Nissan 350Z Roadster facelift, with Cobra adapted tuning - front view

The facelift required new COBRA N+ bodystyling components.

Motion Trends,
28th March 2006.

Cobra Technology & Lifestyle decided to give Nissan's 350Z Roadster a new shine for the coming convertible season.

The fresh modifications complement Cobra's already broad range of sporty N+ tuning components for the 2006 model, options which are also available for the modified 350Z coupe.

The facelift on the 350Z bodywork required the development of new COBRA N+ bodystyling components made from flexible PU-Rim in original equipment quality.

The COBRA N+ front spoiler, which also fits on the coupe, lends the 350Z more prestige while minimising aerodynamic lift on the axle. The front is further refined with a special COBRA N+ grate made from high-gloss stainless steel.

The COBRA N+ program further features striking chrome styling elements that look like air outlets in the front fenders, as well as a tank lid made from polished aluminum and chrome covers for the exterior mirrors.

If the wheel rim is damaged it doesn't have to be completely exchanged.

The COBRA N+ chrome covers for the standard rollbars provide even more purebred roadster looks.

For an even more agile handling, the COBRA N+ engineers developed custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations with diameters of 18, 19 and 20 inches as well as lowering kits and sport suspensions calibrated to these wheels and tires.

The most exclusive version in the wheels program is the multi-piece COBRA N+ CN14 light-alloy wheel with sporty five-spoke design, chrome finish and stainless steel rings on the outside wells. As a result, if the rim is damaged by a curbstone contact, it doesn't have to be completely exchanged. The protection lip can be easily replaced by a new part.

On both Nissan 350Z coupe and roadster, the new wheels fill out the available space under the wheel arches in size 8.5Jx20 with 245/30 ZR 20 tires in front and in size 9.5Jx20 in the rear with 275/30 ZR 20 tires.

Customers can also choose between COBRA N+ sport springs for a ride-height lowering of the roadster by some 30 millimeters and two height-adjustable COBRA N+ coil-over sport suspensions. The suspensions are made from stainless steel and come with either adjustable rebound or with adjustable bound and rebound. Both versions lower the ride height of coupe and roadster by between 20 and 40 millimeters on front and rear axle.

The COBRA N+ dual-flow stainless-steel sport rear muffler with 90 millimeter exhaust tips left and right lends the 350 Z a more striking rear appearance and... a more powerful engine melody.

The cockpit of Nissan's two-seater coupe and roadster can be upgraded with special stainless-steel sill plates with illuminated COBRA N+ logo.

The quality of COBRA N+ components and parts is covered with a 2-year warranty and unlimited mileage documents.
