03 vs 03.5 What's the difference?
 

Hey guys,

I see that you distinguish between and 03 and an 03.5 sedan. What is the difference?

the 3.5 has a sat button on the deck which the 03 doesnt. Thats all i know, i think they have fixed some problems on the 3.5.

Do a search, you'll find a ton of info on it.

Here are the basic items:

Trunk latch was deleted
Infiniti stitching was added to seats
Aux AC added to passenger side
SAT button was added

they all so started making MT in the Sedan

The trunk changed from the doggie-door style (03) to the smooth style with only the name/logo on it (03.5). I have an 03 and, when I got it, there was just a blank filler between the VDC on/off button and the display brightness knob. There was also just a blank filler on the passenger side power outlet/cubby panel. I've since added both the internal trunk release and the passenger-side outlet. I think those were the only differences between the 03/03.5: trunk style, trunk release, passenger-side power outlet.

Can an admin or mod please sticky this? Seems like this discussion keeps coming up once a day.

There are lots of engineering changes (including the engine) in addition to the cosmetics noted in the other posts.

There are two 2003 AT Sedan Models covered in the Factory Service Manual. Here are the VIN Numbers for the Type 1 and Type 2 cars.

Type 1 = From serial #000001 through 099999 to serial 329287 except for 327918, 327920, 327976, 327978, 328979, 329004, 329025, 329078.

Type 2 = For serial 327918, 327920, 327976, 327978, 328979, 329004, 329025, 329078 and from serial 329288 on.

While I've only seen a couple of Type 1 - 300000 serial numbered cars, they looked like Type 2 cars cosmetically but were Type 1 under the skin.
