What were the body stylying revisions in 2006?

I believe in 2006 the 350Z went through a revision, with a new engine under the bonnet, but also some (minor) body styling changes?

 

Anyone got a list of those changes? Was hoping to find an article online with photo comparisons but couldn't find anythign!?

Just to confuse you even more :p the new bonnet isn't a 2006 thing, it didn't happen until 2007 when the HR engine was released. All the other changes happened in 2006 for the DE Rev-Up engine.

Well, from that I can see, ignoring under the bonnet, the only exterior physical change is the bonnet, which changed in 2007?

 

And then the interior changes in 2006?2007?

Basically the interior is the main cosmetic difference, and that changed along with everything except the bonnet in 2006. The easiest way to spot a 2006 over an earlier car is the little dip in the bottom lip of the front bumper (the bumper changed for 2006), but if you look closer the front and rear lights are different too. For me the external changes aren't worth spending the extra money for, but the interior and the improved engines definitely are.

2006 exterior changes: LED rear lights, re-designed front bumper (including diff shape reflectors).

2007 exterior changes: Bonnet (to accomodate the VQ35HR engine which sits higher than the DE).

 

2006 Interior changes: Different leather seats, door cards, centre console (from the back of the prop tunnel all way up to the dash), stronger and better tactile plastics used

 

Full list of 2006 changes as from Nissan:

While the HR engine's highest point is higher requiring the bonnet bulge, it's centre of gravity is 15mm lower. Doubt that makes much real world difference though.
