US/LHD Nissan 350Z only, narrowed to factory 2003-2008 Coupe and 2004-2008 Roadster applications using VQ35DE, including RevUp, or VQ35HR equipment. Resolve recipient and donor VIN/build, Coupe versus Roadster, engine/trim branch and exact suspension-member identity. Treat 2007-2008 NISMO as VIN/EPC-only rather than routine guide fitment. Exclude the 2009 Roadster because its exact service identity was not independently resolved, plus Infiniti G35 assumptions, 370Z, non-US/RHD, AWD, fabricated or tubular cradles, and cut, welded, straightened or structurally repaired members.

The checked current service identity covers VQ35DE and VQ35HR and does not expose a separate Coupe-versus-Roadster bare-member family. Exclude 2009 Roadster because current Nissan service-part fitment was not independently established; also exclude Infiniti G35, Nissan 370Z, non-US/RHD assumptions, fabricated drift or swap cradles, cut/welded conversions and structural-repair instructions. Treat 2007-2008 NISMO as VIN/EPC-only because the checked generic service fitment did not isolate that trim.

US/LHD Nissan 350Z only, narrowed to 2003-2008 Coupe and 2004-2008 Roadster factory steering-column and intermediate-shaft applications. Resolve recipient and donor VIN/build, Coupe versus Roadster, VQ35DE versus VQ35HR production branch and exact installed identities. Exclude the 2009 Roadster because its exact upper-column service identity was not independently proved, plus Infiniti G35 assumptions, 370Z, non-US/RHD, altered or welded shafts, collision-collapsed assemblies, and all theft, lock, immobilizer or restraint-bypass work.
