Does the Carbon Engine Cover for RZ34 fit both manual and automatic cars?

Yes. HKS lists part number 70026-AN001 for the RZ34 Nissan Z with the VR30DDTT engine and marks it for both the manual and automatic transmission versions. Bulletproof Automotive lists the cover for 2022 to 2025 model years.

Do I need to remove the strut brace to install the cover?

No. HKS built the Carbon Engine Cover for RZ34 in two pieces, following the layout of the stock engine cover, so it can be installed without removing the stock brace bar. This keeps the job short and avoids disturbing the factory brace hardware in the engine bay.

How does the cover mount to the engine?

The HKS cover mounts in the same way as the stock engine cover. HKS states that by replacing the grommets on the stock cover, the dry carbon cover can be installed like the factory part. HKS supplies an installation manual for part number 70026-AN001.

How is the dry carbon cover made?

The cover is molded from carbon fiber that has been impregnated with thermosetting resin in advance, known as prepreg, and cured in an autoclave. HKS uses this dry carbon method for the RZ34 cover because it eliminates fiber misalignment and produces a lightweight, high strength part with a twill weave finish.

Does the engine cover add horsepower?

No. HKS presents the dry carbon engine cover as a styling and finish upgrade for the Nissan Z engine bay and does not publish any power figures for it. Owners who want more power from the VR30DDTT should look at HKS intake, exhaust or engine management parts instead.

HKS Dry Carbon Engine Cover for RZ34 Nissan Z

The HKS Dry Carbon Engine Cover for RZ34 Nissan Z replaces the stock engine cover over the VR30DDTT with an autoclaved dry carbon part in a twill weave, styled with duct detailing for a racing look. HKS splits it into two pieces like the factory cover, so it goes on without removing the stock brace bar. This is an appearance upgrade for an owner who opens the hood at meets or wants the engine bay to match other carbon parts; HKS publishes no performance figures for it, and a buyer focused only on lap times will get more from other HKS parts for the Z.

Construction

HKS makes the cover from dry carbon using the prepreg method, where the carbon fiber is impregnated with thermosetting resin in advance and the part is cured in an autoclave. HKS says this process eliminates fiber misalignment, which gives the twill weave an even, consistent pattern across both pieces of the RZ34 cover.

Features

Autoclaved dry carbon, which HKS describes as lightweight and high strength
Prepreg construction that HKS says eliminates fiber misalignment
Twill weave carbon fiber surface for a finished look in the engine bay
Two-piece layout like the stock engine cover, so the stock brace bar stays in place during installation
Duct detailing that gives the VR30DDTT engine bay a more aggressive, racing style

Applications

Nissan Z: RZ34 | 2022-2025 | VR30DDTT

Notes

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
