Superior Nissan - City of Industry, CA has a 2004 350Z Coupe (CS Touring) @ MSRP on the salesfloor.

Except for the NAV door, it is VERY hard to tell the difference between the two model years.

Stop on by and take a look...

Thanks for the post

If anyone goes and checks it out, can you look for a key or switch for the passenger air bags ?
Suppose to be standard on/off switch on the 04's....

Thanks

 

Any pics???

 

The NAV door 2004 Coupe I saw yesterday opens and closes much like a garage door. It is not necessary to pull the door then close it.

I didn't notice any other changes.

 

The new Nav. door pivots right at the top and sticks straight out. Same principal as the console lid. It doesn't slide into the dash anymore. It act as a sun/glare shield which could be a good thing.

 

Yea...Show us pictures of the auto Nav. door. Will there be a auto Nav. door for a Z without Nav?

 

Can we switch it from our 2003 cars....at no cost hopefully?

 

It's not "auto". You push the spot just like the original and it swings up.

 

Don't know how much of the inner box is removable. The one I got to see was in a sold car so I snuck in real quick while it was unlocked. Something tell me that it's part of the center stack.

 

what do the knee pads look like?

 

havent seen the 04 nav door, but i like the way our nav doors slide into the dash, out of the way

 

I looked for the pad but I could not tell the difference.

I can't find any knee-pads in mine. I'll post pics of the door tomorrow if I find some time when I'm not driving it

 

I spent a good amount of time in 2004 Base coupe trying to find the knee pads. They aren't there. What is there though are seatbelt extenders on both sides. This prevents the annoying rattle. These parts will be available to 2003 owners according to my service department.

 

I think these are the knee pads .... shown in the lower right corner of the picture in the JDM Nissan FairladyZ catalog for 2003.

These were optional... for Yen 32,000 or abou $ 275. Per the description... for high speed track or circuit driving.. Nissan test drivers used them as well.

 

HEre is the new nav door:

 

don't like the new nav door. It sticks out to much when open. I kinda like the way the 03's have the nav door retracting inside.

Just my 0.02..

 

glad i have the 03 with that nav door...

can you get those knee pads as a new item...

 

another observation from the pic.. is the Head Unit darker? It looks like it's black in color compared to the dash??

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good observation!!

all dials look BLACK rather then dark dark dark grey!! even the controls for the whipers...

hrmmm
