Z1 Undershroud 350z Unbox & Install

[@stefg6810]

Smart thinking on raw metal, I wouldn't have thought of that. Also nice to see it's only two bolts between you and an oil change.

[@2FIRacing]

Yeah, Z1 really made it easy to do maintenance on the Z now. Super happy with this and hopefully, won't see any fluid stains 😅

i was doing oil changes after every track weekend last year and didn't mind taking the whole shroud off while checking all the suspension hardware, but yeah definitely getting one of these, been on my wish list for a long time. good video like usual man.

[@2FIRacing]

Thanks dude! I try to put out content that people find useful. Super happy with the shroud so far. I'm sure once I get it finished up it'll be so much more convenient to do maintenance.

Thanks for the helpful video. I have a black 370z, so I went with the black anodized version for cosmetic reasons, not thinking of the practical reason you mentioned for going with bare metal aluminum. I'm going to spray some matte clearcoat on the bottom of the shroud for additional protection of the anodized finish from things like rock impacts. The installation for the 370z differs slightly in the need to install 3 riv nuts in the aluminum cross member that supports both panels A and B. This requires the three 8mm holes that are there to be drilled out to 10mm to accept the riv nuts and then for the riv nuts to be expanded with a small tool that Z1 supplies. I'm hoping that the vent louvers on the service panel will help to extract air and aid in airflow around the oil pan for better heat dissipation.

Right on! I have a Infiniti 2015 Q40. My front undershroud got ripped off so just got this !

[@charlesasgard7335]

I was thinking of getting this over the ZSPEED. Thx!

[@2FIRacing]

Both def have pros and cons, I made the right choice for my use case. Glad you found the vid helpful.

Welcoming in the new year i see 👀

[@2FIRacing]

Trying to. Not the biggest mod but, a necessary one.

[@Claxsonfl]

I wonder why mine does not fit my 350z

[@josephpossanza5022]

Install pretty easy though yeah? I just purchased one and dont have much experience working on cars, i do fix certain things with youtube videos so im sure i can get this all squared away. Just trying to get better protection underneath since i only have my fender guards but nothing to protect my actual engine.

[@beezyrider]

Looks like it’s good quality and better than the OE. I might go ahead and get one now after watching your video

[@2FIRacing]

I really debated on whether or not I needed/wanted one but, I'm glad I finally decided to go with the Z1 version and couldn't be happier. Glad my video helped you out!

[@beezyrider]

@@2FIRacing same here but I really hate the factory plastic piece. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@2FIRacing]

@@beezyrider No worries! Glad I could help!

[@Jzerobarrios]

I recently purchased one, but is it necessary to disconnect the negative terminal prior to installing?

[@2FIRacing]

I did not and things were fine.

[@Jzerobarrios]

@@2FIRacing appreciate it man! My first Z and taking precautions 😅

[@2FIRacing]

@@Jzerobarrios no worries dude, completely understand.

[@DuuuvalTWD]

i wonder if these MFers sent me the wrong one. I specified 370z nismo and i recieved this exact same one you did.

[@2FIRacing]

Hmmm that’s interesting, I’m not sure if they are the same or not.
