Well a lot of people are changing their headlights and taillights in their 05 and down G35s, so it's a little hard to distinguish what year each G35 is now. So, just from looking at an outside of a G35 coupe, you have to somewhat guess now.
Very informative and good post.

If you can see under the hood that closely, you can see the interior.
I will give you that the intirior did change with the year models...but i agree, Alot more people are swapping parts from other year model. I even plan on putting 06 headlights, and 04 brembo brakes on my 05. I wont debate the year model + trans method. Just saying that this give definitive proof....The engine cant lie....and im sorry but popping the hood takes 2 seconds.
And why are you putting Brembos on your 05? Waste of money if you're looking for better performance, but if it's the BBK look you're after, then go for it.

i can tell pretty easily the front bumper is different and if its an aftermarket bumper the hood has 1 "stripe" down the middle and if its an AF hood then headlights are slightly a different shape and i dont think many 03-04 owners are doing whole front end converstions to 2005+

I am in the process of hunting a G35 down here in Hawaii, But I have to sell my 05 Nissan Xterra first. Is the revup engine that much better and why, other than the obvious hp increase. Thanks. I have been here and lurking and learning a lot on what to look for when I buy my G35. Ps if anyone wants to buy an Xterra I have a BAD A$$ one I am selling. But I'm in Hawaii and most of you are not and shipping is a pain lol
Edit: I searched and read for many hours today on it and found what I needed. Learned a lot, not only the difference but on everything else. Very knowledgeable site with some great info. I do have some more questions though but I will keep a searching and a learning. I don't even have a G35 yet but I am already have a LARGE to do list when I do find the right one after I sell my Xterra.

Hello everyone I recently bought my 2007 G35 5spd shiftable AT. (still an AT I know). I recently talked to Tony at Motordyne engineering who told me that i have an up-rev motor as well. Not sure if this is true. But here are some pics anyways.

I own a 2007 G35 coupe AT. Is this an uprev engine? I also wanted to know what temperatures require you to need an Iso plenum spacer cooper? I live in MD and it does snow, but it doesn't get that cold. Will I be alright with getting the spacer without the cooper?
This is Tony's response:
Hi Sean,
If it’s a single intake, yes. If you drive in snowy conditions, I do recommend the copper.
Tony did tell me it was an uprev engine and i was confused because i did read this entire forum, and I know that i do have a single intake system. This is why i posted on this forum to see if this was a mistake. I know I am new to this site but i am not stupid.

What is an uprev engine??
UPREV : Software for tuning VQ engines
REVUP : Updated version of the VQ35DE
UPREV is not REVUP....
