Still in work...[differences between 03/04 to 05/06]
Exterior
-Doggy Door
2003 was the only sedan with Doggy Door rear trunk lid. The Doggy Door is nicknamed that because it resembles one. The "INFINITI" is smaller and contained only on that part. It also contains the trunk release switch. The 03.5 and 04 do not have a trunk release on the back of the car. It was brought back on the 05-06 in the form of a button under the driver side tail light.
-03/04 Have the grid style tail lights 05/06 Have the twin circles
-Starting in 2003.5 HID headlights were offered
- All the body parts in front of the doors changed. They do not swap between 03/04 and 05/06 unless you change everything.
-The Hood now has a single line down the center and a slightly different shape
-The headlights are also slightly different on the outside and have a different bezel on the inside
-The grille is different
-The front bumper cover is different now painted all the way down with two larger openings on each side like the coupe
-The fenders are different to fit the new hood and headlights
-The side markers are the same
-The side skirts are now color matched
-The rear bumper cover is also color matched and is slightly more aggressive
-As mentioned above there is now a trunk release button under the driver side tail light.
-Different wheel style
Engine / Brakes / Suspension / Drivetrain
-2003-2004 (All Models) VQ35DE, Non Rev-UP 260hp/260lb-ft of torque
-2005-2006 (Automatic 5AT) VQ35DE Non Rev-Up 280hp/270lb-ft of torque
-2005-2006 (Manual 6MT) VQ35DE Rev-Up 298hp/260lb-ft of torque
I'm don't want to turn this thread into a debate on how accurate these HP/TQ numbers really are. This is what Nissan USA said they are so that's what I'm writing.
-In 2005 the brakes were upgraded to larger rotors and different pads. Many people had issues with the 03/04's undersized brakes and aggressive pads wearing out very quickly; so quickly that after several lawsuits Infiniti began offering a 3yr/36k mile brake warranty where the dealer took care of all brake maintenance.
-The struts changed in 2005, (I believe the springs stayed the same?)
-Starting in 2004 a VLSD rear differential was provided with the 6MT
Interior
2003- 2004 Has one style, 2005-2006 has another.
Main differences are:
- Gauge style changed and speedo/tach switched places
- Center HVAC display and clock changed
- 03/04 has titanium look center console, 05/06 has aluminum
- 03/04 has a button to change radio volume and temperature, 05/06 has a turn ****
- It has been said that the CD changer in the 05/06 changes faster (not sure, I use an iPod)
- Starting with 05/06 the I-key was offered
- Starting with 05/06 Bluetooth was offered
