wassup everyone? I am a new owner of a gray 03 350z. I recently traded in my 04 white is300 for the Z. I love driving my Z to work and around town, its so much more than driving my is300 because of the greater hp. :icon38 One thing im trying to figure out is what models do I have. How can you tell the different?? Thank You!

 

Well congratZ. How many miles, and what spec have you purchased?

 

Base Model and Enthusiast comes with cloth interior and Touring comes with leather interior... I believe the Track comes with leather also, but you can tell the track model by the Brembo Brakes...

Base Model doesn't have TCS or the Bose Stereo system..

Hope that helps

 

welcome and congrat on your Z. IS300 is a pretty good car with great praticalility and performance. If I were you and money is not an issue, I would own both of them. But hey, that was a good trade-in too, so enjoy your Z, you'll fall in love with it

as for the question, did you mean what trim level instead of model? I have a description here from a website (forgot which one), it list the equipments for each trim level. You should be able to identify yours by match what's equipped on your Z... Here it is:



Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options: For now, only a two-seat coupe is available, though a roadster will be available by February 2003. Five trim levels are offered: Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track. Base models come with items like an automatic climate control system with air conditioning; 17-inch wheels; antilock brakes with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD); power windows, locks and mirrors; a CD player; and remote keyless entry.

Going with an Enthusiast model adds high-intensity discharge headlights, cruise control, traction control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a limited-slip rear differential. Performance models get these items plus Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), a tire-pressure monitor and 18-inch wheels. For even more performance, the Track model has front and rear spoilers, 18-inch lightweight wheels and upgraded brakes. Those interested in comfort should take a look at the Touring model, as this has an upgraded audio system with a six-CD changer, power and heated seats, and leather trim. The 350Z's only optional feature is a DVD-based navigation system and side airbags. Dealer-supplied high-performance parts will likely appear in the fall of 2002.


hopefully this helps

 

my 03 Z has 53k miles with leather, heated seats, bose system and 17' wheels. so with the info you guys gave me. I believe i have a touring? the only thing i found wrong with the car is that my back speakers doesnt work. i should have checked that out before i purchased the car but i got extented warranty for the car so i hope it would take car of that problem. thanks for the reply guys.

 

Yep sounds like a Touring Model....

Enjoy your ride and hope you get your sound system worked out... Worse case scenario you get to go aftermarket on it

 

Congratulations. Read the manual and you will be surprised how much stuff your car has and the tricks. If one didn't come with the car, you can get them online.
Also read the 100 FAQ sticky on the forum here.
Good luck with the touring.

 

thanks for the info guys.

 

Hey Zaddiction, as I1der says have a nosey around the manual, you might find that the previous owner has mucked up sound settings, hence no noise to back speakers.

 

i have sound coming out of the back speakers but really low tho. thanks for the info on the manual.

 

Welcome!

I'm sure you have already checked, but just to rule it out... Did you check the Fader control on your stereo?

 

Welcome to the forum, post pics when you get a chance!

 

Any luck yet?

 

thanks you guys for the reply. i still havent have time to bring the car to nissan to check it out yet. one installer at circuit city told me that the factory amp might went out. he said that is commend, true? btw, where you guys buy parts for your car at?

 

when i did the fade control, the passenger speaker coming out really low sound and no sound at all for the sub.
