Second Hand Nissan 370Z Air Filter

Yes, every Nissan 370Z has an air filter — the 370Z is powered by Nissan's naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine (code VQ37VHR), and all petrol engines require an air filter to clean the intake air before it enters the combustion chambers. Whether you have a coupe or a roadster, all UK 370Z variants share this same engine and will have one. You are in the right place searching for this part.

The Nissan 370Z was sold in the UK from 2009 through to around 2021, and throughout that entire run it used the same VQ37VHR 3.7-litre V6 engine with no engine code change, so the air filter element itself is generally consistent across the range. That said, minor ancillary or housing changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift, so if you are sourcing a used filter housing or complete airbox assembly rather than just the paper element, confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker. For the filter element alone, year-to-year variation is minimal, but quoting your engine code and registration to the breaker is always the safest approach.

The 370Z received a notable update around 2013, which is often referred to as the facelift, bringing styling revisions and interior changes, but the VQ37VHR engine carried over unchanged. Because the engine code is what drives air filter fitment, the filter element is expected to be compatible across the pre- and post-2013 boundary. However, if you are buying a complete airbox or intake assembly rather than just the filter, confirm with the breaker whether any housing or mounting changes apply to your specific registration, as ancillary changes can occur without a formal engine revision.

No, trim level does not affect air filter fitment on the 370Z — whether you have a GT, GT Edition, Black Edition, or any other UK trim, they all use the same VQ37VHR 3.7-litre V6 engine and the same air filter. Trim differences on the 370Z relate to cosmetic and comfort features such as interior finish, wheels, and bodywork, none of which change the intake or engine specification. Simply quote your engine code and registration to the breaker and they will be able to match the correct part.

For the air filter element itself, the body style — coupe or roadster — makes no difference, as both use the identical VQ37VHR engine. The filter sits within the engine bay and the airbox layout is shared between the two body styles, so a filter from a coupe-sourced engine should correspond to the same specification as one from a roadster. If you are buying a complete airbox assembly, it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration just in case of any minor fitment differences in how the housing mounts, but for the filter element alone body style is not a concern.

Used parts from breakers are almost always standard OEM items, so you would typically be sourcing a like-for-like factory air filter rather than a performance unit. If the breaker's car has had an aftermarket intake or panel filter fitted, it may not match your original airbox housing dimensions, so check with the breaker what specification the filter is before purchasing. For straightforward OEM replacements, any standard 370Z air filter from a VQ37VHR-engined car should correspond to your specification — give the breaker your registration and engine code to confirm.
