About the Nissan 350Z Z33
The 350Z entered production in 2002 and brought Nissan's Z sports car back to the American market. This entry represents the 2004 US-market base coupé with its original VQ35DE V6 and six-speed manual gearbox. A short, wide body, independent suspension and direct controls make it a purposeful and engaging road car. Later RevUp and VQ35HR engines have different outputs and are not represented by these figures.
