nissan350z gt help with model type

[glaisdale101]

i have a nissan 350z GT on a 2005 plate however the GT on the back is red, someone told me was because it was tuned version and as it is a uk model quite rare , is this correct can anyone help as i've looked on the internet and can't find anything

I've never spotted a GT badge on any of them.
Mine's a UK GT and has no badge.

[glaisdale101]

on the back it has the usual 350z then follows this it GT but in red, it hasn't been added or painted. i've seen a few withh the GT but not red

[350nick]

Never seen or heard anything about this before! My gt just says 350z on back. You sure its not just a badge thats been added?

Our 350Z GT has no GT badge either.

Someone has stuck that on, IMO.

defo not just stuck on so just been on wikipedia and found this
Gran Turismo 4 Limited EditionSet for limited release Spring 2003 only in Europe, Nissan 350Z Gran Turismo 4 Limited Edition featured the Nissan 350Z, in Ultra Yellow and Kuro Black body colors, as its focus. Only 700 copies of this collectors' item were released in the time period. The unique coupé with 3.5 liter engine has 300 hp (10 hp more than original) at 6400 rpm, but the red line starts at 7000 rpm.[8]

[edit] 35th Anniversary Edition (2005)To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the début of the Datsun 240Z, Nissan released a tuned version of the 350Z coupé. The 35th Anniversary Z was débuted at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas on November 2, followed by its first public appearance at the Miami Auto Show in early November. It went on sale in January 2005.[9]

The 35th Anniversary Edition includes an uprated 300 hp (220 kW) V6 engine for the six-speed manual transmission model. Other key 35th Anniversary Z equipment (standard on both six-speed manual and five-speed automatic-equipped versions) includes unique 18-inch (460 mm) cast aluminium-alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, Brembo brakes and special Z badging. The car comes in a variety of unique colours including "Ultra Yellow", "Super Black" body colours. This Z's interior also was available with a two-tone black and beige set configuration.

Is yours a GT4 model (ie. yellow)? If so, it's a GT-spec and has the revised 296BHP engine.

You could always call a Nissan dealer and give them your VIN - they can then confirm the exact model and spec. FWIW, I don't think any 350Z came with a 'GT' badge on the back...

Pics?

my nissan is black and the badge's are definately standard, i noticed on wikipedia it stated the annivesary model had special z badging so wonder if this is the case. Think i'll email nissan uk
sorry cant upload photo as car is in body shop till wednesday, when i get it back i'll upload a pic of badge and any info from nissan

And what part of this says stuck on fake badge included? Post a picture so I can laugh.
Mabe you dont know what car you have? could it be one of these lol http://articles.motortoday.com/testdrive/350GT/350... this is not a 350z.

[glaisdale101]

i would post a pic of you so we could have a laugh but haven't got a lense that could cope. anyway i,ve been on to nissan and they confirm it is a GT 35th special edition some did come with special GT badges on and the uprated engine similar to the GT4, however on that year there were quite a few different models available

[EvilZ]

Why dont you give us some details of your car? If its black or yellow yes it could be a 35th anniversary edition does it have a plate saying what number it is? what wheels does it have? Also I phoned nissan for a service and they said the cambelt would need changing lol, I've never met or heard of a nissan dealer who knows anything about a Z. Have a look on 350z forums for yourself.

As people are saying it could well be a gt4 which is the anniversary model. If its black or yellow and has different rays alloys to a normal gt. If so it has the power hike that the 06 onwards models had, 296bhp off top of head! They're fairly rare, possibly 100 made??
