Default Differences in rear subframe question

I was reading in a magazine the other day and it was stated that the rear subframe changes between the years. Are all the years the same or do they change?

I read that too, in the most current DSport. Here's the page:

If anyone knows the year to year differences that would be awesome. Article says suspension geometry improvements, I haven't heard anything about this till now. I just installed the Sikky subframe bushings that raise the subframe a half inch, I will be dissapointed if my 07 subframe isn't the newest revision.

I have an 05 G35 coupe, I broke my sub-frame and installed a 04 350z sub frame. they definitely did not change between z33 and V35. The biggest change I noticed while working on these cars is the V35 and V36 sub frame are different , the material is no longer aluminum, the bracing is much smaller, I would assume because they used a stronger material.

In general the z33/v35 sub frame is about 20-25LB, how much lighter could they have made it.

They have the same part number 55400, but there looks like something was possibly superseded. Call courtesy parts, they will know for sure.

Actually, the part numbers have changed over the years.
