Nothing major...minor interior updates is about it. Nothing engine-wise...will be 2006 before that happens.

Yea, I heard they might, repeat MIGHT, have fixed the front tire feathering problem. BUT I really doubt it.

The Z just came out, so I don't think there'll be much changes in '05. I don't see a twin turbo anytime soon, since that's mostlikely will power the new Skyline, whenever that may be.

I really dont understand that concept, why wouldn't they like every other company give 350z drivers the option to get a better engine. I mean its like the normal mustang and the GT or cobra, other companies do it as well. I think it would rock if they offered a twin turbo option or larger engine or something like that.

Just a thought

Also I know its not a big deal because most of you just mod the Z but to some of the less mechnically inclined it may be a valuable option and a good way to help Nissan make this car even better.

Because SKYLINE GTR is coming, so due to the marketing, you don't want overlap. Plus Z32 Twin Turbo did not do to well back then.

Nissan does not want to price theirselves out of the market AGAIN.....such as so with Toyota and the Supra's demise....that really sucked....

but the supra is coming back as well for 2006 I believe.

The GTR skyline may be on the same platform as the Z...just restyled and have a TT powerplant.

The G35 coupe in Japan IS known as the skyline coupe....its just a intermediate car while they are designing the NEW skyline i think.....well what the heck to I know..i am just rambling LOL
