@The_D0C70R - If you really want to get one, try and get it as soon as possible. The upcoming 400Z is putting the Z lineup back on the map, so demand is going up and because the price bottomed out a year or two ago, youngsters could afford it then crash it, supply is going down. So naturally the price has started to rise and will keep rising.
What motor/year you looking for? I'd only get an HR...but it depends on your goals. Love me some Z. I've owned 4 in my lifetime. Still have my 78 280z and 07 350.
You are correct! Not a major difference in the parts available for the DE and rev up, but you're absolutely right :-) To get specific, i believe in 05 only the 35AE with 6MT and the Track model got the revup, and all other '05's had the 287hp version of the DE. Anyway, still no major departure on the parts/mods.
@@eladiomarquez also true. When we’re making these videos we have to decide between 15 minutes to cover the basics... or 4 hours if we wanted to cover every nuance :-)
I've had my '04 since '04...zero probs, zero oil consumption, just turned over the 200,000 mark and EVERYTHING works no chk engine lights...even the infamous door handles work perfectly. Treat your car right and keep up on maintenance. The engine is still a monster no reason I can't keep it for another 200,000😃
@@shadwe11 It's a 2008 coupé but was registered in January '09 so must have been one of the last out the factory, it's on the higher end of mid-range miles at around 86K. I got myself an Audi R8 (V8 manual) almost 2 years ago and as much as I wanted to keep both I'm realising that I just can't justify the running costs of 2 cars that are so much alike. Damn near every good aspect of the 350Z is similar or better in the R8 and it's SOOO much more daily drivable than the 350Z that I end up taking the R8 out 9 out of 10 times. The only thing it falls seriously short on is the Z's modding potential (and the cost delta between Z and R8 mods lol) but I'm still enjoying the options that are available.
I got a 06 rev up a couple weeks ago and with all the hate of people saying "should've waited for the HR"I still love my rev up and it's a fun drift car
Tuned my 350z with so much now after 5 years, looking back the best upgrade was the clutch, I initially went with a sports/road clutch and what a difference, since then I've had the car supercharged and had to go with an ACT clutch which is heavy but appropriate.
Yes my 03 350z Enthusiast has had most of the problems in the Fairlady's 21 years and 358,000 miles in soCal and the last decade in Central Cal. She's always been worth fixing! Still drives strong drinks a bit of Amsoil and is ready for new suspension parts as the Coilovers from Meagan work very nicely towards my goal of not needing to brake for most curves and corners. The 6 speed is nicely able to step down the speed with some warning. the drilled and grooved Brake kits from stillen really saved lots of effort with great braking that lasts about 100,000 miles between pad changes. I did have their master brake bracket installed and new steel braid brake lines and fluid changes when changing I tried the Blue Hawk and ther was more dust and cost and the braking is better with Stillen Semi Steel pads. I tried an ACT HD clutch about 5 years back and seem to be ready to upgrade to the 6 Puck upgrade as the stock clutch lasted around 15 years and still had life in it. But I was tempted and pleased with the lighter flywheel and new clutch. what a great driving difference. I've had a rodent eat the ribbon cable for the HVAC controls and another climb into the HVAC fan box to meet their end and take the fan a little off perfect. I replaced it later. I replaced the stock Tunes with a Kenwood unit and should have more compatible speakers just after the holiday. I've worn out the drivers Orange leather seat twice. Stillen also provided better adjustable sway bars. I had a weird fuse blow somewhere in a fender well and got to drive with no gauges for a while while that got sorted out. I haven't changed the timing chains but I did get the stock size but aluminum lower weighted Pulleys for the accessories. Those belts are on their 3rd set of belts. I found a great deal on some kind person who wanted shinier wheels and left the drop forged 18" wheels for sale for $100. the 18 feel lighter than the 17's but I think they cost me a little bit of MPG which I enjoyed around 27 MPG mixed with 70% freeway but now on 2 lane roads and 18" wheels it's more often 25 mpg combined. I still yearn to add the titanium full exhaust from Stillen and the intake as well as the spacer for the intake and another for more oil capacity underneath. Finish putting the aluminum shield back under the car to replace the plastic insulated one. The poor car did not age as well in Central Cal with the more common frozen mornings and a couple of roadkill hits on the front bumper cover now on it's third replacement. When this car stops passing CA Smog then I hope to decide on building the engine or replacing it with some forced air and fuel and going drifting. Quite a few more changes will fit in that time I hope for better performance driver seat and roll cage as well as drifting bars up front under the bumper cover and more LED lighting inside and out. the ppaint has lost it's clear coat this last year and some weird patches over the front fender in the paint will need some fixing. Also having a serious difficult time finding a ABS with TCS only replacement. I don't find VCS or power seats any use for my driving. I consider getting a 69-70 Datsun 2000 and seeing how much fun that can be or a good price on a 350z roadster with no roof and a manual transmission but they are tough to find still on the road in any fun condition to enjoy investing in. I maintain a preference of colors in Daytona Blue, Sunset Orange or Bright Silver. The rest of the other colors are fine but these three I know I like. I was hoping to get as enthused about the 2024 z car with turbo's but the cost is a good deal but far out of my putting down 45k-65K for a daily driver in an election year with current inflation. So I split up my driving with most in the Z, some in my recent addition '04 4runner while getting the steering column swapped on my 70 GMC 402 CAmper special and eventully restoring my high school favorite 64 Dodge Dart /6 4peed topless. In between my chore list of favorites the 4 HD's and Buell help lend some air when riding is possible on 2 wheels.
Should've been a list of 9 including headlights for safety reasons. For the base model DE's, they ran h7 halogens in a housing that didn't project light the best. It's SO worth dropping a couple Benjamins on an LED conversion kit for those stuck with the VQ35DE and VQ35DE REVUP

@@Dudeman9339 because they are 10000 dollars plus for just the car ??? And I bought this DE with only 80k miles 1 owner garage kept completely stock for only 7000 so with this extra 3000 it’s a total of 10000 and IM BEATING 370 HRS
I truly miss my HR. Ladies and gents i would highly suggest a 4.08 final drive upgrade on a 6MT. Worlds of torquey fun and the throttle response is amazing if you are staying all-motor... maybe @Motoroso can do a video on this... you will not reget it...
I just replaced my camshaft position sensors on my 2003 350z. It kept shutting off at red lights randomly like 1 time every few days, and would throw a sensor code for camshaft. Still drives great only 110k original miles.
@@goat3963 Yeah if your Z shuts down suddenly, then starts back up but slowly and gives you some lights. Likely is a cam sensor code it threw. Replace both, even if it only says one. Should fix it no prob.
Cam shaft and crank sensors are a must I went over a year after putting my new my new de in with my car having problems because of my sensors I had to replace all four of my major ones and things run great now
@@Xrissy10 I was an idiot and took it to Nissan.. You can buy all the sensors online and put them on yourself and will save you so much more than what I did..
Im getting a 350z within the next 6 months and i think im going to stick with motoroso for my parts and mods, i really like the information in this video.
The RJM adjustable clutch pedal will make driving a 6MT much more enjoyable and manageable. I think there is a clutch spring mod for the 370 but not sure if it is the same for a 350
Haa 😂 LMAO! Good choice, I jus chg both of mine lastweek, after 1yr of ownership an dealing with it,but it's my weekend toy so didn't bother me tht much! But wen they both fail an were stuck all the way down😨😲 ummm yeah, think it's time ! 😏😉

Was an insane video! Thanks, planning to buy myself a 350Z in 2-3 months, i live in Belgium so you are not allowed to tune much, what do you guys recommend tuning on a stock z350? Personally i think the power is good enough so if i would change something it would be the exhaust and the exterior
At this time our policy is to ship only to the lower 48 US States, BUT, if you'd like to contact us via email at support@motoroso.com, depending on what the item is, we might be able to do something custom for you.

Good evening. Great video, thank you. I have a 2008 350z NISMO, first and only owner. At now at over a decade old with only 27k miles on it, I'm beginning to play around with mods. 1st mods were fixing the poor quality interior with quality fiber interior pieces to cover the hard plastic areas. Also added a Seibon carbon fiber hood with inlets to let my CAI breathe even better. Mod's I'm interested in.....Seats....the NISMO seats are decent but the seat bolsters don't provide enough side support when driving hard. Any reccs here would be appreciated. From the mods listed in the video, I'd be interested in your take on the exhaust and suspension recommended mods in context of applying them to the Nismo version. I find the suspension in my car to be the highlight of its performance. Do you still recommend coilovers for this model? Also, same with exhaust reccs?
Hey Bryan, very nice, the Nismo 350z is super rare! The primary difference is those better interior options, the body kits, and the wheels. The Nismo did come a little lower and with stiffer springs, and the actual dampers in the car were a touch better. But yes, coilovers can be a massive improvement in ride quality, as well as giving you the ability to finely tune the ride height and damping to tune the ride exactly the way you want it to feel. Additionally, I think the sway bars on the Nismo are a bit beefier than a base 350z, but there's still room for improvement with a set of sway bars which are made from better materials, and offer adjustability to fine tune the body roll. We actually cover a lot of this in our 350z suspension video, over here: ua-cam.com/video/ACdQ832PuCg/v-deo.html And of course we carry and sell many of these products, and we'd be glad to help you choose the level of coilover suspension you want, or pick a sway bar set that fits your needs.
I'm going on 42 years old. I'm married with kids and I have a mortgage now. No longer big into the tuner has a mostly into lifted trucks now. I'm gravitating towards buying a '03 or '04 350Z... I need a car I can tune up without looking like a boy racer
You are correct! We lumped the Revup in with the DE (it is officially the "VQ35DE Revup") for the purpose of this video. We shouldn't have done that, a lot of people not happy with us about it, haha. I also mis-stated when the HR motor begins, and that was just me messing up. We actually cover the engine breakdown in more detail in our intake video which isn't out yet, but that's where it matters most in relation to the plenum spacer. Appreciate your contribution!
Does not mention Motordyne 5/16 spacer. Skunk2 is literally plastic trash and is known to leak because of this ( just look at the 10+ years on the forums) and doesnt really help with heat isolation unlike the motordyne spacer kit. Does not mention Z1 spacers, intakes, headers, or parts. Doesn't mention that both engines tend to run hot and would greatly benefit from 25 row oil cooler, and an all aluminum radiator ( also the Z1 rear coolant alum bleed nipple).
@@Motoroso not hating just saying. There are a plethora of dyno results on forums for these cars since they are old. Researching what actually makes power is important. Not to mention a tune should be included in this list as without that the headers are going to make the car run like trash.
Motordyne at 6:19 "one of the most popular in the industry" Headers at 2:57 and a full exhaust video here ua-cam.com/video/s6qaSbC_BYM/v-deo.html Intakes at 6:43 and a separate video coming today actually...
@@Z33Garage All good, we can handle a little heat. This video is intended to be a starting point for peeps just getting into their 350Z's, and if we tried to cover every nuance out there, it'd be an hour long. Plus, there's people with far deeper experience than us, yourself included. But we do really appreciate your contributions here. Was just a little surprising cause we did mention many of the things you called us out on.
@@Motoroso i was just being specific on the actual brands you recommended instead of the ones that have better track records in the Z community. Hence the Z1 parts, and motordyne specifically .
Cold pod intake ..? what about he lag when driving at high rpm thru the mountains ,, off and on and off the gas ,, pods dont have the dead air zone as the factory air box has , I have had both , and pod filter was not nice , seamed like turbo lag without the turbo
I disagree on borla for the 3.5, Tuning is more difficult to find compared to a mustang/Camaro. I recommend a true dual exhaust and lighter flywheel vs stock dual mass. Cold air intake best on infinity, Z already bare bone. Don't put a larger TB on stock motor. You will lose power. Plenum spacer best on 03-05. Coilovers #1, then wheels #2, #3 brakes are a must.
i’m thinking about getting a 350z for my first car? don’t know if i shoulf i’ve always wanted a nice sounding car and it too look nice and i’ve always wanted one of these and it seems like the perfect fit just don’t know what i should get i saw a 2003 with 100,000 miles for 11k don’t know if that’s a good deal but is in my price range and is in my area any ideas?
So I checked your site for the Skunk2 intake plenum. Your video says that it comes with the spacers for the strut tower but on your website it does not. ?
Hey, you're absolutely right, our listing was very unclear about that. I've added another phot that shows the full kit, and enhanced the description to be more detailed. it does include the spacers: www.motoroso.com/p/112377-skunk2-racing-307-07-0400-composite-plenum-spacer?lid=1705234
If I’m going for looks and not really speed but if I want to add some I could always do little stuff. should I just go for the DE? For the price difference I think DE is the way to go for me I want for looks more then speed but if I ever want to add a little power I can add a intake and headers and other little add ons! What do you guys think?
hey if you still wanting to this answer to this question a HR is always better if you can afford it. it has roughly 4x stronger internals than a DE just more reliable in general
The 350z is my dream car I’m happy I got around 28 grand set aside till I’m 18 I saw one for 16 grand that looked good on Kiji and if I have a job when I’m 18 that 28 grand is free money buy mods with my job money buy a car with the free money
What mods could I use from this list to put on a 350gt 2007 model ? Pretty sure they’re the same engine I know that 2007 models for come with the hr so would this work out ?
Hi dude, I recently installed the Skunk2 plenum spacer in my 350z, disappointed to read in the manual I cannot keep the important strut tower bar, are there any aftermarket strut tower bars that will fit instead? Using washes doesnt work either as the car begins to rattle/shake abit...
I’m planning to get a Z soon, the algorithm has done well.
Edit: I got it!
Bought one last week.. :D

Blowing out the engine with a bigger Valoot power around 6 to 700 hp. I have a mastergrade wide body kit on it. Custom head lights compleat lighting system. There are more things just a sample.
New bumper and canards that look good on it are a must
Also a short throw shifter can feel nicer....and don't forget the extra 10hp you get from install. ;)
Ehhhh
These translate to a G35 perfectly also.
Thankyou for making this! Super helpful
Just got my 350z 35th anniversary edition and I can’t wait to drive it!!!! (Needs an ecu)
Just dropped 3000 on my 04 DE getting it tuned soon going full bolt on !
why? trade in for a 37vhr.
@@Dudeman9339 because they are 10000 dollars plus for just the car ??? And I bought this DE with only 80k miles 1 owner garage kept completely stock for only 7000 so with this extra 3000 it’s a total of 10000 and IM BEATING 370 HRS

I truly miss my HR. Ladies and gents i would highly suggest a 4.08 final drive upgrade on a 6MT. Worlds of torquey fun and the throttle response is amazing if you are staying all-motor... maybe @Motoroso can do a video on this... you will not reget it...
Awsome video, when I buy my z I will 100% use This video and website to buy my parts!
Thanks Matt! Glad you found it helpful!
Awesome video and info.
I just replaced my camshaft position sensors on my 2003 350z. It kept shutting off at red lights randomly like 1 time every few days, and would throw a sensor code for camshaft. Still drives great only 110k original miles.
Does it drive better now? I just bought my Z and it has the same problem
@@goat3963 Yeah if your Z shuts down suddenly, then starts back up but slowly and gives you some lights. Likely is a cam sensor code it threw. Replace both, even if it only says one. Should fix it no prob.
Make sure you get nissan oem. I have had issues with ebay/Amazon sensors
@@djlunatikx You can get the oem on amazon, you just need to know what they use. Buy Hitachi, not Dorman or some off brand. Obviously.
This help out so much finding the parts I need. 💯💯💯
Heck yeah new sub here!!
Awesome video , thank you
Sweet vid man
Thanks! Happy you liked it!
Cam shaft and crank sensors are a must I went over a year after putting my new my new de in with my car having problems because of my sensors I had to replace all four of my major ones and things run great now
Where did you get em? Do they share with other nissan
@@Xrissy10 I was an idiot and took it to Nissan.. You can buy all the sensors online and put them on yourself and will save you so much more than what I did..
Great video!
Thanks!

Was an insane video! Thanks, planning to buy myself a 350Z in 2-3 months, i live in Belgium so you are not allowed to tune much, what do you guys recommend tuning on a stock z350?
Personally i think the power is good enough so if i would change something it would be the exhaust and the exterior
Upgrade suspension then. Those cars re amazing with basic suspension mods.

Love this car it’s 2006 REV UP
The hr was 07-08, 06 was de rev up
Good evening. Great video, thank you. I have a 2008 350z NISMO, first and only owner. At now at over a decade old with only 27k miles on it, I'm beginning to play around with mods. 1st mods were fixing the poor quality interior with quality fiber interior pieces to cover the hard plastic areas. Also added a Seibon carbon fiber hood with inlets to let my CAI breathe even better. Mod's I'm interested in.....Seats....the NISMO seats are decent but the seat bolsters don't provide enough side support when driving hard. Any reccs here would be appreciated. From the mods listed in the video, I'd be interested in your take on the exhaust and suspension recommended mods in context of applying them to the Nismo version. I find the suspension in my car to be the highlight of its performance. Do you still recommend coilovers for this model? Also, same with exhaust reccs?
Hey Bryan, very nice, the Nismo 350z is super rare! The primary difference is those better interior options, the body kits, and the wheels. The Nismo did come a little lower and with stiffer springs, and the actual dampers in the car were a touch better. But yes, coilovers can be a massive improvement in ride quality, as well as giving you the ability to finely tune the ride height and damping to tune the ride exactly the way you want it to feel. Additionally, I think the sway bars on the Nismo are a bit beefier than a base 350z, but there's still room for improvement with a set of sway bars which are made from better materials, and offer adjustability to fine tune the body roll. We actually cover a lot of this in our 350z suspension video, over here: ua-cam.com/video/ACdQ832PuCg/v-deo.html
And of course we carry and sell many of these products, and we'd be glad to help you choose the level of coilover suspension you want, or pick a sway bar set that fits your needs.
@@Motoroso Thank you, you guys are quick to respond; I respect that. I'll check out your website and go from there. Have a great evening.
@@Motoroso Nismo option also came with Brembo brakes as well.
Yessir, thanks for adding that, one of the most important and potent upgrades on the Nismo version!
So cold air intake and coilover and breaks seem like the first things to get
There are 3 engines. The one with 2 air intakes is 08 and 09 models only
I'm going on 42 years old. I'm married with kids and I have a mortgage now. No longer big into the tuner has a mostly into lifted trucks now. I'm gravitating towards buying a '03 or '04 350Z... I need a car I can tune up without looking like a boy racer
What did you finally decide on??
U forgot about the de rev up which is from 05-06 then is the hr which is 07-08
You are correct! We lumped the Revup in with the DE (it is officially the "VQ35DE Revup") for the purpose of this video. We shouldn't have done that, a lot of people not happy with us about it, haha. I also mis-stated when the HR motor begins, and that was just me messing up. We actually cover the engine breakdown in more detail in our intake video which isn't out yet, but that's where it matters most in relation to the plenum spacer. Appreciate your contribution!
Dead-on with the brakes. OEM setup is extremely weak. The Akebono kit is an incredible upgrade.
Does not mention Motordyne 5/16 spacer. Skunk2 is literally plastic trash and is known to leak because of this ( just look at the 10+ years on the forums) and doesnt really help with heat isolation unlike the motordyne spacer kit.
Does not mention Z1 spacers, intakes, headers, or parts.
Doesn't mention that both engines tend to run hot and would greatly benefit from 25 row oil cooler, and an all aluminum radiator ( also the Z1 rear coolant alum bleed nipple).
🤔
@@Motoroso not hating just saying. There are a plethora of dyno results on forums for these cars since they are old. Researching what actually makes power is important. Not to mention a tune should be included in this list as without that the headers are going to make the car run like trash.
Motordyne at 6:19 "one of the most popular in the industry"
Headers at 2:57 and a full exhaust video here ua-cam.com/video/s6qaSbC_BYM/v-deo.html
Intakes at 6:43 and a separate video coming today actually...
@@Z33Garage All good, we can handle a little heat. This video is intended to be a starting point for peeps just getting into their 350Z's, and if we tried to cover every nuance out there, it'd be an hour long. Plus, there's people with far deeper experience than us, yourself included. But we do really appreciate your contributions here. Was just a little surprising cause we did mention many of the things you called us out on.
@@Motoroso i was just being specific on the actual brands you recommended instead of the ones that have better track records in the Z community. Hence the Z1 parts, and motordyne specifically .
Cold pod intake ..? what about he lag when driving at high rpm thru the mountains ,, off and on and off the gas ,, pods dont have the dead air zone as the factory air box has , I have had both , and pod filter was not nice , seamed like turbo lag without the turbo
I’ll recently got a 350z I added some mods on just got it Wrap as well i just need more guidance i want it to push more horse
Power
I disagree on borla for the 3.5, Tuning is more difficult to find compared to a mustang/Camaro. I recommend a true dual exhaust and lighter flywheel vs stock dual mass. Cold air intake best on infinity, Z already bare bone. Don't put a larger TB on stock motor. You will lose power. Plenum spacer best on 03-05. Coilovers #1, then wheels #2, #3 brakes are a must.
I will have one in 6-7months comment back then hopefully I can keep y’all motivated and show y’all it can be done
I’m one of the lucky one that my rev up doesn’t consume oil well at least when I put 10w30 it doesn’t
I got a set of koni yellows and swift spec R springs for my z recently. Not sure im ready to go whole hog into coilovers just yet
Jus alil FYI, the 2006 350z was NOT A HR MOTOR, IT WAS A DE REV-UP VERSION! HR WAS ONLY OFFERED IN 07-08! 😌
i’m thinking about getting a 350z for my first car? don’t know if i shoulf i’ve always wanted a nice sounding car and it too look nice and i’ve always wanted one of these and it seems like the perfect fit just don’t know what i should get i saw a 2003 with 100,000 miles for 11k don’t know if that’s a good deal but is in my price range and is in my area any ideas?
Wouldnt most of the engine mods would also apply to the infiniti g35?
So I checked your site for the Skunk2 intake plenum. Your video says that it comes with the spacers for the strut tower but on your website it does not. ?
Hey, you're absolutely right, our listing was very unclear about that. I've added another phot that shows the full kit, and enhanced the description to be more detailed. it does include the spacers: www.motoroso.com/p/112377-skunk2-racing-307-07-0400-composite-plenum-spacer?lid=1705234
Noobie question, when you purchase these parts, do you need to install them yourself? Or can you bring them to a shop to do it for you? Thanks so much
Plenum spacer not needed on the 350z HR 08 (twin intake)
Just bought one today
Nice, congrats! Let us know how we can help :-) Borla headers are back in stock, finally!
video starts at 2:15
❤ you guys
If I’m going for looks and not really speed but if I want to add some I could always do little stuff. should I just go for the DE? For the price difference I think DE is the way to go for me I want for looks more then speed but if I ever want to add a little power I can add a intake and headers and other little add ons! What do you guys think?
hey if you still wanting to this answer to this question a HR is always better if you can afford it. it has roughly 4x stronger internals than a DE just more reliable in general
The 350z is my dream car I’m happy I got around 28 grand set aside till I’m 18 I saw one for 16 grand that looked good on Kiji and if I have a job when I’m 18 that 28 grand is free money buy mods with my job money buy a car with the free money
What wheels are in the thumbnail? those are beautiful
I have a real love/hate thing with my nissan but she looks so beautiful
Tiny wheels lol mine are 12.5 front and 14 in the back 18inch running 315 in back and 295 in front on negative 25 offset
3 engines not 2 de, rev up, hr. 06 has its own engine
What mods could I use from this list to put on a 350gt 2007 model ? Pretty sure they’re the same engine I know that 2007 models for come with the hr so would this work out ?
My lowering springs paired with aftermarket swaybars handles way better than any coil setup and way cheaper. Just fyi 😁
Lol and how many track days have you been on…
Hi dude, I recently installed the Skunk2 plenum spacer in my 350z, disappointed to read in the manual I cannot keep the important strut tower bar, are there any aftermarket strut tower bars that will fit instead? Using washes doesnt work either as the car begins to rattle/shake abit...
Just bought a 2005 350z but it overheats. Changed the thermostat, water pump and radiator. Do you know what else it could be??
I might be wrong but I thought they made a final 2009 350z in convertible only.
U only sell that product to USA or u send to Latam to?
Don’t you need to tune after intake and exhaust related alterations.
There was no hr in 06, you forgot the revup
Are you going to ever cover the 350 Z NIZMO?
I think the test pipes alone give more horsepower than the headers tbh.
How long do you guys take to deliver ?
