It is kinda B5 that Nissan put those wheels on the base. I just got my 35th and was pumped about the wheels. Now everyone will have them. Well, at least I have the floor mats for the extra cash.....oh wait, I can buy them to on line for alot less than the 35th anniv package was......LOL anyway, I still love my ZED.

I guess before I went crazy with changing parts I would want to know what Nissans position in this is. I assume for the moment there isn't one except for the same bandaide fix of alignment and tires. I would be very intereseted to know if you think the new parts will address the feathering problem. I still love my redline 03 and am not in a hurry to say goodbye.
I think the new Tie Rod Ends will alow for the feathering problem to fix...
We will see what happens...
Everything in the front suspension is the same from 2004.5 and up... but the differences between 2003-2004.5 arent that big... and the same tie rod ends have been used up until 2006

there are a couple more rear moldings to quiet down road noise I havent talked about yet.. but that isnt that much weight just plastic...

the fender lining and under engine cover look thicker and stronger... they probably weight a couple of pounds more...

I stopped by my local dealership here in Daly City, CA, and they have one black 2006 Z in stock. I LOVE the rear tailights, but the front headlights are "eh"... I dislike how the side strip is gone now on it and how the top blinker part of it has a dimple pattern on it...almost cheapens the look of it. You folks will see what I mean when you check it out in person...but of course, to each opinion, their own!
