Default why is it taking nissan so long to announce 05 changes?

g35 changes were announced almost two months ago. makes me wonder if one of the changes they will announce is a feathering fix, which if announced too prematurely could greatly affect 04 sales? obviously a hp bump could do the same, but that didn't stop them from announcing the g35 changes.

You can bet your last dollar Nissan will not admit to a feathering fix, because that would indicate the 2003s & 2004s had a problem.

I, as well as alot of others, got a letter from Nissan specifically about this problem...The are even extending the suspension warranty if the car is still stock or has nismo wheels, etc....

You don't get my point, Nissan's TSB and extended tire warranty blame tire featuring on incorrect toe settings. If they come out with a redesigned suspension in 2005 they will not advertise it as a fix for feathering, because that would indicate the previous 350Zs had a problem.

I wish we could find out one way or the other. I have been waiting a month to make a decision on what kind of Z I get based on what changes there are in 05. I'm tired of waiting...

it sounded a lot like you were saying nissan is not likely to acknowledge the feathering problem, which they already have. if you were making some other point, then i don't think anyone got it.

The changes that Nissan made are called a euro-tuned suspention that helped to improve ride quality. I'm sure it was a fix.

Yellow is the new color. Name to be determined.
The Navi's processor has been bumped to produce faster calcs.
Side view mirror surface change. All models heated mirors std.
Seat back latch (driver only).
Also, the Navi is now available only on the touring.
HP bumped to 315HP by way of induction, exaust & ECU flash.





I Had you going for a bit.

Everything stated above is per a dealers CPO Bulletin and is factual and true... EXCEPT the HP bump...

But, I hope I'm right about that!!
