How to spot a rev up engine *PICS*
Ok guys....after doing my research and alot of looking, I finally had the chance to view these two cars sitting next to each other. And i got pics this time to prove it.
The Rev up motor with 298hp has variable cam timing on the exhaust side as well as the intake side. The non-rev up motor with 280hp only has it on the intake side. So to put this to rest once and for all....here is the easiest way to tell.

Btw....as a side note. I also learned that the rev up motor only came in the 05-07 G35 w/6spd mt, and the anniversary edition 350Z. So for those of us that were lucky/un-lucky (depending on how you feel about it) enough to get one with this engine, its actually kinda rare.

All 5ATs - non-revup
03-04 6MTs - non-revup
05-07 6MTs - revup

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 have a 6MT w/ brushed aluminum interior - revup.
If you have a 6MT with black or silver/gray interior - non-revup.
If you have a 5AT - non-revup.

Speaking of the interior, on the dash, it says REV right in the middle. That is revup engine specific correct?

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.
