Second Hand Nissan 350Z Fuel Injection Pump

The Nissan 350Z was sold in the UK from 2003 to 2009 as a single generation, so a 2003 and a 2006 car share the same platform and the VQ35DE engine code — the pump should be sourced to match that engine code rather than the year alone. That said, there were running production changes across the model's life, so whether ancillary fittings and mountings are identical on a specific pump across those years is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. Never assume fitment is guaranteed without that check.

The 350Z received a facelift for the 2006 model year, and while the core VQ35DE engine carried through, mid-production ancillary and mounting changes can occur around a facelift boundary. You should name both your year and your engine code when getting a quote, and ask the breaker to confirm the pump from a pre-facelift (2003–2005) car crosses over to a post-facelift (2006–2009) car for your specific registration. The engine code on your V5 or a VIN check is the single most useful detail you can supply.

For a mechanical part like the fuel injection pump, trim level does not affect fitment — the GT, Touring Sport and Track variants all used the same VQ35DE petrol engine, so the pump follows the engine code rather than the badge. You may find cosmetic differences between stripped parts from different trim cars, but these have no bearing on the pump itself. Confirm the engine code matches and let the breaker cross-reference your registration to be sure.

The Nissan 350Z used the VQ35DE V6 petrol engine throughout its UK production run from 2003 to 2009, and this is the engine code that determines which fuel injection pump is compatible. You'll find the engine code on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check, and quoting it to the breaker is far more useful than quoting your year or trim alone. Mechanical parts follow the engine code above everything else.

Gearbox type is a relevant fitment consideration for some fuel system components, so it is worth telling the breaker whether your car is a manual or automatic when requesting a quote. For the 350Z specifically, whether the pump itself differs between transmission variants is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Supplying your engine code alongside the gearbox type gives the breaker the best chance of matching the correct part.

The 370Z uses a different engine — the VQ37VHR — compared with the 350Z's VQ35DE, which means the two are not the same engine family in terms of fuel system components and a direct swap is very unlikely to be straightforward. Always match the pump to your specific engine code rather than assuming compatibility based on the Z-car badge or similar body styling. A good breaker will be able to advise further if you supply your registration and engine code.
