for a little more description, if your VIN ends with a number 16000+ (I think thats the number) its a 04.5, if its below that its an 04.

I'm not sure about how many zeros follow the 16, but I know its 16000, or 1600 or soemthing like that.

There are some 04s with knee pads. All of the 04.5s have the pads.

Here's the only REAL way to tell....

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)

If the letter before the 6 digit serial number is "M" instead of "T", it's a 2004.5 because it was produced at the Oppama plant.

I'm looking into getting a z with this vin #. I just want to make sure it's 04.5 or 04 before buying.

There was a half-year model release. Changes significant enough to make a difference between the 2003-2004 and 2005 models. Same thing happened in 2006 with the 2006.5 model - it's main (and maybe only) difference is the intelligent air bag system.

You might want to read the reply from a few months back that says....

Here's the only REAL way to tell....

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)

If the letter before the 6 digit serial number is "M" instead of "T", it's a 2004.5 because it was produced at the Oppama plant.
So, with your VIN, where do you think you fall?

BTW, thanks to DavesZ#3 for that bit about the "M" instead of the "T". Somehow I missed that when I was looking at the FAQs.
