Does the HPS Intake Kit for Z33 cars fit a later 350Z?

No. HPS lists part number 827-520 for the 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z 3.5L V6 only. Later 350Z model years are not on the HPS application list, so owners of those cars should not assume this kit will fit and should look for the part HPS lists for their year.

Does the kit need a tune?

No. HPS states that the intake does not require tuning, does not trigger a check engine light and maintains a safe air fuel ratio. The kit swaps out the stock air box for the aluminum tube, steel shield and washable filter, while the factory engine management stays as Nissan programmed it.

How much power does the kit add?

HPS recorded gains of 10 wheel horsepower and 9.8 lb-ft of torque on its dyno with the Intake Kit for Z33 350Z models, along with improved throttle response. Those are the HPS test figures; results on another car depend on its mileage, condition and any other modifications already fitted.

Does the kit work with the factory air scoop?

Yes. HPS designed the heavy duty powder coated steel heat shield to integrate with the factory fresh air scoop, so the filter is fed cool outside air rather than air heated by the engine. HPS states this gives the best cooling effect, and no modification is required to make it fit.

What comes in the box?

The kit contains the HPS aluminum intake tube, heavy duty steel heat shield, washable and reusable HPS air filter, stainless steel T-bolt clamps, high temperature reinforced silicone couplers, mounting hardware and an illustrated installation manual. Everything needed to replace the stock air box is supplied.

HPS Cold Air Intake Kit for Z33 Nissan 350Z 3.5L

HPS’s Cold Air Intake Kit for Z33 Nissan 350Z 3.5L takes out the restrictive stock air box on the 2003-2006 350Z and fits a 3 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube with a washable HPS filter in its place. Its heavy duty steel heat shield ties into the factory fresh air scoop, and on the HPS dyno the kit added 10 whp and 9.8 lb-ft. For an early Z owner it is a straightforward bolt-on that HPS says needs no tune and no modification.

Design and Performance

Ten wheel horsepower on a 3.5L V6 is a modest step, and the HPS figure should be read that way: worth having, not transformative. The useful detail is the steel shield, which joins the factory scoop so the filter is fed cooler outside air, as HPS describes it. HPS says the air fuel ratio stays safe, so the kit suits an early Z kept close to stock as well as one on the way to bigger changes.

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.
