All of these Zspeed Performance aluminum shields have been road and track tested, Fit perfect and are properly designed. These are laser cut and professionally produced to perfection!
These under shrouds were developed by Zspeed Performance to protect your critical engine parts under the car and also because the cheesy plastic OEM shield deteriorates over time and usually ends up on the highway behind you somewhere.
Without the shield in place the air that comes in through your fascia should be directed into you radiator and instead will just take the path of least resistance and exit under the car instead of cooling off your radiator. Just like the upper radiator air guides keep air going through the radiator, The bottom is even more important to have in place as it is much easier for air to escape there.
The under shrouds will fit ALL 2003-2009 350Z's Nismo (with factory front diffuser between bumper and engine shield) or Non-Nismo with stock front fascias and should fit any fascia that the OEM under shroud still bolts to. These have only been test fitted on stock bumpers.
These will also fit 03-07 G35 coupe/ 2002-2006 Sedans (RWD Only)
Will not fit G35X All wheel drive sedans.
The ZSpeed under shroud will help give the lower front fascia much more rigidity also, As you probably know, running without the shield in place at high speeds can do serious damage to the front fascia as it will droop down and can rip apart.
The BEST feature of all is that you can actually change your oil AND filter without removing the entire shroud. I have integrated a oil change access door into the shroud so all you have to do is remove 2 bolts and you have ample room to get to the oil filter and drain plug.
Weight on the entire piece is 4.5lbs, The plastic OEM shield for reference weighs in at a bit over 3lbs.
Very lightweight and much more protection!
Also Available in Powder Coated, Matte Black
Fitment
2003-2008 350Z
2003-2007 G35 Coupe
2003-2006 G35 Rear drive sedans.
This will clear the APS aluminum oil pan on the G or Z and also fits with the JWT oil pan spacer and stock pan.
If you have the APS oil pan that goes under the oil filter you may not be able to get to the filter without removing the shield.
Works with Vortech supercharger kit, Some slight pipe adjustments may be needed.
Known to fit with the Nismo V2, Charge Speed and a few others, If your stock shield can still be attached to your aftermarket front bumper this will also.
Also fits the Nismo Z's so long as you have the OEM front splitter still in place.
Please PM me a price on a bare aluminum rear section (don't need the oil door, either) for my '08 Z. Mine got nailed by some road debris in a hellacious thunderstorm, and unsure if the one on the car now can be hammered flat, or not. Damn, I've already bought two of these setups for this one car, but happy to have the protection and other great benefits. Thanks.
Here's a pic of the undershroud from my '08. Not sure what caused this damage, but it was some sort of metal debris I ran over on the highway during a thunderstorm at night. I'm guessing the debris caught in one of the slots and tore the aluminum before it fell away. The hole is right under the crank pulley, so who knows what damage would have occurred with the OEM plastic shroud in place?
Further, when I contacted ZSpeed about getting a replacement, I was able to buy just that rear section at a great discount, and it arrived in just 2 days. Count me as a very satisfied customer, and this is still one of the best mods I've added to my Z.
