Dan2013 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 All, Just a quick one, what are the differences between the above cars, the 2004 early model 350z 279 and the facelifted 2006/56 300 model? Obviously there is the BHP difference, but are there any other changes? Thanks Dan Quote
ChrisS Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 This has been discussed dozens of times. I would suggest you try searching in various sub forums. Quote

aidan Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Torque drops, power increase, slightly better interior, LED rear lights. Quote
JetSet Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Redesigned front bumper, Upgraded headlights, Rays standard fitting. One thing not often mentioned is that the facelifts gain an extra 70 kgs for some strange reason so the extra 20 bhp is mainly negated. Pete 1 Quote

They are in lbs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_350Z#Models 70kgs is certainly a considerable amount of weight for what was a just a facelift so there must have been a lot of undocumented chassis changes.

aidan Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) or maybe the extra weight was in the engine redesign - stengthened to get that extra few ponies? - but even then 70KG is a lot. Edited March 27, 2014 by aidan Quote
