Its hard to say... I will have to check your vin again...

The shoulder belt guard is on all 04 and ups.. The knee pads just started being introduced around the .5 build date...

rite around the 06/04 mark they started doing the 07/04's... so yours could be a .5... Some 06/04's will have .5 parts and some wont.. depends on the exact date of the build...

yes, its standard on 05 and up. 05 and up also include dual uliminating vanity mirrors and side mirror defrosters as standards unlike the previous years.

The 04.5 models started with build dates 11/03 and later. My car and MIAPLAYA's cars are both 04.5's with an 11/03 build date.

I originally found the official distinction between the two on the nissan-tech.com site. You can tell in the VIN numbers:

2004 Nissan 350Z Coupe/Roadster (Coupe VINs up to D*4T160000,E*4T060000) (Roadster VINs from D*4T102001 to D*4T110000 & from A*4T002001 to A*4T010000)

2004.5 Nissan 350Z Coupe/Roadster (Coupe VINs from D*4T160001, E*4T060001) ( Roadster VINs from D*4T110001, A*4T010001)

No, this isn't possible. You would need a different trip computer, and you'd need to install the TPS receiver and antenna, which runs inside the passenger A-pillar. I imagine all this would be horribly expensive.....

Some 04.5 parts were on vehicles with build dates as early as 08/03 and even earlier.

In the NISSAN Parts System,

07/04 is the date when all vehicles started using those parts...

Atleast this is what our parts system says which is what I am going by...

The best thing to do to be sure you have X or Y part is to check it with a VIN Number.

They aren't on all 04's. I have an 04 Touring and it doesn't have them.

That's odd. It was standard equipment on the '04 touring. Did you buy your car new? Was this maybe new for 04.5? I'm confused.

I'm a little confused myself. I bought the car used about 2 months ago and it has the heated seats, so didn't those only come on the Touring?

It is a 5AT so maybe that has something to do with it?

I think that's your problem. Doesn't it have 17" wheels too? I believe the AT Touring Z's sacrificed the 18" wheels and TPS for the automatic trans.

I have an 04 Touing AT and mine has 18" wheels but I don't have TPS. Maybe because mine is a Roadster??
