So if the G35 coupé get 18 more HP, does the 350Z also get it?

 

[ShobThaBob]

Any idea on the price changes? That is awesome news overall, thanks

I'm really starting to warm up to the V35 Skyline. It's turning into a sweet car.

auto123.com has posted a Preview of the car, two pictures, but they don't show any changes. 👎

Actually, the info on the '05 Coupes and Sedans has been posted at NissanNews.com for a long time now. A ton of high-res '05 coupe pictures of the exterior and interior can be found here, and the sedan's can be found here. As a coupe owner myself, I'm really not all that crazy about the changes, other than the added power. The new interior looks OK but some elements (such as the new location of the clock) don't do much for me. The new 19's also look terrible, I would rather have the stock 18's.

 

[ND4SPD]

you really don't like them Jordan? I think they look ok. They kinda look aftermarket.

 

[sUn]

Wow, that G35 look's suped up. 👍

 

[lethalAE86typeR]

Nice! I've been having my eye on this car for a while. I like it a lot. i hope i can get it. but im only 15.haha.

I actually like the new interior better than the last one. The wheels I could care less about, since I would probably end up changing them to HREs anyway.
Almost 20 more horsepower is always welcome

Probably.

They still didn't fix the volume button loaction!

 

[Victor Vance]

Probably.

Probably not. The Z had 289 or 290 hp I think so the gain would be smaller.

Haha, you're right! I hadn't even noticed that. Of course, I think I've probably pushed my volume button no more than dozen times after a year. I use the steering wheel controls for everything, the location actually isn't a big deal. It's actually perfect for when you want your passenger to control the audio.

Probably not. The Z had 289 or 290 hp I think so the gain would be smaller.

The 2005 350z Track model gets 300hp (the $45k 04' R-tune makes 305hp) and the redline gets bumped up to 7200 rpm. Same with the 2005 35th anniversary edition I think. The other models stay the same at 287hp.

When my dad purchased his G35 sedan the car salesman told us that an F1 driver helped to design the car. I am guessing that the volume button is on the right side of the car because in Europe they drive on the left side of the road with the driver on the right side of the car so the button would be next to the driver. That is probably why the volume button is on the right side of the car. When we bought the car here in America, they changed the drivers side, but not the volume button side.

...the car salesman told us that an F1 driver helped to design the car...

They'll say anything to make a sale. I dont know if this is true or not, but even if it was, it is more than a little likely that the salesman was just making it up on the fly (if he's anything like any of the car salesmen I've met--usually I kknow more about the car then they do).

 

[cardude2004]

That statement didn't really matter, as it wasn't going to change his mind, even if it was false. He had already bought the car and wanted the car when he said it.

Well I have spoken to my cousin who has a 2003 Nissan 350Z (Performance model), he said that he is not concern about the 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe at all. Even with the extra HP, he said it would not make a big difference and everyone knows that. The G35 will still weigh more than a Z and would most likely be slower than a Z.

Anyways, G35 are more luxuries. So with more luxury add more weight right.

G35 Coupe looks sexy. For some reason I think the sedan look horrible compared to the Coupe one. The taillights are a tad different and overall, I just dislike the sedan.

I don’t mind 4 doors at all, but for some reason I really rather enjoy the G35 with 2 doors. I have no problem with the WRX having 4 doors. If it had 2, I wouldn’t mind either.

 

[RB26DETT]

anybody know how the extra hp was made? exhaust intake, etc...

 

[pimp racer]

I like the color and the rims looks pretty cool.
