Instructions for Removing Engine Cover

Model: Nissan 350z MK 1 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Engine

On almost all car models, a plastic protection cover is applied over the engine, giving the engine bay a tidier appearance and often serving a sound-absorbing function; this cover can be secured with pressure clips or pins, as in the case of the vehicle in question: to remove it, simply unscrew the relevant fastening pins. In the aftermarket world, especially for aesthetic tuning, it is possible to purchase these covers with special decorations and customisations that can give the engine bay a touch of personality.
