Nissan 350Z
Z33 350Z
The Z33 split mid-life: cars up to 2006 run the VQ35DE, 2007 and 2008 run the VQ35HR. The two are not the same engine, so intake, exhaust and engine-bay parts do not always carry across.

DE or HR: it changes what fits
The Z33 changed engine mid-life. Cars to 2006 run the VQ35DE, 2007 and 2008 run the VQ35HR. Suspension, aero and body panels fit the whole run, but intake, exhaust manifold and engine-bay parts often do not.

Common questions
Fitment and series
What is the difference between a DE and an HR 350Z?
Cars built for 2003 through 2006 use the VQ35DE engine. Cars built for 2007 and 2008 use the VQ35HR, which is a different engine with revised heads, a higher redline and a taller intake package. Because of that, intake, exhaust manifold and engine-bay parts are frequently specific to one or the other. Suspension, most aero and body panels generally fit the whole run.
Which model years does the Z33 cover?
The 350Z ran from 2003 to 2008 in the United States on the Z33 chassis. Nissan facelifted the car for 2006 and changed the engine for 2007, so the 2003-2006 and 2007-2008 cars differ in more than trim.
Will a 350Z part fit a 370Z?
Usually not. The 370Z is the Z34, a different chassis with a different engine. A small number of parts genuinely span both and those listings say so explicitly, naming 350Z and 370Z together.
Do you carry LS swap parts for the 350Z?
Yes. We stock driveshafts for the common transmission choices, swap mounts, oil pans, power steering and fuel lines, and swap headers.
Are the body kits complete kits or single pieces?
Both. Full multi-piece kits and individual lips, side skirts, spoilers and diffusers are listed separately, and each listing states what is included.
Can you confirm fitment before I order?
Yes. Tell us the model year and whether the car is a DE or an HR and we will confirm what fits. We install what we sell at our shop in Thousand Oaks, California.
Not sure whether yours is a DE or an HR?
Send us the year and VIN and we will confirm the engine and what bolts on.
