Default 2005 350Z changes

I've been reading threads where people say that there won't be many major changes to the 2005 350Z, but nobody has said anything about the changes. They just say it in general.

Does anybody really know what changes are going to be made and if so can you list them here.

Thanks!

NOS will be standard. The different trims will have different locations for the purge.

I believe I heard something about a "Turbo Boost" and "Super Pursuit Mode" options

The base model has the purge right beneath the passenger’s seat.

Any truth to the rumors about the Louis Vuitton interior like in the S-Class LV Kompressor?

Is the 05' body going to be completely different then the 03' and the 04' cuz I like the style that it is already. If it's going to change then I might as well get an 04'

Back to reality for a second. Autospies.com, actually a pretty reliable source, reported this week that the g35 will get a power bump to 300 even for 05, as well as a new interior and some new colors. If the G35 coupe were to get a power bump I would expect one in the Z too. So my realistic prediction for 05 is a bit more power, possible interior refresh and maybe a new color or two.

Sooooo.. are they talking about 300 "Fantasy" horsepower like the 287 the Nissan claims for the 350Z, or is that 300 "Real World... dyno proven" horsepower?

Rumor is (notice I said rumor) production begins late July, orders begin early August. That should put release somewhere around September/October.

most exciting "new" features of the 2005 model will be the sporty tire featheringless suspension, easy to clean greaseless windows, and the silent as a mouse rattleless interior!

Hell.. I'd settle for doors that don't retain water. I swear that I everytime I wash my car I can't roll my windows down for like 3 days or else when they roll back up, they have water streaks all over them.

I think the question is, can Nissan say 35th Anniversary Edition?
