Gearbox is awesome, it sounds awesome, drinks fuel, is very tail happy, interior is shocking for a car that cost as much as it did new. Think that's about it off the top of my head.
Get the GT though, contrary to the internet the sound system is good imo and heated leather is a must.

Mine wasn't too bad on fuel tbh, could keep it in the 30's quite easily.
Gearbox is the best i've yet to experience, make sure there is no crunching into 3rd as it's common, had mine rebuilt under warranty for it. Also check for noises/clicking from rear CV's.
Facelift interiors are much better but they're twice double the tax.
Bose is very good and you can wire up an aux cable to the tape deck so you can use the standard stereo with mp3 players etc.

Im on 350-uk as said it is very quiet but thats the only one i knew of at the time, they were on about joining with another site if i remember correctly (or it could just be at shows where they do that).
either way martin who runs it is a nice bloke met him up at the yearly meet they have.
i wish i still had mine tbh but running it as a weekend toy was ridiculous i always managed to get through a tank in a weekend

A few mates have got skylines and the interiors are awful.
Would also like something that will do atleast 25mpg on a run and something under 10 years old.

Will it do 25mpg on a decent run? and are they reliable?
Im always paranoid about turboed stuff blowing up
Going to go and test drive a 350z in the New year, just worried they wont be quick enough.
Ive had a look and a decent one is over 10k and Im not stretching my budget for one

They're quite a lazy V6, also feel like you're going slower than you are. Wouldn't say they're slow though.
Interior trim and buttons were the biggest let down for me, really cheap switches for heated seats/stereo.
Would own another though.
