I was looking at the big interior picture from here and it looks like there is going to be an option to turn off the passenger side air bag.

Re: "Official" 2005 Changes
deadman: I think nuttyprof says the current sedans are already at or close to 277chp because of the dynos that have been done on stock G35s. IIRC many 6mt sedan dynos have put down around 220 - 225 rwhp. Assuming a 18% drivetrain loss that would put the crank hp at around 270-275 thus Infiniti underrating their brochure numbers. That would make sense since they probably wanted to distinguish the coupe and sedan. But like you said it will be interesting to see what changes are made to the G and the Z power wise and if we could use those parts in our cars.

IIRC someone stated that the passenger side airbag was going to be weight sensitive now. Maybe the little indicator you found is for that purpose.
And I agree, the FX wheels look great. I am not sure why they under rated them by 1.5". Probably two reasons - 20" is a nice round number, and at 21.5" people might start thinking "WTF - I bet tires for those are gonna be OUTRAGEOUS!!!"

Re: "Official" 2005 Changes
I got my G35 a little over a month ago. It never entered my mind to consider waiting for the 05' model. In hindsight, I am pleased I didn't. I think that most of the changes are insignificant at best and won't impact resale numbers greatly. The HP increase, instrument panel changes are not major. I think the new center console does look slick however.
The verdict is still out on the exterior. We need more pix! IMO, the wheels are definitely better looking on the older models and the new front bumper and taillights will probably make the sedan look more like every other car on the road. The aero side moldings are a big plus though.
Overall, I absolutely love the unique exterior looks of the older sedans and am happy that they will stand out for years to come.
Oh yeah, I'm probably one of the few people out there who is delighted to have gotten a cassette in the head unit standard. I use a 20gb Nomad Jukebox Mp3 player with it. The FM transmitters just don't cut it.
That's my 2 cents.
