Hey everyone,

Just purchased a 06 350z GT.

Anyways. Just wanted to say hi, im a forum junkie so the first thing i did was look for a forum to get some info about my new baby and love.

Glad this site is here!

Welcome, color?

We need some pics

 

 

welcome and congrats

 

Well, im waiting actually for the rain to stop...

So hopefully, i'll have some pics tomorrow!

But in the mean time, its a Magnetic Black (The type with the bit of sparkle in it) with the Black Leather interior.

All i can say so far..is that this is the nicest and best driving car ive ever been in.

 

Welcome to the forum. What kind of mileage has your Magnetic done?

 

Bought it with 38k miles. Around 20k. Like i said its the GT model, so GPS and those other bells and whistles. I felt like i got a good deal.

 

Auto? awww

At least we don't gotta worry you about the oil consumption then.

Welcome

Also, doesn't appear to be a Grand Touring, there's no brembos.

 

^^ That is what I said exactly. Congrats on the new car but auto makes me want to cry. Have fun with it!

 

Hmmm. The car sales-guy told me it was a GT. I'll take a look through my paperwork again tomorrow, but im almost 100% sure it is.

I know what brembo breaks are, but are they that easy to tell apart from your basic set?

Haha, i figured people would cringe about the auto, but this car is my main commute between work, home, school, ect. I felt that auto would just be more day in, day out, commute friendly.

 

The red 350 has brembo's. As you can see, they're quite different. Looks like you maybe have a touring, or it actually is a GT and the previous owner parted out the brembos. Does steering wheel have controls on both sides?

like this

 

Welcome!!!

You can spot brembos from a mile away!

 

Yes. Yes it does.

 

Possible that you do in fact have a GT, but the brembo's got parted out. Might be worth your time to go to the dealership and say the GT is supposed to come with them. Worst case scenario, they say no, and best case you get brand new bbk

 

Interesting...any worrying. Hmmmm Alright. Well thanks for the info though. Any sane reason why one would part with the brembo's?

Also, does it say brembo on the actual brake? I'll take a look tomorrow morning.

 

Yes sir it does. And I promise you, if that is your car, they are not on there.

Previous owner might have sold them cause he needed money, thinking about trading it in, numerous reasons.

 

What DB said, Brembos come with GT, and for sure you can spot them. They are very nice brakes and they aren't cheap, so I would talk to the seller about why they aren't included with this specific "GT".

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum

 

So apparently, it is in fact a GT, but the original owner opted for the non sport pack, so no 19in wheels (just 18's) and no brembo brakes.
