Description
The Nissan 370Z Engine is a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine that powers the legendary 370Z sports car. As a member of Nissan’s renowned VQ engine family, it delivers a blend of high performance, reliability, and refined engineering. Constructed with an aluminum block and cylinder heads, the VQ37VHR offers reduced weight and enhanced rigidity, improving the car’s balance and handling dynamics. It features Nissan’s advanced VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) and CVTC (Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control) technologies, which optimize valve timing and lift to improve airflow, throttle response, and overall efficiency.
Producing 328 horsepower and 363 Nm of torque in standard form and up to 350 horsepower and 374 Nm in NISMO variants the engine delivers strong, linear power and a distinctive exhaust note. Capable of revving up to 7,500 rpm, it pairs with a precise 6-speed manual transmission with SynchroRev Match or a responsive 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Designed for driving enthusiasts, the VQ37VHR emphasizes naturally aspirated performance, mechanical purity, and long-term durability, making it one of Nissan’s most respected and engaging powerplants.
370Z engine fitment requires matching your specific model year and application. The 370Z Nismo variant uses a slightly different calibration than the standard 370Z. Our VIN verification confirms the correct VQ37VHR for your 370Z before it ships.
Nissan 370Z owners comparing a used engine, a remanufactured engine, and an OEM engine for the VQ37VHR benefit from the factory VVEL calibration being preserved intact. A used Nissan 370Z VQ37VHR engine from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory 3.7L DOHC V6 as an OEM engine — the original VVEL system calibration, the factory 332 hp output, the 370Z-specific tune — at a price that no remanufactured engine from an Infiniti G37 core can match for 370Z-specification accuracy. Choosing a used 370Z OEM engine restores the sports car performance this platform was designed to deliver.
Every used Nissan 370Z engine ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine Nissan OEM engines, and we stand behind every unit.
