A black super-slick compound that is applied to specific areas of the pistons, molybdenum substantially reduces internal engine friction, allowing the engine to build up rpm quicker.

A clean, bright fuel guage keeps you informed on what's left in the tank.

The 350Z comes with a tire pressure monitor that enables the driver to monitor tire pressure both at rest and at speed.

Unlike timing belts, timing chains do not require scheduled maintenance inspections or replacement for the service life of the engine. Timing chains provide more precise and reliable actuation of camshafts.

Microfinishing is a separate manufacturing process that puts an ultra-smooth finish on rotating surfaces, enabling the shafts to turn with the least possible resistance reducing heat and vibration.

Precise quantities of fuel are injected at exactly the right moment in relation to valve timing and piston position, enhancing overall drivability and, especially, hot and cold starting capability.

A single accessory drive belt helps reduce overall engine weight and size. The automatic tensioner maintains proper tension at all times, reducing wear.

This mode enables the engine to function in a reduced capacity in case of failure by any one of four critical components (coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft angle sensor, throttle position sensor, or airflow meter).

In the event of an emissions-related incident, the OBD II illuminates a "Service Engine Soon" light to alert the driver, thereby reducing the risk of damage to expensive components.

Fluid in selected engine mounts absorbs engine vibrations before they reach the passenger compartment, reducing engine noise and vibration for improved passenger comfort.
