I have an 04 Touring. How can I tell if it is an 04.5 ? Thanks

 

the month is was made in on the ID plate, open the drivers door, look at frame if i recall corectly

 

All the date on the door jamb tells you is what month it was made, not whether it's an 04 or 04.5, unless it made early or late in the model year.

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)

 

Thanks

 

Easy. The 2004.5 has knee pads.

 

OK I'm confused. Mine is D**T163***. Is this an 04 or an 04.5 ?

 

Basically if it ends over 60000 it is a 2004.5.

In your case 63,*** is a 2004.5.

Also, like david said, if it has kneepads on the console - it's a 2004.5. (also has a second power outlet under the drink holder)

 

Yes it does have the kneepads on the console but no second power outlet under the drink holder. Just the one between the two seats above the console at the back.
