2004 V35 Coupe Interior

[win4ever]

Hi everyone. I have finally got my v35 coupe today! Won an auction in japan n the car will be with me in 4 to 6 wks time. Super excited. It's a 2004 model done 35k km. Anyway I noticed that the interior of the car looks slightly different than the usual 2003 model. I thought the 2003/04 model is the same? Mine seems to have a slightly different layout. Eg. I think mine has a md player rather than a cassette player. Also the hazard like button is next to the gear stick instead and air cond vents r also lower.

May I know if there has been a slight facelift between the 03 and 04 model? It seems like this fits more of the description of an 05 model as I read somewhere they changed the cassette player to md player. Can anyone plz confirm this? Are the car with this interior any different to those of the usual 03 models?

Thanks!

Slight changes to the center console fascia, but majority is the same.

Thanks g33k! So there was a minor facelift on the 2004 cars then? Then gear knob looks cooler!

Without seeing actual pics, i'd suggest you actually have a S2. I seem to recall they came in late (Nov/Dec?) 2004.

Here's the picture of the interior....

From the other posts, I think it looks like an S2.

Anyone can help in giving some advice on whether are there any issues with an S2 compared to the S1? Someone was saying there's some fuel burning issue but that's for the rev-up engines in the Infiniti's in the US. Apart from this, it seems like people are saying the S2 has a nicer interior and some of the niggling electrical issues in the S1 has been sorted.

Can anyone with a S2 confirm this?

Thanks so much!

S2 has a LOT less electrical bugs.

That seems like good news for me then Chris (assuming mine IS a S2 which I am still uncertain).... Anyone has any updates with regards to the excessive oil burn issue? Seems like it's only an issue for the Rev-up infiniti's in the US, no?

Thanks!
