Default Ahh! Need Help! Which Z version did i buy?

Hey guys, i have a little problem, i thought i purchased a '05 Track Edition at my local dealer here, but it will be delivered in April '05,

So i went by the dealer today, and he looked up my car in the computer, and it said something like: Special Edition "Gran Turismo 4", so now i am confused, which car did i order??

Thnx for the help!

Well here in Holland... :P

But i saw a thread on another forum that said there was a special edition, which included gran turismo 4, so i'm really confused!

Anybody got any information about this model?

P.s. Sentry65, what time is it over there? i was just wondering

As far as Im aware, there is no model called Special Addition. There is however an "Anniversary" model which is pretty much the top of the line for '05. He could just be tagging the Track that you did order as "Special Addition" since it is pretty special with the light weight rims and Brembos and such. An easy way to clarify would be to call the dealer and ask him EXACTLY the model that you have ordered. Give him choices....."Did I order a TRACK model, or an ANNIVERSARY model"..ect. Hope this helps

http://car.kak.net/modules.php?op=mo...ticle&sid=2146

looks like it's the European Version of our 35th anniversary one.

It's basically a revised intake and cams producing 300Hp instead of the stock 287Hp, so in essence it's a souped up touring edition with 5-spoke 18" wheels, brembro brakes and the aerdodynamic kit(stock on a track and optional on a touring)

It has heated mirrors which is the next thing i'm swapping on my '04...Lucky YOU!!!!

I can easily see them throwing in a $50 game with your $35k purchase.

Damn.....Why do you peeps Overseas get so screwed on the price of the Z?? Maybe because Japanese cars aren't built in Japan anymore (in many cases, they're built in the good ole USA). Damn....does that mean my Z was built by some redneck moron in Kentucky somewhere?? Oh Lord! At least I did own ONE Japanese car that was built in Japan...My 1993 Toyota MR2 !!

And RacerZ, don't worry, your Z was built in Japan; Altimas and Muranos are built in US, but not the Z's

Haha, this forum has turned into a european price discussion! Consider yourselves lucky, in Syria, you have to pay a 235% "customs" tax on some cars!

Full (Dutch) Review

I Found It! Let me Translate:

==================

Playstation Nissan is coming to Holland

Nissan is producing a special version of the Nissan 350Z. The Car is inspired by the 350Z used in the computer game "Gran Turismo 4" by Playstation.

The Nissan 350Z GT4 differs from the normale version because the engine has been tuned to 300HP; 20HP more that the normal version. Top speed now is electronically limited to 160 MPH and the 0-60 sprint takes 5.8 seconds. Nissan also promises a spectacular exhaust roar over the normal version.

The apperance of the GT4 is easily recognizable when put next to the standard 350Z. The most eye-catching features are 18" 5-spoke alloys that are not available to standard 350Z's (Note: Including 2-tone leather seating and Track package). Only 28(!) special edition will be available in Holland, Delivery starts in February '05. Also, the special edition is only offered in 2 color's, Ultra Yellow and Super Black.

One of the biggest accesory change is a 240Watt BOSE Sound System.

Buyers will also be spoiled by Nissan by receiving a Playstation 2 and the "Gran Turismo 4" game. The extra pricetag on the GT4-Version is not available (except for people that already ordered it :P)

==================

This is the version i ordered, But thanks for the support guys! did anyone ever heard of this version?

P.s. Sorry for the typo's, i translated it myself directly from the site...
