Cheap Nissan 370Z Clutch Slave Cylinder

Only manual gearbox 370Zs have a clutch slave cylinder — the automatic variants do not use a clutch at all and therefore never had this part fitted. The 370Z was sold in the UK with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic transmission, so before searching for this part you should confirm you have the manual version. If you have an automatic 370Z and are chasing a gearbox-related fault, you would be looking at a transmission service or torque converter work rather than a clutch slave cylinder.

The 370Z ran from 2009 through to around 2021 in the UK as a single generation based on the Z34 platform, with a facelift introduced around 2013 that brought revised styling and some equipment changes. All manual UK 370Zs used the VQ37VHR 3.7-litre V6 engine throughout the production run, which is a strong indicator of mechanical continuity, but whether the clutch slave cylinder itself was revised across the 2013 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Supply your registration or engine code to the breaker so they can verify the part number matches before purchase.

Trim level does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment — this is a mechanical component tied to the engine and gearbox combination, not to the badge or equipment level. Whether your 370Z is a standard model, a GT, or a Nismo, the relevant factors are the engine code (VQ37VHR), the manual gearbox, and the model year. Do be aware that a Nismo may have a uprated clutch assembly fitted from a previous owner, but the slave cylinder itself is determined by the gearbox casing, not the trim — confirm the part number with your breaker if any aftermarket clutch work has been done.

The most useful thing you can give a breaker is your engine code — on a 370Z this should be VQ37VHR — along with your full registration number so they can run a check, and confirmation that you have the manual 6-speed gearbox rather than the automatic. Your model year is also helpful as a secondary check, particularly if your car sits around the 2013 facelift period where some ancillary specifications may have been updated. The more detail you supply upfront, the quicker the breaker can pull the right part from the correct donor vehicle.

The 350Z and 370Z are different generations — the 350Z (Z33) used a VQ35DE or VQ35HR engine, while the 370Z (Z34) uses the larger VQ37VHR — and these are not the same gearbox or bellhousing setup, so a straight swap is very unlikely to be correct. You should treat these as separate platforms and source a slave cylinder specifically from a 370Z manual donor. Always quote your engine code and registration to the breaker rather than relying on cross-generation compatibility.
