2004.5 roadster VIN #s
For the guys who have a 04 roadster with feathering, what are your VIN #s ?
I have read that the 2004.5 roadsters have a different suspension (euro style?), and thus no feathering.
My VIN is JN1AZ36A54T010817, according to the nissan tech page thats a 2004.5
I guess basically what I am after here, if your 2004 is feathering (or has other problems), is it a 2004, or 2004.5 model?
I have not seen feathering yet, but mine does have a rough idle, gas tank filler problems, and the gas tank cap not wanting to open when you hit the button.
From the Nissan tech website:
2004 Nissan 350Z Coupe/Roadster (Coupe VINs up to D*4T160000,E*4T060000) (Roadster VINs from D*4T102001 to D*4T110000 & from A*4T002001 to A*4T010000)
2004.5 Nissan 350Z Coupe/Roadster (Coupe VINs from D*4T160001, E*4T060001) ( Roadster VINs from D*4T110001, A*4T010001)

The five digits of my VIN are 11550.
Where is that Tech page you are talking about? nissanusa.com is a crap website.. I hate trying to find stuff on there.
BTW.. haven't had any feather issue, but I've only got about 1000 miles on it so far

I was told that all the 2004 models have the new suspension.
The 2004.5 have the knee pads, console pad, different drive seat(two adjusting ***** on the side instead of one.) Different top on the roadster.
What else? There must be alot more to warrant creating two different service manuals.
I would like to get my hands on both the 2004 and 2004.5 service manuals, or find a list detailing all the minor and major changes between them. Mine is a 2004, so I'm just a little curious about the newer 2004.5 differences. Wouldn't change anything though I love my Z

I have been told several times by NNA that the suspension system is different in 04 vs 03 models. However,when I called my dealers service dep't to find out what are the differences like parts #'s etc. he said he could not find any differences.
That was some time ago so perhaps there might be differences if as you say there are different service manuals.
The soft console I believe is in reference to the NAV door. It is in appearance only softer looking that the 03's.

With a build date like yours, you must have it. Or at least you should have it.

I've got a 01/04 build, Vin 13404 and it doesn't have two adjusting ***** on the seat, they're burnt orange if that makes a diff. What does everyone else have?

I only have one **** there too. I think it's because we have the BO with the ventilation.

I thought I saw a photo of the vent seats with two ***** but I could be mistaken.
The regular seats do have two, if you have the right VIN#'s. In the Owners Manual you will see a seat "A" and a seat "B", style of seat. One with "1" adjusting **** that adjust the front of the seat cushion only. The other style has "2" which adjusts both front and back of the seat cushion.
