I recently purchased what I thought to be a 05 Base, and I didn't think anything more of it. Though recently I've been trying to procure more information dealing with my car. I took it into nissan to buy some touch-up paint and they said they'd have to special order "Super Black" because its the 35th Anni. This surprised me.

I was wondering, if and how I could tell if my Z is in fact a 35th or just the basic 05 base.

Thanks to all in advance

This was discussed recently, read this:

The seats are black cloth, and the side emblems are normal brushed aluminum, base 05 then?

 

Are there any cruise control buttons on the steering wheel? That is a dead giveaway.

Sounds like the dealership you went to has no idea what they're talking about.

 

The steering wheel is button free, completely.

 

It is a Base, 100%. Go to another Nissan dealership. Lol.

 

Gotcha. Thanks

I'm looking into building it. Albeit oil consumption at the rate of about a Quart every 750-1000 miles, what other problems should I look for to fix, BEFORE dumping money on kits/exhaust/Paint

 

Do you have cruise control, traction control, or aluminum pedals?

failure.

 

You should get a quaife differential for your base. I have a 07 base and that is one of the first mods I did and probably the most noticeable mods besides power mods. Here is link

This differential is better than the vlsd one in the other z models.
