The primary differences are the touring is more luxury oriented with leather seating, 6-disc bose stereo, heated seats and optional navi. The track is more sport oriented with the rays wheels, brembo brakes, cloth seats, front and rear zero-lift aero package. There are slight variances depending on the year. If you're looking for a combined package, they have a grand touring Z that is basically a touring model with brembos and the rays wheels in the 06 model year. You may still be able to find a 05 35th anniversary Z new at the dealer lot. Might be hard to find a 6MT if that is what you wanted but you might be able to score a deal. The 35th Anniv edition is basically a touring Z with Brembos and it's own unique wheels.

We can try to be more specific if you post what years you are looking at. We should be able to tell you some of the changes made each year as well.

Thanks for the info guys, do you have any pics of a track models front and rear spoiler.. i found one for sale the add reads 03 track ed, w/ leather? 18"s(says nothing about being the light wheels), xeonon's(which the touring gets too) with 30k for 21900...It says nothing about the brakes and the spoilers..

I would like the heated leathers... i dont care about wheels as in the future i will be putting aftermarkets on anyways... the spoilers i would like because i dont want to go through the hassels of buying, fitting, and painting another kit for a daily driver that someone is bound to f up....

The OEM spoiler is like the one I have in my sig.

Check the Vin # of the car you are looking at.

I was looking at a used 350z marked as touring and it ended up being an Enthusiast. As soon as I saw it didn't have leather and Bose I knew, then I checked into it to be certain.

The Track has one big + IMO. The Brembos. If you try and buy a big brake upgrade later, it will cost more than the difference you will pay.

Here is the Nismo style wing...http://www.injectedperformance...ID=36

You can add the Nismo wing at the dealership or get one like this through one of our Nico sponsors.

As for used 350z's, they are in the autotrader like crazy. You can also check out your local Nissan dealership. They will have one or two used ones I'm sure.
