifted both, sure the Z I've driven was Lorca's and mine is still NA. But I've taken both through some paces.

as for handling, the Z has quicker steering and it feels......bouncy, while the G has a nice smooth ride. Of course I'm partial to the G but that's the only difference I've felt.

not to mention, I can fit 6 tires in my G

go ahead Tony, now that they've seen the nicey nice pic blind them with the bad one.......

[Rogue350z]

350Z Rules!!!!

G35 Sucks....oh wait i own both. SO the G35 RULES TOO!!

Actually my wife has a G35 and I have the Z however I like the Z better if nothing more than for the history and heritage.

Besides I can beat Tony.... ;)

It will be back one day! I wish I could've been there to see you drift Lorca's Z, but yanno.. maybe next time.. or better yet you can just bring it to the track. :D

lol In more ways than one.. I cant quite keep up with all of the bling bling you have under the hood there. I had noticed you joined Elite, those are a great group of guys.. I had the pleasure of meeting them at HIN.

[PSINXS]

I saw Lorca's car being drifted and whoever started driving later in the day had some amazing skills. the best out there in the best looking car.

and tony that deer owned your ass. looks like he was trying to steal your FMIC

[psychodrama_81]

HA-HA! The Deer reigns supreme in the automotive world!

[PSINXS]

when u gonna get her fixed again? and i am fixing the sr20 thursday. back on the prowl!!!

yeah believe it or not I was able to talk Andy Sapp into driving it.

[PSINXS]

wow that guy is amazing. it was like the car was tuned for him. tell hiim i said excellent work.

[Game2954]

All in all I believe the G (Skyline) to be a better looking car than the Z (Fairlady). Actually looking at side profiles of these two cars the G looks more like the 300ZX (90-96). I guess the true difference is that the Z is the 2 seater based on the Z32 platform and the G is the 2+2 based on the Z32 platform. The internals are pretty much the same outside of the interior. As for the convertible, I really think that should have never seen the light of day, maybe a Targa top instead. Just my 2 cents

[JDizzl]

:jerkit: I hear so many people talk about the G35 like it's king of the road. I had a350z, that is until I let a drunk waitress from my local watering hole drive it to get more beer. You can guess what happened. The G35 and 350Z do share the same drivetrain, however the G35 sits about 360 lbs. hevyer. AEM cold air intake, Borla cat back, ground block, and the computer flashed out ran my buddys G35 with the same parts. Here is how I look at it, you want luxery buy the G35. You want a performance car you buy the Z!
However, I do like the looks of the G35 better.

[psychodrama_81]

The G35 IS the king of the road :D

[tony]

how's the decision coming for ya psycho?

[psychodrama_81]

how's the decision coming for ya psycho?
Me likey the 35, but I'm kinda broke, so im playing with me 93 protege.....sigh :(

[PSINXS]

just save your money and buy what u really. its agonizing waiting but its so much more worth it. wish i ahd done the same. i like the fowty but coulda had better.

I feel ya....but its soo time consuming.....I'll be too old to drive the thing when I can actually afford it :D

[neontuner95]

g35 looks way better than 350z

[technoteg97]

they both got like the same engine cuz Infinity Owns nissan..?!..unless Im wrong?

[neontuner95]

Im sure the infiniti has more horsepower not sure but I think because its the luxury model.

[absolude]

I am a fan of both, and I think it really depends on what you like more. The Z is more sport and lean, and the G is more practical and cush. Do you want to have the possibility of hauling people and extra stuff around? if you don't think you could deal with having only room for you and one other person, get the g35. If a closed roof two seater is not scary, go for the Z. Personally, I majorly dig the Z roadster. Has anyone else seen that prototype g35 convertible they made? I have, and for the record, it did look pretty stupid. I will try to find the picture again.

[psychodrama_81]

I would like to see that...

[absolude]

I found the photo... here it is.

[psychodrama_81]

I found the photo... here it is.
How did it look with the top up?

Maybe it could have a targa top?

....nah that would be gay too.....

...but people will still buy the convertible, if its produced.

Its mssing a spoiler to accentuate the topless look....I think

[absolude]

Yeah- it doesn't look as sleek as the Z roadster, but I think they will still look into it. I didn't find one with the top up, and that one might have been photoshopped...They might end up rebadging and refacing a Z roadster with Infiniti garnish and appointments and creating a G roadster

that is a very old photochop, its been around since the 03 G35's came out.

[psychodrama_81]

Ahh....so why no convertible?

[tony]

Not sure, you'd think it would be a no brainer for nissan but apparently they have no plans for it.

[psychodrama_81]

I think they could make it look very good if it was convertible, they would just have to tweak the body a little

[99ITRGIRL]

g35!!

[Jon00]

g35!!

damn that hurts when your b/f drives a 350 lol

[psychodrama_81]

wow.....LOL

[Canton_G35]

nice!

[psychodrama_81]

damn that hurts when your b/f drives a 350 lol
:doh: SO whos driving what?

[teggy 2nr]

nissan is coming out with a gt-r G with awd and TT, or so i read in motor trend---kudos 4 the skyline 350gt!!!!!!!! :D

[psychodrama_81]

Yes...very nice

[teggy 2nr]

btw is that thing goin to be sold stateside? or only those tea-sipping brits and koi-raising japs get all the fun?

[PSINXS]

i heard we are supposed to get it but i highly doubt it. we always get the shaft

[psychodrama_81]

Yes the BIG AMERICAN shaft....lol
