Where is the engine number located on a Nissan 350Z?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Nissan 350Z is located on the engine block. The function of the engine is to convert the heat energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, which expands the gas and pushes the pistons to perform work. Taking the 2006 Nissan 350Z as an example, it is a sports car with the following dimensions: length 4317mm, width 1815mm, height 1324mm, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The 2006 Nissan 350Z is equipped with a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 280PS, a maximum torque of 363Nm, and a maximum power of 206kW. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Nissan 350Z for over a decade. The engine number can be found on the engine itself, specifically located on the front end of the engine block, usually on a small flat metal surface near the fan or radiator side. You'll need to open the hood first—be careful as the engine might be hot, so it's best to wait until the car has cooled down before checking. I've noticed that sometimes oil or dust can cover the number, but a quick wipe with a cloth will make it visible again. This number is crucial, especially when transferring ownership or during repairs, as it proves the engine is original. If you lose your registration documents, this number can help restore them. When checking, be cautious not to touch other components to avoid injury. The location is fixed, but it might take some time to locate and clean it properly on your first try. Keeping the number clear can prevent future hassles, like during a sale when buyers will definitely check it.
