Hi guys, I was browsing around trying to determine which model and engine I have, but it doesn't seem to be straight forward... being the 3rd owner and buying a modified car.

I have heard the following help determine which model I am but I can't piece it all together:
-2006 that was originally from the U.S.
-6 speed MANUAL transmission.
-Has the TCS button
-Bose speakers (head unit was replaced to a aftermarket gps system)
-Has cruise control and stereo control on the wheel
-Leather seats
-Convertible
-Don't know which rims it came with (previous owner put 370z rims on)
-Has heated seats
-Has brembo brakes (could be aftermarket?)

Can anyone determine which model and then which engine I'd have?

Thanks a ton!

Mike

 

Sounds like a grand touring roadster. You could try the vin decoder and see what it spits out, even though it's not right 100% of the time. Look up top under the tools tab, click vin decoder.

As far as engines go, it should have the vq35de rev up.

 

Maybe touring with brembos added...and you have the revup motor

 

I would say Touring or Grand Touring given the Brembos. If you still have the brake dust shield around the rotors then it's more likely that the Brembos came from the factory.

 

Did they do a gt in 06? And i thought they had built in nav

 

Yes. Vert only.

 

There was an '06 gt coupe.

 

Did not know that.....thanks

 

You're right. My bad.

 

No problem. I looked at one for sale a year or so ago but they were very proud of it.

 

I could be completely wrong (probably), but I thought TCS meant Enthusiast...as higher trims would have VDC.

 

Input the VIN and it will indicate the trim level of your 350z

My Nismo has a TCS button, not a VDC. You cant turn the VDC off, only the TCS.

 

didn't know that...I have a VDC button (2005 Performance) and it seems to turn-off.

 

None of the Roadsters had VDC.

 

I somehow overlooked the "Convertible" part
