Customize Nissan 350Z to your personal taste with various available accessories


 Nissan 350Z is a well-known name among a lot of car enthusiasts all over the world. The fifth generation of Nissan’s Z-car line was first introduced in August 2002 in America and since then it still rules the hearts of car lovers. The first year saw ‘coupe’ model which has five variants- Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track. The roadster version which was introduced in the later year has only Enthusiast and Touring trim levels. The sport car has been succeeded by the 370Z model in 2009 but the demand for the sports car among the people has not changed much.

In 2007 the car got several changes across the board. The 350Z's driver-centric cabin had slightly richer look in 2007. Hard plastic door panels were introduced to match softer-touch uppers with padded cloth or leather lower elements and each panel had a cup holder. The less important changes include revamped gauge faces, bright work accents on the air conditioning controls, and marginally improved console storage areas. All variants include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, tilt/telescoping column with pivoting main-instrument cluster, power windows, power locks and mirrors, keyless remote entry, dual 12V power points.

The Nissan 350Z's all-alloy 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 engine uses continuously variable valve timing to fatten and flatten the output curves. Powerful v6 engine is paired with a standard six-speed manual gearbox and produces 300 hp and 260 lb-ft of powerful torque.  All Z-cars have traction control and a viscous limited-slip differential, 6M versions of the Touring Coupe/Track Coupe/Grand Touring add Nissan's Vehicle Dynamic Control system. Its steering, stopping and suspension systems synergistically connect in a way that can effectively tame even the most twisted back roads.

The powerful sports car can be customized for better performance and looks. While the performance can be made better by engine upgrade, there are various manufactures which make accessories such as body kits, headlamps, spoilers, hoods and seats etc. There are various online portals which provide variety of such accessories across the different variants of Nissan 350Z. The majority of these components have two categories – Accessories for 2003-06 models and accessories for 2007 -08 models. You may choose them according to your car model.
