After the launch of G35 in 2002, a facelift came in 2005.
The facelift consisted in an improvement of the overall quality. Special attention was given to the inside of the car, with better overall trim levels. The gauges were redrawn and given better back lighting. The dashboard and center console were also redesigned, fitted with aluminum and rosewood inserts. On the outside, the disc brakes were increased and given a better design after a series of complaints on the original model. The suspension was tuned for better performance and a viscous limited slip differential was introduced.
