If I've heard correctly, the GS4s have slightly better mileage than GS3s. A well tuned and FI'd GS4 is pretty hard to beat. Better boosted than GS3 cuz extra displacement allow less turbo lag and more torque.

*sigh* 2JZ is badass...only until the tuned 4UZ-FE is out for the possible new Supra...(400+hp NA?)

I would venture to say that it all depends on the person and the cash flow. If your going to drop money on a G35 then I can guess that money isnt a top concern. GS400 with intake, headers, and exhaust will be a nice daily drive with low to no maintaince. But I know what a twin turbo can do and I want a GS300 so I can drop a 2jzgte into it, my only issue is smog. I just sold a TT Supra and moved into a GS400 and love it because its totally relable. If you go with a NA Turbo you need time, money, and the knowledge to work on the car. Ask your self if you want a car or a project.
Car = GS400
Project = GS300 with 2jzgte 450wrhp for around $1500 in bolt ons.

Gs400 with srt air intake, ecu, exhaust, torque converter=$2500
Reliablilty= Priceless
I'd go with the GS400 with the lite mods. Just get a GS4 with low miles.
