Yep; its aluminum on the 03-05 350Z's and on the new 370Z according to Nissan and verified with a magnet. I don't know if the 07/08 350Z stock hood is aluminum though.

Has anyone tested their underhood temps comparing the stock aluminum hood without vents with aftermarket hood with vents with a better than stock engine temp gauge?

I am aware the turbonetics & Powerlab turbo kits generate much higher engine bay temps mostly due the location of the turbo abd may help in reducing the heat dissipated from the turbo.
