jc0r Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi all. Im currently lookin to get my 350z 06 Gun Metal with GT pack however im struggling! I was just wondering how hard it would be to convert a non GT to a GT or if its even possible. Afaik the GT pack adds the Bose sound system, leather interior and cruise control. Is that it? If so my only worry would be the sound system. A guys selling the Bose out of a 350z, would i require all the loom that comes with a GT packed car or not? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 To be honest, you'd be better replacing the ICE with aftermarket stuff. Then a nice leather retrim on the seats. You could replace the seats with GT seats and get heated seats in etc but not sure how hard this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 To be honest i wouldn't worry about the bose. Its nothing special. Most members on here have upgraded to aftermarket systems and have reported much better sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 the GT pack included: Rays alloys 18" Full electric, heated leather seats Cruise control Full bose 6 speaker sound system My advise would be by the best car you can find in the best condition with the lowest miles possible for the cash you have. lots of people with the GT's change out alot of the parts. -The wheels are fairly easy to source as people seem to sell them when upgrading (you could save the hassle and just upgrade to aftermarkets) -Seats can be recovered for about £450 and you can choose your own leather and any embossing, embroiding piping colors etc, all your miss is the heated seat bit, and i'm sure that could be added. -cruise control is good, but if you have a car in good nick then its a small luxury to loose. -sound system alot of people with the bose unit actually swap it out for aftermarket units, as they sometimes suffer with the odd problem. you could get your self a very decent aftermarket unit and new speakers at a good price and possibly have a better sounding system. just depends on what you want. try 2 versions and see what you really want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc0r Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks for the fast response! I can get hold of black seats too, cant imagine it would be to difficult to replace. I assume im right about the GT pack just been the 3 added features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You could put the bose in but most people strip them out anyway because they aren't really as 'premium' as the badge would suggest. You can also install the satnav but again there are better, cheaper options. you can add the leather seats and they will be motorised but AFAIK you cannot get the heated bits to work. Not sure about the cruise control but the JDM doesnt come with it and it cannot be added. May be the same for UK cars. If you really want a GT, wait for one as it will cost you a fortune for all of the parts seperately. If you want a 'better' sound system and satnav you are best to go with a non-gt car as its easier to remove the non gt stereo than the bose (due to amps and satnav etc) nurrish sells satnavs for about half the price of the birdview that runs igo (i think) and are a lot better. Anyway, whichever way you go, good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a £1000 option before '06 when the became standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Save up and get yourself some nice recaro's or something and stick an after market HU in. As said, alot of the people with the GT kit have upgraded their seats/stereo's anyway. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 +1 on the going with base and then upgrading... But not to the GT stuff! Go aftermarket! Unless your not into modding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc0r Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Im all for modding as long as its tasteful. Thanks for you help lads, youve pretty much made my mind up on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have the GT seats in my non GT car but as has been said, all the extra toys dont work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You would need a new interior loom and BCM. Cruise control is controlled by the ECU I believe therefore potentially new ECU. With the leather you could retrofit heated element as its just a 12v +ve /Gnd required but it would be hard to make it look neat. Bose needs a different loom aswell as you're going to 7 speakers. It can be done but depends how much time/effort and most importantly money you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have the GT seats in my non GT car but as has been said, all the extra toys dont work on it. So the loom isnt all connected up then? I did notice a plug that wasnt used when I removed my cloth seats and asummed that was the power and part of the connector for the heat... Would be odd for them not to put the wires in the loom... Also there may be a fuse that needs to be added? Just a thought. (Only reason I say this is cause the wires on the reverse are wired up for fog, indicators and reverse on both sides so fine for all countries, you just need to add or change pins around in the loom plug...) Knew the heat wouldnt work as there are no switches in the centre console but thought that might join the circuit up when plugged in. I take it you have the heater switches?
