difference between 04 - 05 G35x

I currently own an 04 G35x. I saw that the 05 and 06's got more power from the factory. And of course a new interior and a few exterior differences. I was just wondering if people knew how exactly the 05 - 06 G35's got more power and if it was possible to increase my 04 to that power with factory. I am looking to get a little more power in the G35 and I know the basic upgrades. I am very new on the *** side of cars. I had a VW jetta before this and followed the german scene. I have read as many posts are a could because i know how it is to get new members that just post the first question they have.

and also I was looking to get the Nismo aero kit and spoiler for my G35x. I was wondering where do I buy it? I looked around and couldn't find it.

The 20hp increase on crank is hardly noticeable.
Most 05 & 04 running on quater miles about the same.

It's mostly the look, a lot better on 05/06. They also worked out
some issues with first production run 03/04 model.

05 got slightly bigger brakes I believe.

One other thing, the resale value on 05 may be better, as people
prefer a model change

The 06 G35x has the larger brakes (larger rotors (12" or so) and the dual piston calibers up front)

They all pretty much dyno similar WHP. Some say the 03/04 260HP was underated and the 05/06 280HP was a tad overrated.

The brakes were upgraded bigger in the 05/06 for the RWD models but the X brakes were the same as 04. The 06 G35X recieved the upgraded brakes.
