Nissan 350z Images Wallpapers

The Nissan 350Z is a vehicle that still manages to impress. One of the areas that will always keep a special spot for this model is the aftermarket world. The 350Z was one of the favorite vehicles for tuners coming from all over the world.

Knowing all this, it's easy to understand why people get so excited when seeing a modified 350Z. That's what we also felt: we were surfing the web in search of various things when we came across the vehicle you see in the adjacent images (we must thank stancenation.com for the images and information).

We are dealing with a moderate approach, the kind that makes people notice that this Z has something special but doesn't scream "tuning!"

The vehicle comes with a relatively short list of mods when it comes to the tech area, as we are only talking about an Agency TI exhaust, a JWT air intake, a set of custom coilovers and DPE ST-10 rims. The wheels come in a 19x10 size with 225/35 tires for the front axle and in a 19x11 size with 245/35 tires for the power-delivering rear axle.

The vehicle's exterior has been gifted with blacked headlights and tailights, carbon fiber hatch and hood coming from Seibon (we really love this happy couple), an Aerosync bumper and a Shorty antenna.

As for the interior, this has received a set of Nismo (Nissan's racing division) pedals and floor mats, LED floor lighting and a high-end audio system comprising of a Pioneer deck,a JL 500.1 amplifier and JL Audio w6v2 speakers in a Z-Enclosure Box.

Geneva Preview: Nissan to launch revised 350Z and a brand-new model for Europe

I’m pretty sure that you’re scanning the press release to find what kind of model will Nissan unveil at the Geneva Show besides the revised 313Hp 2007 350Z. You shouldn’t bother though cause that’s about all Nissan will reveal until the Geneva press conference at 11:15 on Tuesday 6 March.

Just came to me though that during the world presentation of the Nissan Qashqai at Paris in September, I had an interesting chat with Brian Carolin, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing of Nissan Europe and one of the most talkative and “no bullshit” car execs I’ve met. At one point I asked him whether Nissan was planning to substitute the Primera with a new mid-size sedan or if they would follow the same tactic as with the Almera, somewhat replacing it with a crossover and more specifically, with the new X-Trail.

Carolin’s answer was that, the X-Trail which will be unveiled in early 2007, most probably at the Geneva show, will also take upon the task of “stealing” buyers from the mid-size sedan segment. Even though this is hypothetical, I wouldn't be surprised if the new X-Trail was more or less based on the Nissan Rogue we saw at the Detroit Show. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see the official press release and a high-res gallery of the Euro 2007 350Z

PRESS RELEASE: NISSAN AT THE 77TH INTERNATIONAL GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 2007

• World premiere of a new model for Europe
• Extensive revisions to 350Z including:
• New generation VQ engine
• Increase in power and torque
• Redesigned bonnet profile
• New exterior and interior colours
• New tyres for improved refinement

Trappes, France, (12th February, 2007) Nissan will be unveiling for the first time anywhere in the world a new model which will reinforce the company’s profit and growth aspirations in Europe. Carlos Tavares, Nissan’s Executive Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Product Planning, will present the new model at Nissan’s press conference at 11:15 on Tuesday 6 March (1st press day). No further details will be released until the press conference.

As well as the world premiere, Nissan will also be showing the new, updated 350Z which will reinforce its credentials as a pure sports car with thrilling, involving performance.

With the fitment of the next generation 3.5 V6 engine – engine code VQ35HR – power has risen to 313PS (230kW) at 6800rpm and torque is now rated at 358Nm at 4800rpm, while the maximum engine speed has increased by 500rpm to 7500rpm. Nearly 80% of major engine parts are new, providing improved acceleration and responsiveness.

To achieve the additional performance, a dual intake system has been fitted and the variable valve timing system has a wider range of operation, plus the addition of a common length exhaust manifold reduces back pressure. Those changes combine to boost low and mid-range torque.

In order to achieve the higher rev limit, the crank journal and crank pin have increased in size. At the bottom of the engine, a ladder frame has been added to stiffen the crank and reduce vibration.

The introduction of a second knock sensor, an asymmetric piston pattern, improved cylinder cooling and iridium spark plugs will combine to improve the efficiency of the ignition cycle, while an increase in compression ratio from 10.3 to 10.6 has liberated more top end power. Despite all these changes, weight and fuel consumption remain unchanged, but the engine’s centre of gravity has been lowered by 15mm.

To accommodate the new engine the front bonnet has been discreetly redesigned and is now reminiscent of the original 240Z, thanks to a slightly raised profile, while three new exterior colours will also be offered. Temper Orange is a striking shade but also contains a subtle green “flip” which can be seen in soft light and gives the car a surprising tone, while a new grey – Precision Grey – and Night Blue complete the colour line-up.

Inside, a new trim has also been introduced, which is called Frost Grey. It is a pale tone and adds a touch of sophistication to the car’s interior. As well as a new interior trim colour, another important change to the interior is the fitment of Active Headrests, to minimise the chances of neck injury in the event of a rear impact.

And to improve on-road refinement, the 350Z is now equipped with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres, however grip levels remain unaffected.

2008 Nissan 350Z / Fairlady Z Nismo & 400Hp Nismo Type 380RS Competition

Now this is more like it or isn’t it? See, according to Nissan’s press release, which you can check out below, the 350Z –Fairlady Z in Japan, gets a pack load of goodies like an impressive bodykit, enhanced suspension and tires but there’s no word of any engine upgrades. Even though the Japanese version of the 2008 350Z pumps out 313Hp isn’t it a shame that this car doesn’t get a bit more power?

Anyways, along with the supped up 350Z / Fairlady Z, Nismo also presented the racing version of the car, which goes by the name Fairlady Z NISMO Type 380RS-Competition (image below). Apart from chipping away a few pounds and revising suspension & brakes, NISMO also fiddled around with Nissan’s 3.5 V6 increasing its capacity to 3.8-litres and interfering with the electronics. The upgraded VQ35HR produces 400Hp and 43,0 kgm of torque. -Thanks for the Tip!

PRESS RELEASE: Nissan 350Z / Fairlady Z Nismo: Based on the new Fairlady Z, the Version NISMO fuses NISMO's extensive racing expertise, gained through competing in SUPER GT and other race series as the Nissan works team, with the Autech Japan’s extensive experience in manufacturing completely customized vehicles. The new model provides a heightened dimension of sporty driving pleasure, backed by the Fairlady Z's renowned performance capabilities. The customl Version Nissan can be purchased at Nissan dealers nationwide and receives the same after-sales service as regular Fairlady Z models.

To help enhance driving performance, the Version NISMO’s body stiffness has been improved by increasing the welded area of the body panels and adding additional reinforcement bars and panels, among other measures. High-grip Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires have been adopted to absorb high input forces from the road surface. In addition, the suspension system has been totally retuned to further boost cornering performance. An optimum balance of handling and driving comfort has also been achieved by adopting Performance Dampers that effectively damp force inputs to the body.

The exterior design was developed on the basis of meticulous studies conducted by the Design Group and the Vehicle Performance Testing Group. A supercomputer was used to run design simulations based on aerodynamic data collected with SUPER GT race cars. The distinctive body form obtained as a result provides superior handling and stability, together with aerodynamic characteristics for creating effective downforce. The interior is also distinguished by its unique, premium-quality ambience, resulting from the use of exclusive metallic-looking genuine leather trim. Seats are upholstered with a perforated Alcantara center section that holds the body more firmly during sporty driving.

2007 Nissan 350Z 306Hp – Official press release & images

Nissan USA announced the availability and pricing of its revised 2007 Nissan 350Z Coupe & Roadster models. Like the 2007 Japanese version, the updated 350Z benefits from a new hood design reminiscent of the classic first generation 240Z and most importantly, from the adoption of the fourth generation VQ35 engine. Albeit in Japan the 3.5 V6 VQ35HR produces 313 Hp, in the US it lost a few “ponies” as it delivers 306Hp. That makes the 2007 350Z a whopping… 6Hp stronger than the 2006 version. Likewise, torque is up at 268 lb-ft from 260 lb-ft while the rev limit is increased to 7,500 rpm. Unfortunately Nissan hasn’t released any official performance figures yet.

PRESS RELEASE: The Nissan 350Z continues to offer sports car lovers high performance excitement and dynamic driving experience. For the 2007 model year, Nissan engineers have taken the award-winning sports car one step further with the next generation of its award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter V6. The new VQ35HR V6 produces 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque and features a twin air intake system, among other enhancements, that increases efficiency and allows for improved fuel economy.

Other new features for the 2007 350Z include a new front hood design, three new exterior colors, a new gray colored convertible top (Roadster models), interior improvements, a Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System (Touring, Grand Touring Coupes) and standard front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags (Roadster models).

New 3.5 V6 VQ35HR Engine: The fourth-generation VQ-series V6, which has been named one of the "Ten Best Engines" by Ward’s Auto World magazine for 14 consecutive years, has been significantly revised for use in the 2007 350Z, with approximately 80% of major parts (except bolts, O-rings and clips) redesigned.

The block features ladder frame construction for greater rigidity, crank journal and pin diameters have been increased and the block height has been increased by 8.4 millimeters to reduce piston side force. Also, the engine center has been lowered 15 millimeters. Other engine enhancements include variable exhaust cam timing (eCVTCS), a higher rev limit (increased to 7,500 rpm) and higher compression ratio (from 10.3:1 to 10.6:1), asymmetric piston skirts, twin knock sensors, improved coolant flow and new Iridium-tipped spark plugs.

A new symmetric twin ram air intake system helps reduce airflow resistance and increases horsepower, by up to three horsepower, as more air enters the intake at speed. Along with a powerful engine, the Z produces a powerful sports car sound to match – one without the low frequency booming or rumbling or high-pitched mechanical sounds that can grow tiresome on long trips.

Prices: The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2007 Nissan 350Z increases only $250 from 2006 on all models except the 350Z Roadster Enthusiast model, which increases $500 and includes front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags that are now standard on all Z Roadsters.

Nissan 350Z Twin Turbo - 624 Hp

I’ve driven the latest Nissan 350Z and to tell you the truth, I had a friggin blast with it. 300 Hp seem just fine with me. I’m not saying that I won’t appreciate the extra 13 Hp on the 2008 350Z, but 624 Hp? Well, in the world of tuning, everything’s acceptable and that’s what makes cars like this so intriguing.

The lads responsible for this Twin Turbo “porn” machine have posted a very analytical article on how exactly they “boosted the crap” out the VQ35, all you have to do is click here. It would have been nice if we had some performance figures too, but since we’re talking about 624 Hp, I’d say it’s fast enough to blow you out of space. Via: Autoblog.nl

2008 Nissan 350Z – New 313Hp 3.5 V6 & minor styling changes

I know it sounds somewhat strange since it was facelifted just a few months ago but fact is that the 350Z has been updated once again! Although Nissan hasn’t given us any facts yet, they previewed it “silently” at the LA Auto Show. We found out about it from Autoblog who posted a few pics and verified it at Freshalloy, a member of whom posted additional images from the LA Show. As for us, we got our hands on a half a dozen of pics (middle row) and Nissan’s official press release on the 2007 model (scroll down).

So what’s new here? Well first and most importantly the new engine, as Nissan replaced the recently revised 300 Hp 3.5 V6 (from 280 Hp) with their brand new VQ35HR, 3.5 V6 motor, which produces 313 Hp in 365 Nm of torque –though we ought to be careful with those numbers as they may differ in the Euro / US version. According to the information revealed in the tech pics, the 2007 350Z is 0,2 sec faster in the 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint in comparison with the current model which means it needs 5,6 sec.

Press Release: The 2007 Nissan 350Z is scheduled to go on sale in January 2007. The changes for the new model year will include new exterior colors, a new gray colored convertible top (Roadster models), Active Head Restraints and performance enhancements including a new VQ35HR engine.

The 2007 350Z will again be available in Coupe and Roadster body styles and in an array of models –four for the Coupe, including a Grand Touring model, and three for the Roadster (including the Grand Touring automatic transmission version). More information on the 2007 Nissan 350Z will be available at a later date. Pics via: Autoblog & Freshalloy
